    Sore subject for me... When I was a kid (39 now) my Dad was HUGE into collecting... cards, auto's, memorabilia... We lived about 2 hr's from Cooperstown so we were there for every HOF induction and it was always a great time. I got to meet pretty much every living member of the HOF plus all the living Negro Leaguers.... The Players that stand out in my mind were Stan Musial who played a mean harmonica andTed "Double Duty" Radcliffe. They were genuinely nice guys. At one point we pretty much had every baseball card minus the the nosebleeds like Wagner, rookie Mantle, etc. But the $$ we had invested in that stuff was staggering (for example we had a pair of Ty Cobbs spikes, and one of Babe Ruth's bats). My dad even lent some stuff to the HOF from time to time.

    Long story short it's all gone, it's one of the reason's I don't collect things to this day. There aren't any things you can collect that you can't lose or someone can't take away from you.

    Dude...that last sentence. I'm gonna need more clarification.

    So, I finished college early, went into the Army. While I was in my Dad got very ill, my mom got Cancer and our house was repossessed.. All of this unbeknownst to me as I was on the other side of the world. The contents of the house were put into storage which, of course, my parents couldn't afford to access and everything was supposedly auctioned off... For a time parents lived motel to motel when not in the hospital. Apparently there was supposed to be a hold on the eviction, and noone was home at the time as my sister was staying with friends and my parents were in the hospital..

    When I found out I got them set up with family and got them taken care of but it was too late for the house or any assets... Including gold coins and other collectables... The irony is there was plenty of value in the stuff inside the house to more than cover the expenses.

    My parents definitely f'd up, didn't plan.. that combined with bad luck and poor decisions equaled a disaster. My dad died while Barry Bonds was chasing the home run record and we were able to talk on the phone a few times while he was in the ICU before he died.

    That's heartbreaking man. Life can be cold.
