I'm at awe right now as I just received my copy of Dugout Treasures from Jonathan. Since I was 9 years old while growing up in New York my dad and I did nothing but hunt for Baseball memorabilia. We amassed a collection for a 20 year period that was one to be very proud of. But when I was 30ish life and times for me financially took over and selling that collection and items where I vividly remember when and where we got them became reality. What Jonathan put together here is not only a book on his collection, but more a passion shared among two brothers and their father that will be captured forever in print. I brought this book over to my dad to show him and he hasn't put it down....the first thing he asked me..."Do you remember...blah blah blah...And that is what this book is doing, it has brought back the greatest memories ever... not the memories of things we had but memories of my dad and I finding the things we had.
Thank you Jonathan for an amazing tribute to us baseball collectors and your amazing collection and stories (which I will be reading fully tonight) but honestly more importantly for me...It brings back so many incredible memories of my childhood...on the hunt with my dad ! I'm thrilled to be back collecting what I love and a book like this reminds me why I do it.
OH and whenever you want to get rid of any of those "White Gloves" on the "White Glove" page you just let me know.....lol.
