Obviously, a lot of card collectors don't limit their collections to baseball or cards. They collect cards of football or basketball or hockey players, or of movie stars, or scientists or whatever. They also collect magazines and yearbooks and baseballs and bats and caps and bobbleheads and figurines and posters and photographs and seat cushions, and items I can't even describe. And they collect things like what's pictured above. I received this minature tractor-trailer from my sister-in-law, who seems to have no idea what I collect except that it's baseball-related and that I like the Dodgers. She also gave me a die-cast pick-up truck with similar Dodgers decorations. When I was 9 years old, these would be the coolest items I owned. I'd vroom, vroom, vroom them all around the room. But now? When I received them as a gift? I'm trying not to sound ungrateful. But I call items like this dust collectors. I have no idea what to do with this stuff. The Dodgers tract...
Up all hours talking baseball, cardboard & collecting
