A member on a Facebook group found my old picture from a Google search, which surprised me, so I thought I'd post an update to my collection.

This picture is from when we first moved into our house almost two years ago.

This picture is an update after it was requested on the Facebook thread last night. I'm pretty proud of my collection.

They're all signed. 99% current players. Mostly prospects, so there are definitely some stinkers in there as well. I have almost every current star though.

Very impressive!

Where the shelves custom made or did you pick them up somewhere?

Awsome collection.

I can't help noticing the empty spots. Waiting for any specific players?

I appreciate the kind words, everyone. I am very proud of them.

Most of these, I got myself, or had some buddies in other cities and leagues get them for me (Matt Ryan, dthimesch, TBags35) and trade for what I have access to. I buy a few here and there as well.

The empty spots are a couple things. I made a couple trades lately and I just haven't gotten the new ones into their places. I took the picture kind of hastily when someone asked for an update.

Looks like 59 more down there - those rows go 8 wide. It's getting a little out of hand...

I have pictures of most of them on my bucket - RFulch40 there as well. I can't access PB on my work computer or I'd post a link.

Some of my favorites are Griffey Jr. (MLB authenticated, Ichiro (gift from my wife, Strasburg with an inscription (hard to find), Harper (Onyx & PSA, Jose Fernandez (full sig with inscription), Dave Chappelle, and lots of others.

Believe it or not, my wife enjoys helping me get them as well. It seems talking to professional athletes in their 20s is fun for girls too...
