comfortably9numb - LPGA (and more) Memorabilia Super Collector
Congratulations to Joseph (comfortably9numb) on his induction into the Memorabilia Super Collector Hall of Fame!
He has a fantastic LPGA collection! Here are his own words about his collection:
I’m honored to be selected as a Super Collector under the Memorabilia category. My collection is only several years old, but I have worked hard at acquiring all of the pieces in my collection. The collection mainly focuses on the LPGA, while I also have auto’s from hockey, the NFL, Olympians, and other celebrities.
I have over 150 individually signed items, as well as 10 tournament used items. Most of the tournament used items I have collected in person at golf events.
I first started collecting memorabilia in the summer of 2012. I attended an LPGA event in Rochester, NY and I was able to hunt for autographs, and I loved the chase. Later in the day, several golfers gave me their used gloves. I was instantly hooked. This is why my collection is so LPGA friendly. The golfers are so much more accommodating to their fans than any other league I know of.
Top 5:
5) Anna Nordqvist Signed 8x10
Anna Nordqvist is easily my favorite golfer, so naturally I had to add something to my top 5! I have two 8x10’s from her. This one includes a personalized letter on the back of it, which is why I chose it.
4) Dupont Sisters Signed 8.5x11
The Dupont sisters are curlers from Denmark. This one holds a special place for me because of the method that I was able to obtain it. I e-mailed the team asking for an autograph, and she responded from her personal e-mail, and we spoke back and forth for almost the entire summer. She eventually gave me a picture of her and her sister printed from her personal family pictures. She is a class act. We last spoke in January 2014 as she prepared for an international curling tournament.
3) Stacy Lewis Tournament Used Glove
For those that do not know, Stacy Lewis is one of the most dominant women golfers in the game today. As such, she generally does not give out her gloves. Given the rarity of this item, I place it pretty high in the collection.
2) LPGA Flag
The flag is signed by 24 golfers total:
Morgan Pressel
Stacy Lewis
Anna Nordqvist
Jessica Korda
Ryann O'Toole

I was able to meet each of these golfers, while the signed it.
1) Christie Kerr Tournament Used Glove
This was my very first glove I received from a golfer. She is also a Hall of Fame golfer, and her gloves are not very common. The glove was used in a final round of a Major Tournament. She was very polite when I met her, and gladly gave me her glove out of a crowd of people. This is the item that got me hooked on collecting.
My collection continues to grow, and I'm always excited to get my hands on new pieces. Thanks for voting me into the club, it is truly an honor.
