jdthakid36-(Nolan Ryan)

[BBonds25]

I'd like to officially welcome our newest member to the HOF, jdtahkid36.

Here are the stats to his impressive colelction:

Hey, I would like to be considered as a Super Collector of Nolan Ryan. Below is some of the highlights and stats of my collection. Ryan has been my idol since before I can remember, but I can trace it back to 1990. I've been collecting his cards and memorabilia for 18 years...and named my first dog after him...lol. I would've named my first born after him, but the wife has boundaries. His passion and love for the game of baseball sparked my interest and I modeled my career around him. It is always a challenge, but fun, to collect his stuff because he has so many cards and memorabilia out there, it's never going to get old trying to find something I don't have, only more challenging.

Total Beckett % - 2005/8575 = 23%
(not including Broder cards - 35-40+ additional)
Autos - 1
Game Used - 68
1/1's - 1 (pack pulled)
1968 Topps RC
2 AUTO'd balls
1 AUTO'd Rangers jersey
2 AUTO'd 8x10s
AUTO'd Ryan/Seaver promo (only made)
several magazines, beanies, SLU's, figurines, the list could go on forever. Takes up several walls and walls space in my hobby room.

Congrats Josh. I've had to dig through lots of Nolan Ryan lists to find some you need.

Congrats Josh. Nolan is another player who's stuff is very very hard to get. Best of luck! Hopefully you get some more autos and 1/1's in the future

Congratulations! Welcome to the club!

I often kick myself for not buying a Ryan rookie some 15 years ago.

Congrats!

Thanks guys. It's a challenge, but always fun!

Andrew, you've helped me out a ton! I have a hard time finding Vlad's you need! I might have one coming...

The freewebs links don't work, but by looking at the stats, I think it's an awesome collection! 2,000+ different cards of any player is an amazing accomplishment!

Congrats on the honor!

Thanks! The freewebs links should work. They just worked for me. I need to update the page anyways...it's been a while, lol.
