A hobby just for showcasing
By SAM SATTERFIELD ’
Contributed
Usually about this time every year, I display in my counters (along with the jewelry)
some very valuable sports memorabilia that I have collected over the years.
This includes some very rare baseball cards, plaques, jerseys, bats and balls, and a
wide variety of other items that may also be of interest to you as it has been for me.
As many of you know, I became involved with the Braves organization back when they
were associated with the Macon minor league team. I got to know many of the current
Braves players as well as others who have gone on to play for rival major and minor
league clubs.
I have kept in touch with many of these guys and have been fortunate to sell jewelry
to many of them in recent years.
These connections have also benefited me in my attainment of sports collectibles and
autographs. For example, I have an autographed Chipper (Lariy) Jones rookie card.
This is a hobby that I have enjoyed for as long as I can remember but I am only inter
ested in “showcasing” my collection - it is not for sale!
With Father’s Day coming soon, your dad may enjoy seeing some of my classic stuff
(older layer items) on display.
Bring the kids, too - they will get a kick out of it!
After the amazing success of the Warner Robins Little League Champs, for the first
time I will also have a collection of items in honor of these talented youngsters.
I invite you to come by and see the wide array of collectibles that will be on display
during the next few weeks.
