Wolfstar Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 So most men love gathering junk and gems in some form of a collection, so what makes yours? Being a Hearts forum most of us will have a good collection of Hearts memorabilia, whats the gems in your Hearts collection and what else do you collect. Ive started getting into las vegas poker/casino chips from post 80s, and have a few worth a few hundred pound. Ebay and the like has made things like this easyt to get into but harder to find gems at a good price due to the amound of people that bid.

Bluesy1874 Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 I mainly collect football memorabilia, have quite a few signed hearts strips from down the years, Also a signed hearts ball from the game after we went for sale against aberdeen Have a signed barcelona ball from barcelona vs deportivo a few years back when messi was just breaking through into the first team, also a signed rangers ball that my dad got when he was younger and passed it down, numerous pictures and programmes signed. The biggest or maybe most valuable things are a signed Manchester United strip and ball from the 1999 treble winning team. Apart from that the last thing i can remember collecting was POGS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is STRIKER the comic that had the Safest Hands In Soccer in it? If so, I used to love that, but IIRC did it not merge with the Victor, becoming Victor and Striker for a few months, then just Victor with only a couple of the Striker stories surviving?
