I have been collecting memorabilia related to Jimmy Rollins since he broke onto the scene in September 2000. I don't have a lot of disposable income, so I have to pick and choose my spots for buying things related to the shortstop. The first part of my Rollins collection was documented in a post back in 2011 - but, there have been a few updates to share since then:

Game Used Hats

I like collecting game used hats because they are a relatively inexpensive and don't take up a lot of room. I've been buying them here and there over the past 10 years, but just got my first Jimmy Rollins gamer, his 2012 red, last year. I jumped at the chance to buy his 2013 hat a few weeks ago, and would like to add one from earlier in his career - at some point.

Game Used Jerseys

My collection of game used jerseys is nice. No more, no less. I don't have a lot of them, but decided to make a small investment and buy two Rollins. My thought: I would rather have a few that mean something than a bunch of no-names that don't. Like the hats I mentioned ealier, the jerseys date from the past two seasons - one away gray and one home alternate. The away jersey must have been taken right off his back after the game, it is completely soiled from a head first slide.

Artwork

Not the most expensive item in my collection, this oil painting by Philly artist Lou Baker may be my favorite. I have a few of Baker's works, including two of Mike Schmidt. Guess I'm an amateur art collector, too...
