Do you collect any type of sports memorabilia as a hobby? If so, what specifically do you collect and why?

I have quite a few memorabilia items around my house. I have a couple of pictures of wrestlers hanging up on my wall right now that are framed and autographed. One of them is the Undertaker and the other is Andre the Giant. Andre the Giant is probably my favorite wrestler of all time but if you had to ask me which wrestler I like that wrestles today then I'd have to pick the Undertaker.
 
I never really got into the whole collection of sports memorabilia simply because I always felt it would be a rather expensive hobby, which can also be said for trading cards and whatnot. Eventually as I grew up, some people gave me some baseball cards here and there, but I never really was one to get excited over getting new cards. Now of course, I'm always excited if I'm able to sell a few. :D
 
I collect hockey pucks, have 300ish from the NHL, ECHL, IHL (old and new), AHL, UHL, NCAA, juniors and probably some other leagues I am forgetting. A few are signed by current and former Redwings including Gordie Howe (I need to see if its authentic, but I only paid $30). I also collect NHL McFarlanes from any team, mainly the Redwings. Several hockey photos signed and unsigned in 8x10 frames. I have three game used sticks from the ECHL Kalamazoo Wings, all acquired from the team or players. Eventually I would like to get more game used jerseys, got two now and few replicas.

I have a small football collection of Packers items as well as a large collection of NASCAR items (mainly 1:64 cars). Almost all of my NASCAR stuff is packed away since I don't follow it anymore.
 
I also have autographed pictures of Big Show and 'Hollywood' Hulk Hogan. But I think the Undertaker and Andre the Giant one's would have to be my favorites.

Most of my autographs are from actor from some of my favorite movies but I do have a few wrestlers.
