I have thought about this a lot and still cannot make up my mind. Is it a curse or blessing to be a Man U collector? Loads to stuff via various sites but all attract a premium. A pre war programme on offer for £50 will £250 if Man U involved. However, there is a lot of stuff available. Then you look at Leslie's site and see the interesting memorabilia which you simply do not see for other clubs in such large numbers.

I'm edging towards the variety. If you can't afford it, that's another thing.

Most of us 'choose' the club we support either from where we were living, or maybe being taken by our fathers. It's not unlike salmon really who always return to the stream from which they were spawned!
Most collections (certainly initially) are invariably based on 'your team' and how far it progresses depends on your diligence, pocket, luck and parameters.
For me the above was certainly true, but having accumulated vast piles of similar items (the homes that is) I found it was becoming too boring. So I opted for variety, and now have an eclectic collection which still keeps me interested.
Obviously Manchester United are a special case with so many collectors and some eye-watering prices which means that you might not ever be able to get what you want. So select some different parameters and choose variety! Nod
