This is our assignment this week:"Photograph something as viewed as an assortment...something that comes in different varieties. For example, it could be a bunch of flowers, or nuts, or crayons, or birds. The sky's the limit!"
I have to admit, when I read assortment, I transposed it to collection. So, today you're getting a favorite collection from me!
I also want to thank Karen, Carley and Steven for doing this wonderful Challenge
This is my collection of autographed baseballs.
Most of them were signed in the '80's,
the most recent was last year.

They are normally kept under my bed, in this box.
Here are some close-ups.
Duke Snyder, Maury Wills, Willie Mays.
Ted Williams, Mickey Mantle, Fernando Valenzuela and Ernie Banks.
All great guys.
And for VARIETY,
I also have a couple of autographs, that are not on baseballs.
Muhhamad Ali loves me, yes!
Joe Montana doesn't love me, but that's OK.
A footnote, I collected all these autographs, not Bob. It really is my collection. Unusual, yes.
Here's some humor, from last Saturday's newspaper:
Now, go check all the other Robins.

Hi Jan :)
How cool is that? You have a variety of signatures! Neat, neat, neat! Thank you for playing, your entry made me smile.
Always, Carly
Wow. Williams, Mantle and Mays, et al. That's a serious collection! Not to mention Ali and Montana. That's quite a variety of sports legends. Thanks for showing these to us.
Great collection. NLM will be drooling if he stops by. Poor guy. He loves stuff like that. Great Round Robin post!
Oh MAN! You are so lucky! Love your collection of baseballs!! Especially Mickey Mantles! We are Yankee fans!

Very cool. A boys dream. Thank yo for sharing.
WOW! Awesome collection..just awesome.
As an adult, I hadn't thought of myself as a baseball fan, but when I was a kid (many, many years ago) I collected baseball cards and Mickey Mantle was my favorite, so I must have liked the sport at one time. Then Maury Wills' son went to the same high school I did, in the suburbs of Spokane, and he was special because he was the only African American in the school, too. Can you say popular? LOL! I didn't personally know him but I was proud to have him in our high school. This baseball/sports collection is truly cool!
Wow! That's quite a collection!
Mine's up too :)
I would never have guessed this about you. I have a few balls and bats still left although have sold many of them. :) I sold my Mark McGuire Rookie card for over $300 when he hit all his runs. :) But think I still have his ball.
I love that you have Ali!
I saw variety as collection too, but I forgot and mine won't be up 'til tomorrow.
I am soooooooo jealous.
Interesting collection!!
(love the cartoon too)
