Live With CDP Talk Show, Guest: Paul Bychko (Toronto Blue Jays Super Fan and Memorabilia Collector) Season #12, Episode #18, November 26th, 2025
My name is Paul Bychko and I have been collecting Blue Jays items since I was 5-6 years old. This was kind of an oddity since my hometown is Sault Ste. Marie; known primarily for being a hockey town. My first items comprised of the Fire Safety Team Sets that were given out at Fire Stations across Ontario. My mother was chaperoning a visit to the local Fire Hall and got me a set. Up to that point in my life, I had hardly watched baseball, and I really knew nothing about it. However, the pictures of the player intrigued me, and I started watching the Jays on the television on CTV and TSN. I had an old football helmet radio that I would listen to Tom and Jerry on while in the waiting rooms while my sisters had their dance practices. This love for the Jays was strong until I was about 17 years old when the team had updated their team logo and most of the players that I had watching growing up had moved on. I was growing up and became interested in other things. My love for the Jays reignited when in the early 2000’s when I was finally able to visit Roger’s Centre for the first time on a road trip with my father for Alumni weekend. That weekend I met many of my favourites including Tony Fernandez, John Cerutti, Cito Gason, Cecil Fielder and Rance Mulliniks. Since then, I have been a bigger fan than ever, and my collection has grown significantly. I have an excel documenting over 13000 Blue Jays items and counting. My focus of my collection is on autographs, specifically heavily inscribed autographed baseballs documenting everything from rare plays, quirky moments, team and MLB records and Blue Jays firsts. Other key aspects of my collection include tickets, signed jerseys, books, coins, and bobbleheads. This collection will ultimately be passed down to my two boys, JP and Noah, and perhaps some items donated to the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame, as well as the Toronto Blue Jays organization. / bluejayshistory
