Lifelong Yankees supporter, New Jersey resident Harvey Wildstein, is planning to sell his extensive collection of baseball memorabilia later this month.

Babe Ruth items are expected to feature in the sale

The 79 year old collector told NBC that Yankees memorabilia makes him feel like a boy again.

"I go downstairs, I look at all my stuff, and I come up smiling," he said. "I say, 'Whoo! My youth is back.' Yeah, I feel like flying."

A significant part of the collection, which includes armfuls of signed baseballs, game-worn jerseys, and important baseball bats, has been moved from the basement to the garage, where it will be sold on July 27-28.
