Most prized baseball (or sports) related possession?


Recommended Posts

A ball signed by one player is usually more valueable than a team signed ball, just FYI.

i will agree with you, but i don't worry too much about value. if you want to get picky, nothing is worth anything until you find someone that will pay you for it. i assume most dodger fans would pay more for the team ball then for gehrig's - as most yankee fans would pay more for gehrig's then a ball signed by a bunch of bums.

i just started the thread to see what kind of cool stuff everyone had. :D

major league baseball signed by Jay Buhner

nice! :D i went to a game when i was visiting family in seattle when i was about 13 (saw griffey play against ripken - got a cool picture of them talking before the game). anyway, they had a "jay buhner" night where anyone that shaved their head got a free right field ticket. i didn't participate, but seeing all the shaved heads was sweet!

SGC graded (50) 1887 Old Judge n172 Tobacco card - Hugh Duffy (HOF - http://www.baseballhalloffame.org/hofers_a...Duffy_Hugh.htm)

The picture on the hall of fame website is the same one on my card. This is partcularly valuable because Sir Hugh is my favorite player (I like history)...check out his 1884 tripple crown season .440/.438 batting average (avg depends on which source you look at STATS or Elias Sports Bureau)

I also have a bunch of 1909-11 t206's:

Christy Mathewsson (ungraded)

Addie Joss (psa 3)

Rube Waddell (psa 2)

Home Run Baker (psa 5)

Cheif Bender (gai 2)

Jack Chesbro (psa 4)

Roger Bresnahan (ungraded)

Joe Tinker (ungraded)

Sam Crawford (ungraded)

Three Finger Brown (ungraded)

Vic Willis (ungraded)

Rube Marquard (psa 4)

Ed Foster (psa 3)

Wee Willie Keeler (ungraded)

Jimmy Lavender (sgc 40)

Jake Stahl (ungraded)

Whitey Alperman (ungraded)

Lena Blackburne (ungraded)

Jack Bliss (ungraded)

Jap Barbeau (ungraded)

others of note:

1915 Cracker Jack - Tris Speaker (gai 2)]

1911 (i think) t201 mecca double folder - Eddie Collins / Frank "Home Run" Baker (ungraded)

I have a pretty sweet olde tyme card collection...and it's still growing

I have 3:

1. Autographed Card of Willie Myas I got at a card show when I was 10, I stood there and stared at him in awe until somebody told me to move on. That was the only time I was ever star struck.

2. Foul Ball caught at the Mets vs. Tampa Bay Devil Rays game in Tampa off the bat of Benny Agbayani.

3. A scrapbook published by the Daily News of the Greatest season (until this one 20 years later) of the 1986 Mets.

I have a 1955 Brooklyn Dodgers baseball, most notably signed by Koufax, Robinson, Hodges, Reese, Campanella, Newcombe, Snider, etc.... It is probably my most vaulable price wise peice of baseball history. I saw one online that went for $12K, but I would never sell it...

I have too many autographs to mention, I worked for T.W.I.B. and Pennant Chase in the early 90's so I got alot of autographs during those times, even though my credentials forbid me too<G>. My favorite being Paul Molitor's on a strat-o-matic baseball card and on a Milwaukee Brewer Blue(Alt-Day) Jersey which I got myself about 9 years later at Yankee Stadium.

Out of all the autographs I have I guess Wayne Gretzky's would be the most valuable, my most infamous would be OJ Simpsons which I have on a Yankee ticket stub when I saw him prior to his ill gotten fame at the stadium, I think it was early 1980's...

I also met Joe Dimaggio in the catcombes of Yankee Stadium in 1996 when the 1st game of the World Series was cancelled, I didnt ask for his autograph but I did shake his hand, I do have his autograph though, I had wrote him a letter years before and he sent one back.

Mine is a Tiger Stadium scorebook from June 17, 1965 (Tigers 6 Red Sox 5) that I personally got signed by nearly every member of that Tigers team. Just chased them down after the game. It was a time before autographs were bought and sold.

I won't list them all, but there are:

Norm Cash (complete with stains from the orange he was eating)

Al Kaline

Manager Chuck Dressen

Denny McLain

Mickey Lolich

Bill Freehan

Willie Horton

D. McAuliffe

and on and on, all the way down to light hitting SS Ray Oyler.

A Redskins training camp flyer signed by Coach Joe Gibbs

A book written by D Vitale signed by Dickie V himself

Other than that , the only things I have that might be considered as memoribilia are a bunch of newspapers of recent Super Bowls and various Redskins games.

I played a fantasy camp several years ago at Wrigley Field. I have a framed picture hanging over my desk. It has me, my brother, and Billy Williams in our Cubs uniforms. It is incribed: "To Michael, an outstanding rookie and wicked hitter, Billy Williams". In the background over the right field fence stands the high rise that was built on my boyhood backyard a few blocks from Wrigley.
