Schottzie -- good dog!
I will add a First Day Cover owned by Captain Kangaroo (forgive my blackout skills -- didn't want to show his old address) and a Billy Martin calendar display (although I guess anything Billy Martin related could be considered oddball). Greg

You guys are making me realize that I'm mostly an even ball collector.
I do, however, have an affinity for these baseball head banks. My children (who aren't exactly young) are a bit scared of them. I try to pick them up when the price is right, but they usually sell pretty well if they are in decent shape. I'm currently looking for an Oakland A's bank if anyone has one.

It is 1 to 1.5 size too big...but good news I got in touch with the Jeweler who custom made the rings for the Schott family and I have a 230 appointment tomorrow for him to size it on the spot while I wait. He has his shop in Cincy and I live 81 miles from there. And YES I plan to wear as I am wearing it now as I type this..I have be putting these rubber sticky spacers in since I bought it and they drive me nuts cause they only last a few days or maybe a week of wear. I bought the ring to wear when I go out and not at work. It looks and feels amazing as its like 1.5 oz of gold and jewels. I did buy it to collect but I also thought life is short what good does something like this do me in a safe deposit box, and I didnt buy it to keep prestine for someone to buy 50 years after I am dead...So to answer your question I have wanted one of these rings since 1990 but always fell short at auctions (I have only seen 3 or 4 myself come up for sale) So I am wearing it!!!

I have the skateboard, too. I was able to find out it was sold only at Northern California Macy's in 1960. Tough to find, these days.

Not rare or expensive, just an example on how far us player collectors will go.
 In the center in the life vest is GI Joe Cutter(Wade Boggs). On the weird note the little guy in the radiation suit on the far left is stamped Occupied Japan.

 One of the oddest Joe Louis pieces I have, it is a door hangar presumably hung on newsstands soliciting orders for a special edition related to the Louis-Braddock fight in 1937. I've never seen another.   This is a betting slip (front and back) from the Louis-Schmeling I fight in 1936. Looks almost governmental, which is great since betting was illegal at the time.  Last of all, how about a piece of actual trash: a 1930s candy wrapper for Barney Ross's candy bar. Ross, a HOFer and two-division champ, was awarded America's third highest military honor, the Silver Star, as well as a presidential citation, for heroism on Guadalcanal during WWII.

Magnificent oddball stuff, everyone! Let's make this a long ongoing thread.
Here's a smattering of oddball items with the common thread being they are all Tobacco-related... Pipes, Pipe Stands, Lighters, Cigarette Holders, Match Safes, Match Strikers, Ash Trays, Cigar Tins, Humidors, and other various pieces... all of which contributed to Lung, Mouth and Tongue Cancer back in the day.

Seattle Rainiers
The Seattle Rainiers won three straight PCL pennants , 1939-1941. Team members were awarded championship rings for the 1939 pennant, and were allowed to choose from other commemorative items in 1940 and 1941. After all, who needs more than one gorgeous championship ring?
 Here are a few of those alternate awards, a Kodak 8 camera, a Packard Bell floor radio, and a Remington rifle, all with commemorative championship shields. I'll add a picture of another choice, a silverware set, later.
