Wow... this is the thread that dreams are made of. I don't think I've ever seen in one thread so many cards that I didn't even know existed. The Charleston's, and Torriente's and Ruths. Oh my. Here is my contribution... no where near what some of you guys have, but I'm happy with them!

This is Castro's business card circa 1950, shortly after graduating. It's not mine by the way. I put the picture of Peter's card on therebecause I can only post in doubles on this site.

1907 Seamless Steel Tubes Cobb (mailed by Cobb himself) Wow. That is one of the coolest thing in this thread, in my opinion.

Tom, those pieces are amazing! They should be in a public museum. They are exactly like League of Our Own (great movie). Really awesome. (I see now these were posted months ago, but I am glad someone brought the thread back up, because i missed them the first time and am glad IO could comment the 2nd time around)

Kevin..wow. That's certainly a mic drop post. I'm embarrassed to follow that. I lack focus so my collection has many different tentacles. Nonetheless my favorite items relate to my childhood obsession with the 1971 Pirates. These are not my most valuable items but they certainly make me smile which is why we all chase the items in our collections.
I have owned this signed Roberto Clemente Night Poster for more than thirty years. When I bought it I was earning around $8.00 an hour. My new bride didn’t blink when I dropped more than a week’s salary on it. It was then I knew she was a keeper. The Roberto Clemente Memorial Pennant was a recent pick up. I find it to be a poignant reminder of that day and the emotions I experienced when I learned of his death. In the top of the 8th inning of Game 7 Jose Pagan's double into the gap off of Mike Cuellar drove in Stargell with what proved to be the winning run. I could never prove this was the bat he used but it is fun to consider that possibility. The team issued 1971 World Champion jewelry reminds me that I don’t own a ring  . Willie Stargell and Roberto Clemente were my technicolor version of my Father’s Mantle and Maris. Whenever I hear Santana’s Soul Sacrifice I think of them. Because of that these coin banks are always displayed together. Finally the 1971 National League Pennant which hung at Three Rivers Stadium during the World Series is my favorite item. It is far too large to frame or display in my home. My wife jokingly calls it my burial shroud. At least I think she is joking...

Great, Jay! In your Old Judge book, it says there is one McPhee known in a museum collection. Is yours a recently found copy?
