Default What is the best item in your collection?
I've seen some amazing items posted here. I would love to know what you guys feel are the centerpieces of your memorabilia collections? All memorabilia and oddball items are welcomed! Pics are always a big plus

This is always an easy one for me as a Cubs/pennant lover. Oversized and one other known example.

Epic trophy Matt. The original sculpture was done by Jack Lincoln Lambert. I have a Galvano example and it's always been a favorite.

What a beauty...how about the dimensions and a shot of the engraved title plate?...what's the pursuit and capture story on that...Sure would like to see a shot of the underside of the base...and especially any markings...Is it bronze or galvano?...looks like a galvano cast but hard to tell without seeing in person...The base is dynamite!!!

I'm sort of wondering if that is by Jack Lincoln Lambert...It looks kind of like Lambert's work but may be a different casting than I've seen before...see below a 9" inch Lambert that I believe came out of a Leland's auction...

1951 Topps Ringside contract signed by my cousin, Ray Miller (card below). Got it from the Topps Vault on eBay when they released the Ringside contracts.



Here is the card itself, signed:



And a letter from Ray talking about signing Ringside cards:

Carlton............Hello. The trophy is 19" tall to the tip of the bat and the base is 13" long. It is very heavy and weighs around 18 pounds. The wooden bat is removeable. The plaque reads 'Louisville Slugger Home Run Trophy presented to Harold Little'. There are not any other markings on it. There are 2 small hooks underneath, where it must have hung when dipped? That's my guess. I don't think it's solid bronze, but maybe has an outer layer of bronze? I acquired it from a local antiques dealer about 2 years ago, and I'm not sure where he got it. He had it for a long time and said he had gotten tired of it (CRAZY!). I love it!! Thanks for asking............Matt

Thank you for that! Some absolutely amazing cards in there. Lots of fun to read. Although since that thread was dedicated to cards, I'm going to update my OP and dedicate this thread to memorabilia and other oddball items only.

Hopefully we can get more participation. Some great stuff has already been posted in here so far as well!

Great stuff, as always.

I have three items that it would be hard to choose between:
  • 2013 NFC Championship football (Seattle vs SF) that was used to score 16 of the 40 points. We were at the game, so will be tough to ever let this one go.
  • 1910-14 baseball bat used against semi-pro black teams. We were not at any of these games
  • 1890's French Brunswick billiard cue

I will add a photo of the billiard cue when my cue-maker completes the refurbish next Spring, if any billiard fans out there.
