What's your most prized piece of memorabilia?

Found this on line many years ago as just a negative when a company in town was cleaning out the files. Asked myself if it really could be and when it got developed--yes it was... Had it autographed before he passed away in 2009. My father--circa 1947!

Best one yet! Gotta go watch Field of Dreams now.

Tough topic.

MY favorite piece is one I picked up when I worked for the Chicago Cubs. When I say picked up I should say I dug out of the dumpster as they were cleaning out many old files. This is a team roster sheet that each player had to sign in spring training to verify that they had received their meal money for the week. This came from the files of former Traveling Secretary Bob Lewis. The signatures are much bolder than the scan suggests.

I have this narrowed down to the Spring of 1954 which would be Ernie Banks' first full season in the majors and possibly his first Spring training with the team.
