In no particular order, here are some of my favorite items.

62 Topps. The first card. Someday I might try to get one in a high grade, but for now, these 2 will suffice.

It also holds sentimental value, because my wife got me the ungraded one while we were dating 28 years ago. She asked me what I wanted for Christmas, and I, knowing she knew nothing of cards said a "52 Topps Mickey Mantle". So she went to all the card shops she could find, and when she realized it was $1000 or more back then, she got me the Brock rookie. She was scared to death I'd not like it, but I told her she "Done good" and then to prove it, I married her.

A woman that will go looking for a specific card is a keeper indeed

This wiffle ball box display is very cool, and I've only seen 1 (this one).

Well, now that we have been married 25 years she wants me to sell everything. But I'll still keep her.

Woody Gellman worked for Topps for years. His QC was to take 2 complete Topps sets each year, and paste them into a binder. Over the years Topps Vault has been selling off these pages. Here is the 64 page, with a front and back of Lou Brock. The 63 page was on ebay a week or so ago, I was outbid, my high bid was in the $150 range.
