Let's See Your Holy Grail - Prize Possession - #1 Item

I have two I'd never sell. Neither have a ton of monetary value, but to me...priceless!
My grandfather was a photographer for the Detroit News. This hung in his basement until I inherited it. This is an original News photo of the '35 Tigers taken by William Keunzel.



My dad was a photographer for the Free Press and got to go to the annual Tiger party around 1977. He walked around with a notepad and got a whole bunch of autographs personalized to me. You can imagine being 12 years old and waking up to see this on the kitchen table! Unfortunately, Ralph was very wrong!

Amazing pieces everyone, neat to see the diversity in what people consider their #1s.

Jamie that BL is insane, its definitely in the right collection.

This is the original plaque that belonged to the "Cannon Trophy" (college football rivalry trophy between Purdue University and University of Illinois). This plaque has been on the rivalry trophy since the first year they started the tradition in 1943. As you can see, the plaque is filled and both universities agree to start a new plaque.I was very fortunate to find the opportunity to owning this piece of history. As a second generation Purdue Alum. it's priceless to me.
