What is your most prized piece?
I am a big Cubs fan, God help me, I have quite a bit of stuff. I would have to say my most cherished thing is my Ryne Sandberg jersey. I love that thing. I can't decide on wearing it or framing it.
What is everyone's favorite piece?

I would have to say my favorite memorabilia piece is the 2003 Cubs team signed ball because I actually got to meet them at a Cubs event in August '03 before a game. Sosa was very joyful, Baker was laughing it up (he touched my hair). It was a great time! Then after we met the team, we went into the visitor's dugout and met Sandberg, Santo (who I had already met), and Billy Williams. Banks was supposed to be their but didn't show up. I got to roam the field, touch the ivy, it was the best experience I have ever had.

I played it right because that's what you're supposed to do, play it right and with respect. If this validates anything, it's that learning how to bunt and hit and run and turning two is more important than knowing where to find the little red light at the dug out camera. - Ryne Sandberg

Toss up:
Authenticated Jordan autograph on an 8x10 photo of him against the Cavs the year before he first retired. And an actual chair from Wrigley.. Value goes to the Jordan autograph, but my favorite would have to be the chair.

My favs are the least valued items in my collection to the average joe , but to me they are my favs. I'm a big Cuban baseball follower , so I would have to say the cover of the NY post with Contreras in his cuban uniform , signed by Jose , and a photo of Livan and Orlando Hernandez signed by both.

Ball signed by Don Nottebart. It was one that got away from him in the bullpen warming up the night he threw his no-hitter for Houston in 1964, Pete Runnels picked it up and flipped it to me, and my pop took me back the next night to get Nottebart to sign it.

This is a great thread! As far as sheer value, it would probably my Ted Williams auto'd ball, but I value his signed HOF plaque more because I got it in person in Cooperstown in 1991.
As far as what I like the most out of my own collection, I would have to say my ticket stubs from Games 1 and 2 of the 2004 World Series (yes, I was there), as well as the stub from my first game.

My favorites are a puck autographed by the Detroit Red Wings production line (Howe, Abel and Lindsay) and an double autographed copy of Carl Yastrzemski's 1968 autobiography. He signed the first blank page, and, much to my delight, turned a couple more pages to another blank page and signed it again. I remember he was talking about what he liked about sharpies right before he signed my copy.

 hey, man. it was very very special for me to have galarraga sign my scorebook on the page where he stole #127 of his career. i had been told of his recurred cancer months before and found it amazing that he was able to push his horrible news to the side and be very productive and have an excellant season for the giants. his stolen bag occurred in the seventh with the giants down a run. (the hated dodgers has just gone ahead with a run in the top of the frame.) anywaze, the big cat showed me what gamers are all about: leaving it all out there on the field. there was no way that quantrill and the hated dodgers were expecting the big fella to try for second... but he did. on guts. and he made it. so, in order of importance to me: galarraga signed career stolen base #127 page of my scorebook willie mcgee gamer bat and ball, both signed galarraga signed hr #398 page of same scorebook barry bonds gamer bat from 2001 (not signed. he offered but i said no thanx.) orlando cepeda + juan marichal stuff giants-related stuff 8x10 photo of teddy ballgame and joltin' joe, signed by both signed ny knights jacket home plate signed by will clark Last edited by west coast orange and black; 02-21-2005 at 06:06 PM.
