During this Holiday Season, we would like to hear your stories about how you contribute to society by giving away cards/product to those less fortunate. Tell/Show us how you help to make a difference during the holidays, and one selfless fan will get an autographed Ken Griffey Jr. promotional poster opposed to lumps of coal Happy Holidays!
Thank you to everyone for sharing your various stories of how you help the less fortunate over the holidays. Michael Doffing was our random winner - thank you "magicpapa" for helping to spread holiday cheer to those in need throughout the year! We hope everyone has a fun and safe holiday!
Yall have some freaking awesome collections. Ive really enjoy looking at this thread.
I have 3 things that are probably my favorites.
In the frames with the Super Bowl Patches are original ticket stubs from each of the Redskins 5 Super Bowl appearances. The first one is the Dolphins undefeated season in 72 and the last 2 stubs are Autographed by the SB MVPs William's and Rypien.
An autographed "Slingin" Sammy Baugh (Best all round player ever IMO) Jersey I framed myself.
If my house was engulfed in flames and I could only grab one thing from my collection on the way out my Sean Taylor autographed mini helmet is coming with me.

Babe, Dolph Camille and my Grandfather. Babe was a spring training instructor for the Dodgers at the time. My grandfather worked in PR for the Cardinals.....
Sophomore year of college playing ball - had more hair back then too 😉 One time someone asked me how I knew it was a real signature and not a fake... Just had to laugh.
I got these back in 2006. These gloves were worn during Pujols' record breaking month of April, 2014. He hit 14 home runs in April, which is the most ever for that month. Also, a neat additional tidbit, in the 2007 Topps card, he is wearing the same model of gloves....possibly the exact same ones.
With the season right around the corner, and the Bryce Harper presser wrapped up, figured I'd share this as well. Signed by 26 members of the 2009 team, including Pedro Martinez.

My favorite collectible (non sports)
Did you play Mario 3 a lot?
My son was serious about the game and we played it so much that we had contests to see who could save the princess the fastest?
He beat me every time. His record: 25 minutes; mine: 28 minutes
And, I'm going off my head? When you save the princess and replay immediately? You get 28 P-wings! Definitely makes "looking around" interesting since ya never know what you're gonna find.
I was also a big Adventures of LoLo fan - have completed I, II and III versions
Here's a couple more of my favorites. The cap has a bit of a story to it. It was listed on Ebay and I verified the cap with the MLB coa that was attached to it. I saw the date of the game that it came from and googled that date/game. A photo came up from that game with the image that was featured later on the give away lunch box and also on a souvenir cup that was given out at the concessions at a later time.
So it appears that I have the autographed cap that is shown in those images.
Another favorite piece is the 2010 All-Star clubhouse chair, signed by Evan.

my work in progress Masters "Champs" flag. a couple of years ago when i decided to embark on this journey, i made a pact with my girlfriend. per her request, she gets to cozy up to the players and acquire the graphs (whenever possible), but ultimately i get the flag. thus far it has been a beautiful thing. not only has it included her in my dream project, but it has also opened the door for additional benefits -- such as freeing up my hands to preserve memories. i included Jordan, Freddie Boom Boom and Phil (i need him on this flag but got him on another) below.
in about a month we'll be harassing pros at the Valero in San Antonio to see if we can increase the tally

Rarely see that Mantle Al - nice!
This one is a keeper! Nice.
If you're an exhibit card collector?
This vending machine would be the ultimate at over 6 ft tall.
Exhibit Supply Co. - Chicago - c1940s
And a couple of companion pieces.
I would've swopped out the star studded one if it wasn't already in a frame.
Ty Cobb used this check to purchase World Series Tickets. It has the Yankee World Series account stamp on the back.
got this flyer from a show,seen a copy of the Hirshfield litho... kinda spendy
so I had my son draw me my own copy "Priceless"

What year did you get the Mantle auto Keith.
It's one of the nicer I've seen.

Really nice Keith - think I remember the photo.
Here's a nice letter written by former President Hoover to the president of the national league - thanking him for the pass.
It's amazing how many of those Wiffle Ball full boxes survived. Very nice - and great to display.
Mine are softball sized.
I have some WS press pins - these are my 2 favorite pairs from the '55 and '56 WS:
And here's the "original" artwork from Balfour for the '55 Yankees WS pin:

I got another fun one...

Another Gift
Hand painted on 16”x16” tile.
Is there a story behind the tile? Reminds me of the old Atari game.
Very close! It’s a Tecmo Bowl (8 bit original Nintendo game) image of Walter Payton.
Here's probably the ugliest set I have.
1952 Baseball Emblem
Full set (approx. 5x5") - 16 teams - since it came out in 1952 - here's the complete checklist in the "order they finished" in that year.
NY Yankees - WS Champions
American League
National League
What are they?
Ugly! Can be mounted on a bike or car or used as an ice scraper.
I'm curious as to why it says 'Reno, Nevada'. I had no idea he had any association with Reno, Nevada...let alone having a bank account there.
Bumping this awesome thread and begging for more participation...

He lived the last few years of his life there in his hunting cabin before moving back to Georgia.
Those Jordan 11's are crazy!

Shane
That's a really good looking display Shane.
I assume that's the COA with his sig? Really nice touch to put it in the display.
Got this many years ago.
By the SLU, I was able to find the game - Sep 2, 1953 (Wed) - @ Detroit
Boston won 5-2; Ted Williams went 1 for 3, 1 RBI; Piersall 2/3; Kell 0/3.

Is it fair to say that the best thing about your painting is that it really ties the room together?
