Oddest collectible? Whether it be a card, ball, bat or whatever...
When I was in Saudi during desert storm, I couldn't resist keeping a pack of TP since it had a camel on it! The stuff was made in Saudi by a contractor whom I figure thought he was honoring us with the TP? There's nothing like a bad ass camel starring at you when you go to the john!
Our favorite food? KFC...kentucky fried camel!

Happy New Year...the gremlins are out ringing in the new year! The bubbly wine is running at Stones casa!

    My oddest collectible? I would say it would be a contract signed by former Phillies Whiz Kid Granny Hamner (and his wife) to have their house built here in Richmond, Va. I bought it at an estate sale. Can't really explain why I wanted it, but I did.

    great question !

    Would have to be this Goodyear Blimp that I bought because it flew over a football game I attended :

    Stone - I'll be there as soon as I can figure out how to fire this thing up again.

    It would help if you'd just stand out in your driveway. That way I 'd only have to lower a rope for you.
    The last time I tried to land this dam thing, I ended up knocking over some poor soul's mailbox ... image

    Stone, I think GAI will encapsulate your unopened pack of Desert Storm toilet paper. They have holders for everything. I think Babe Ruth's former two-story house is in a GAI holder (coming up in a Mastro auction).

    I hope you won't get in trouble for stealing valuable government property. The Pentagon buys TP for $43.50 a roll, you know!

    Mine would have to be an oversized Margarita Glass that is filled with the corks from every bottle of wine I've ever had. I don't know why I kept all those corks. imageimageimageimage

    A "Saved by the Bell" script autographed by Screech aka Dustin Diamond.

    It's got sentimental value because it was the first and last time I've ever heckled someone.

    I have the towel that Michelle Kwan used after she put here hand prints in cement at
    Epcot's walk of fame. Me and my wife waited far too long to see what they would do
    with the towel, as it turns out it fell into the hands of some janitors who pitched it
    and I fished it out.

    That's just creepy.

    Not near as creepy as my Tonya Harding "Event Used" bat, signed by her and Jabba the Hutt.

    I had a funny feeling there'd be a pot reference in this thread before all was said and done.

    Why was this dug up ?

    My sister works for a prominent Hollywood cardiologist ... does stress tests and EKGs on all the big shots. You can watch her on some TV show called the "Biggest Loser." She found this Christmas card laying around the office and sent it to me.

    My oddest collectible would have to be the Carlos Guillen game worn signed shower sandle. It was used in the showers around April of this year.

    I just bought a collection of cards from a guy. There mounted in his house are ticket stubs, a signed newspaper, and the cleats that Frank Reich wore in the Bills famous comeback against Houston. I thought that was pretty cool.

    I personally have a water bottle from Reich when I worked at Bills camp and a pair of spikes I used to wear that belonged to Art Still when he played with the bills.

    Best collectable I ALMOST had... Lawyer Malloys helmet. I was holding it while he signed some autos. He forgot that I had it and didn't come back. An equipment manager saw me with it and started asking questions. I gave it back without a fight, but could have easily just walked out had I thought of it sooner.

    My oddest collectible would have to be this syringe that I found out in left field while on a tour of AT&T park in San Francisco. I'm not sure where it came from, but I found it interesting and decided to keep it.
