Well, I've got a couple of pieces I've picked up that are Topps in my collection.

1. Game used bat from Willie Harris. I saw this guy when he was playing A-Ball for the Delmarva Shorebirds. I'd been to see the 'Birds a couple of times that season and marveled at this kids range at 2nd base. So one night I had some box seats and he cracked his bat while batting. He was walking back to the dugout and I asked him for it. He gave it to me and after the game signed it for me. A pretty interesting collection piece that I'm going to keep.


I'll post a few more later.

This is one of my favorite pieces, had Gibby sign it at a Gibraltar Trade Center show in the earlyish 90's. Sorry if the pic does not do this justice, but it is framed and my camera sucks!!!

I picked this up back in 1998 at the Texas Rangers Foundation Auction they have every year. It is a game used ball and was the first pitch of that game. Receive a really nice COA from The Texas Ranger's Club stating it in detail.
Boston Red Sox vs Texas Rangers : April 9, 1993
Boston Red Sox 1, Texas Rangers 3
I had to fight for it all the way not to the last second.


I was able to get 10 Chairs out of the old Arlington Stadium back in 1994.



This Chair came out of the Stadium where he pitched his first No Hitter, Kansas City Royals Stadium.



Thanks,

Not arrived yet, but on the way, I have a set of game used, autographed batting gloves from Albert Pujols. They are from his MVP season of 2005. Both gloves are autographed, with a certificate that is also autographed by Albert Pujols. That means I have 3 autographs of Mr Pujols on the way. I bought them from the Pujols Family Foundation. I talked to the director, and he said that there were only 9 issued. They were sold out within 24 hrs. I was one of the lucky ones to have gotten a set.

Game used base from Yankee Stadium the day Derek Jeter hit his first grand slam.

It is the first game at Yankee Stadium I took my girlfriend to see.
She never knew how much fun a game could be. We got free beer from some fans that made their way from Chicago, we saw WooWoo who made the trip, and she kept trying to figure out why the outfielders are so far apart.

You can guess that I was much more excited than her when I won the base on a MLB.com auction. Actually, she is trying to figure out why anyone would want this stuff.

Mine would have to be a piece of the University of Nebraska Memorial Stadium turf from the early 90's with a letter signed by Bob Devaney and Tom Osborne. Framed in wood. Very nice.

I got two Dodger stadium seats earlier this year. They are installed at center court of my basketball court. Not autographed by anybody yet. Steve and Dave Sax both live a few blocks away so who knows!? Would be cool to have some Dodger's sign the seats.

Nice collection! But I got to ask, why do you have your own autograph on a ball?
