Hmmm...

A vintage Cassius Clay autograph.
The first signed 8x10 I bought of Ali.
A book signed by Ali with AKA Cassius Clay added.

I'll have to think some more.

Another would be the UD Masters signed Ali card /50.

Here's a pic of the 8x10.

here's a few of my top items:

markj111

Only 10? Can I count a set as one item?

VitoCo1972

Juicy topic! Pictures required. Here are my 10 (in no order):

The first Media Guide I ever completed - 1976-77 World Champion Portland Trailblazers Media Guide signed by the whole team and Coach Jack Ramsay:


Mini helmet signed by all five living Notre Dame Heisman winners:


1977-78 World Champion Washington Bullets Media Guide signed by the whole team and coach Dick Motta:


Bird/Erving/Magic rookie card signed by all three:


1956-57 World Champion Boston Celtics basketball signed by all five starters and 6th man (Bill Russell / Bob Cousy / Tom Heinsohn / Bill Sharman / Jim Loscutoff / Frank Ramsey)


The PLAYERS Championship golf flag signed by every winner (includes Nicklaus/Woods/Norman/Trevino etc.)


Probably my best IP signature ever - 2007 PGA Championship flag signed by winner Tiger Woods:


One example of my All Star Game MVP set. I should finish it this year. They all look really cool - like this Cal Ripken from 2001:


I traded a couple of Star Wars action figures for this shortly before he died. Mus have ben 1993 or so - Reggie Lewis signed RC:


My favorite broadcaster, I was too young to see him play, Tommy Heinsohn signed RC


On the wish list for next year's poll - completing 1967 Red Sox team ball, getting a Tom Brady signature.

Happy holidays everyone.

cubfan89

Must be a Celtic fan. That 1957 ball is something else.

My top 10 is pretty lame compared to all the ones posted so far. Kind of embarrassing but here are my top 10 items I currently own.

Muggyman

Muggyman's Top Ten on youtube

And, I have to add these 2 recent pickups...

bobbybakeriv

1976 Topps Carew #400 PSA 10
1977 Topps Pete Rose #450 PSA 10
1977 Topps George Brett #580 PSA 10
1977 Topps Johnny Bench #70 PSA 10

captainthreeputt

Great thread, and it was hard to narrow down the top ten. I am still not sure I have it correct, but here goes not in order of favorite:

1. 1911 C56 Georges Vezina
2. t206 Ty Cobb
3. 1932 Caramel Bobby Jones
4. 1933 Goudey Lou Gehrig
5. 1935 Chicle Stan Kotska PSA8
6. 1948 Bowman Mikan
7. 1957 Barratt Disney Characters 50 card set, all graded PSA 10
8. 1958 Bell Brand Sandy Koufax
9. 1986 Fleer Michael Jordan PSA 9
10. Signed baseball with 20 Hall of Famers incl: Mickey Mantle, Joe Dimaggio, and Sandy Koufax

Brick

Hard to choose. A couple items that stand head and shoulders above the rest are a picture of my Dads High School Team with him front and center holding the ball, the team around him. He was captain of his 1931 team. Then there is the autographed 1962 Ohio State Basketball. After that I would probably choose different items each time I went through my collection. Off the top of my head I would keep my Clemente Rookie, 52 Topps Pafko, Yaz NM-MT Rookie, Ernie Westfield autographed Negro League cap, Mantle autograph, my first PSA card a 58 Mathews All-Star PSA 6, 60 Topps Ernie Banks PSA 8 the last card I bought.

cubfan89

How much did Henry charge to sign that slab? Id like to get his signature if he comes to Chicago soon.

Muggyman

Henry was $175 for a handshake, autograph, and an everlasting memory!

Juggs

My collection blows compared to you guys, but here are the 10 I'd keep:

- 1993 SP Derek Jeter - raw card but *looks* like it would grade pretty well
- 1978 Topps Eddie Murray - raw
- 1978 Topps Molitor/Trammell - raw
- 1975 Topps George Brett - raw
- 1980 Topps Ricky Henderson - raw
- 1984-85 O Pee Chee Steve Yzerman - raw
- 1989 Score Barry Sanders - raw
- 1981 Topps Joe Montana - raw
- 1978 Topps Tony Dorsett - raw
- 1981 Topps Billy Sims - raw

Not for value, but nostalgia....these guys were my favorite to watch play.

rexvos

Probably these: If I had to I could sell everything, though. Just hope I never have to.

Great thread! I don't have any thing that compares to the collections posted here but I will share mine.
In no special order
#1 1971 Steve Garvey Topps Rookie Card PSA 8 (looked a long time for good centering
#2 Original News photo of Steve Garvey with Casey Stengel at a Dodgers Old Timers game. I was there with my parents, bro, sis, and grand parents. Not worth much, but very good memory.

#4 Any presents I have gotten from my wife...Last year they got me a Jackie Robinson photo and a Mickey Mantle Card with authenic jersey
#5 & #6 My original cards from when I was a kid....1976 Steve Garvey and 1969 Don Drysdale card stands out. My late father bought the Drysdale card for me when I was just a year old.
#7 Dodgers 1976 Annual Program (still have my original)
#8 1963 Topps Manny Mota RC PSA 8.5 Not a high dollar card but its one of my favorites

Wow great stuff. I love the pics.

Quick question. How do you guys get the pics to show up in the thread instead of just a link...

Still kinda new here but am loving it.

Frozencaribou rolls out the hockey for the holidays:

1) If I hadn't subbed this myself I wouldn't own it. 1 of 3 with none higher. Love the in action picture. My favourite card.


2) Henri Richard is totally underrated in the hockey world.


3) Maurice Richard's toughest Parkhurst card to find in high grade. This one isn't going anywhere.


4) Great memories of picking this up at a show in raw condition at half book.


5a) Okay, the centering isn't the best, but a 6?


5b) Orr is the best defenceman ever.



6) My favourite Orr card.


7) I always am on the fence. Collect this set now or next year?



8) Love the red backgrounds of this 33 OPC set.


9) This card's grade should match Howe's jersey #.


10) 1 of 4 across all major grading companies in this grade or above.

Anyone get anything for x-mas to add to thier lists..........

I love the pics of the old cards. i got a box of the topps card chase this morning. It was mostly 87-88's bit there were a couple of cool cards.

Mike Schmidt card that changes poses (can't remeber what they were calles)

A couple of larger cards Nolan Ryan was the best one.

I am a big Mattingly fan & there was a topps mini mattingly in there that I did'nt have yet

Also a few puzzle pieces from the 80's

Nothing bog money but it was great to open up those packs again & bring back memories of when we were kids......


Anyone try one of those boxes yet.. Got this one at WalMart...



Happy Holidays.

cardbender

Frozencaribou, those are some awesome Hockey cards you own.

That '54 Topps Howe is my all-time favorite ice card.
Great stuff!

HoofHearted

Great lists here regardless of age! I can't begin to narrow down specific cards I'd have to select in a Top 10 list. I'd have to include things like:

1) The early '60s cards (about 3,000 of them) and inserts that my parents didn't throw out when I graduated and then left for 10 years to complete my USAF service and college.
2) My (JUST!) completed 1962 Topps Basic Set Registry cards.
3) The Kirby Puckett autographed ball and 8X10 photo my thoughtful wife gave me as gifts over the years.
4) The case of various years of unopened baseball card boxes I've accumulated since I started collecting again in '81.
5) My growing collection of first edition Zane Grey novels, two of which are baseball related. (I love the Westerns!)

Frozencaribou

Thanks, cardbender! I've been very lucky in the past few years gaining key cards for my collection. Glad to share.

Let's see more cards.

MBMiller25

This has been a cool thread. I am not a hockey guy myself, but FC, your hockey cards are really something to behold. Congrats on such nice cards.

Here are my top 10 cards in order:

1. I love this card, although the 48 Leaf is not my favorite Musial.



2. Classic Musial RC. Such a Basic card, but I love looking at it.



3. My favorite Musial card!



4. Like I said, I love this card.



5. This card is such a blazer, although I just got the bump, I still think this card should be in a PSA 8 holder.



6. A classic picture of Stan the Man!



7. My favorite card of Mr. Roberto Clemente



8. Currently the only football card I own. Best Ever!



9. Such a difficult card to find centered. Easily my favorite Regional issue of Stan Musial



10. Have to include a Redman in this list. Tough to decide between the 52 and 53, but in the end, I just prefer the look of the 53 Redman to the 52.

Frozencaribou

Matt,

I agree with you on the Clemente rookie. 8 all the way. And the 1956 Topps Clemente is brilliant! And the Stan the Man cards are all impressive. Wow, great cards.
