What is the best Dale Earnhardt Sr. Piece of memorabilia?

What is the best Dale Earnhardt Sr. Piece of memorabilia out there and I'm looking for something actually accessible to collect. I'm sure there are cars and other one of a kind museum type collectables but I'm interested in your thoughts on something that comes up for sale at least once every 2-3 years.

autos are in demand but kinda common. Cars are museum stuff as u said.

Tickets...common to some degree...maybe not 1st win type stuff.

Race tires are great but out there.

Foe something out of the ordinary I would get a race worn drivers suit....from a championship year/race winner even better.

I am not sure if it's a 1993, might be 1994. If you follow the 2010 Five Star link you will see that this was a redemption. It does not list the year for the helmet..
I would contact Press Pass and talk to them about it. Then contact the seller and work down the price since it is not a championship helmet.

If the helmet is too much I would go for a 1998 Daytona signed ticket.

Thank you all for the suggestions. I went for 3 great Earnhardt items and got I feel great examples of each. Here they are and a special thank you to Val for this example of his perfect rookie:




Then the best double auto card I know of Dale:



And of course the big purchase to finish things off:

Just absolutely awesome.

I have seen nice lithos and never that one.

What does something like that cost?

The 1992 Traks card (Petty & Earnhardt) is a very sweet card and very undervalued.

Now the NASCAR 50th Anniversary- NASCAR's 50 Greatest Drivers Lithograph is awesome. That's one I don't have.

jay0791 - They can go from a few Thousand to 10K.


About the NASCAR's 50 Greatest Drivers:
In 1998, as part of its 50th anniversary celebration, NASCAR gathered a panel to select "The 50 Greatest NASCAR Drivers of All Time." It was inspired in part by the NBA's decision to select the 50 Greatest Players in NBA History on its 50th anniversary in 1996. An independent group of 51 individuals representing various NASCAR roles were asked to give their objective and educated opinions on who the 50 greatest drivers in NASCAR history were.

The living members of this group were honored on February 15, 1998 during pre-race festivities for the 1998 Daytona 500 at Daytona International Speedway.

I don't have it right in front of me but I would say its in the about 24" x 36" neighborhood. It is fairly decent sized.
