Friday OT #1 - Whatcha Got

[RING4CY]

I have a game ball from the Chargers-Vikings game where Adrian Peterson set the single game rushing record with 296 yards.

Just so happens that game was 15 years ago today.

Should probably preface this from saying I was in like 4th grade at the time, but I caught a pair of batting gloves from Jeff Francoeur at Royals spring training one of the years he was with the Royals. I also got him to autograph them the next year, and that's probably the most unique thing I have. I also have a ton of Royals autographed baseballs, including a good amount from the 14-15 WS years.

ISU wise, I have autographed photos from Campbell and Purdy; and then Lazard, Butler, Montgomery and Nwangwu autographed rookie cards in their ISU uniforms.

I have a signed baseball of Joel Zumaya. My seat # was called at Tigers game for a signed Ivan Rodriguez ball. I excitedly walked to guest services to pick up the prize and to my surprise, they didn't have one signed by Ivan. They offered me the Zumaya one. Emails and calls to the Tigers offices went unanswered. Damn them!

This will get a lot of hate… But.. I have a Niang jersey signed by former POTUS Donald Trump while he was here during the Iowa/Iowa State game.

I don’t display it… but I’ll still keep it around for presidential memorabilia.

The ol' bait and switch, eh?

President Niang, has a nice ring to it...

So the thread a few weeks back where people were ripping on Dave Matthews is what made me suggest this topic.
About 12 years ago, the DMB came to Denver for the now Mile High Music Festival. I happen to win some tickets to the show. I think I saw DMB, My Morning Jacket, Drive by Truckers, and Jimmy Cliff at one stage.
Anyway, along with the tickets came an autographed Colorado Rockies jersey by the DMB. I've never been the biggest DM fan (he is fine), but i thought it would be worth getting framed when the basement gets finished.

Sadly he’s not old enough per the Constitution for a while and given who has been running lately you seem to have to be past Social Security age

1. 2000 Women's bball - every player and Fennelly's signatures on the "program" for the first practice at Hilton after a football game.

2. 2000 Men's bball - every player, Eustachy's, and Pete Taylor's signatures on the program.

I had no idea what a great season that was going to be for both teams.

3. SAGBRAI t-shirt.

I've got a Harlem Globetrotters basketball signed by Curly Neal, Geese Ausbie and Sweet Lou Dunbar

 

[4cy16]

I've got a baseball autographed by Barry Bonds from the early 90s before he roided up.

Took my son to the Cap City games in summer 2016 and he's got a basketball signed by most of the team from Monte's last year.

Was the autograph print smaller than his roided print.? Do steroids make your handwriting bigger also?
That's the kind of stuff that keep me up at night.
Also, in the U.S. we play Uno, in Mexico do they play, One?
Do afghan people actually ware afghans?

I met Mark "Mad Dog" Madsen at a wedding. He wrote me a personalized note, took a picture with me, and showed me his awesome dance moves on the dance floor.

I’m not much for memorabilia but I got this as a gift awhile back. The story is a guy got it from his dad who went to Luther way back in the day.

 

[dawgpound]

I got to meet the Nature Boy a few years back and got a photo and autograph with him. Dude was awesome, and told incredible stories

I'm a big golf fan with various favorite players on the Tour (Tiger, Willy Z, Morikawa, Rory) and recently won this Twitter contest featuring Morikawa. Will be displaying them somewhere, whether in my office at work or in my spare room at home.

Edit: I like rare pairs of shoes including golf shoes. These were ADIDAS Limited Edition Master's shoes this year. I'll probably display them next to my Route 66 Nike PGA Championship Air Max 90's I got my hands on this year.

Got a double whammy, oil-memorabilia meets classic Disney memorabilia.

My dad had a D-X filling station in small town Iowa in 1942 when D-X Oil Company came out with an advertising campaign featuring Disney's Dumbo. There were D-X Dumbo pins, comic books and coloring books, have found all of those on eBay. What I have never seen anywhere is the advertising posters that was supposed to hang in the windows of the station. My dad thought they were really cool so rolled them up and saved them. They are about 18x22 and silk screened onto cheap advertising grade canvas. As a kid they hung on my bedroom walls after I found them rolled up in an old steamer trunk in the attic. Now they are framed and more protected. Since these were throwaways they might be one of a kind.

Fixed for accuracy

I have a frosted glass window pane of I-State: signed by Paul Rhoads and many from the team, think maybe one of his last years there.

Being from Cincinnati, I grew up a huge Reds and Pete Rose fan. I have an autographed jersey framed, along with his Topps 1964 rookie card and a picture of him and me in the same frame

Yeah....sure.

I have 2 (cardinal and gold) Cyclone flags that flew over the back row of upper deck in the 80s. They are huge. Somehow ended up in my car one summer day after my shift working at the stadium. A great job BTW. Great!
