Thanks so much to @drlove for this thread idea:

Do you have any interesting memorabilia? One of a kind sort of items?

I am going to executive decision that this can be ISU or other.

One year while working for the football team in college, they replaced the letters on the side of the stadium that said “JACK TRICE STADIUM”. We found them lying next to a dumpster so not sure if we were supposed to take them or not, but we did. So I have a giant yellow T (my name starts with a T) sitting somewhere just waiting to be hung up someday when I have a man cave

Whether or not they were to be taken would have not stopped me for a second.

I have an autographed RUSH dvd signed by all 3 members of the band. What makes this kinda rare is the drummer rarely signs anything. Sadly, he has passed away.

A Pearl Jam bootleg CD that was recorded shortly after their debut album came out. It has early versions of many songs from later albums plus Yellow Ledbetter which only appeared as a single.

I also have the entire debut 1989 Upper Deck baseball set with Ken Griffey Jr as #1. My kids have been arguing for years on who will inherit that one.

I had an autographed game worn Seneca Wallace jersey. My grandpa was friends with Mike Woodley (who had coached my uncle in high school at Osage in the early 80's) who was on staff when Wallace was there, and got it for me for my high school graduation present.

One of my college roomates stole it.

Autographed Rolling Stones Record sleeve signed by Mick Jagger and Charlie Watts. Obtained outside their hotel in Des Moines where they were staying before their Ames concert. Also pictures (taken by my buddy) of them signing for me.

A Zombies promotional photo signed by all 5 members from their original US Label (Parrot). Only 4 are still living.

An original Beatles wig in original package.

Too bad your name isn't Jack.

Lol, forgot I had one of those too! My brother in law's mom worked at an office where the mom of a lineman worked, and they got one signed for me. Also, Chizik coin. No idea how I forgot to list that in my list of valuable possessions as well.

I have a lapel pin from the Delta Clipper-X. I was at the first test launch as a student.

Not a super big deal, but certainly obscure. Of course now SpaceX uses the same thing routinely, but I remember the OG resuable vertically landing rocket.

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.
