When I was a kid my step-dad had a baseball signed by Babe Ruth. Unfortunately, a dog chewed it up, which got me in quite the pickle.

Toss up between these two. Got one from some crazy dude in a cave and the other in a snake pit. Use them as a coffee table and pimp juice cup.
Don't tell anyone though, the Nazi's keep coming after me sacred religious artifacts. Silly Nazis.

Pimp cup

Coffee table

I've got a pretty good collection of old woodworking hand tools and a few older machine tools. The oldest being a 1927 Southbend metal lathe I restored. I've been picking up a few manual focus camera lenses. Nothing really expensive though. What's your best lens find? I bought an Olympus 50/1.4 lens from a lady at an antique store who told me she had come across German lenses at an estate sale, but she didn't buy them.

I put my memorabilia collection in a 10'x5' storage unit almost ten years ago. I constantly struggle to decide what to do with it. I kind of lost control back when eBay was big. I wish I focused the collection on a specific aspect of sports. Instead, it ranges from Hundreds of college helmets (many were custom made) to graded cards that date all the way back to 1887. To junk like cases of Shaq dunk toys and... 1000s of LSU posters and prints.

Just going to storage at this point causes me anxiety. The last time I dug into it was to sell some tobacco cards to fund my first photography setup. Sold a Walter Johnson, two christy Matthewsons, and a framed/matted collage of signed Bears HOFers. (Its been so long, I can't even find the CD that has all the pics of the collection) But, I still enjoy the irony that I went from collecting cards, to taking pictures that are now used to produce trading cards.

Lionel "Blue Comet" from the 30's in like new original condition, all boxed. The car insides are well detailed, complete with toilets. Set was almost $100 in the middle of the depression. These are standard gauge which is much bigger than the Lionel O gauge most people are used to. The locomotive is a foot and a half long.

Most valuable? Drew Brees Bowman Chrome auto rookie card that graded at 9. Sells at $2,000 sometimes.

My favorite it a UGA authentic football helmet signed by Gurley with his rushing stats from college.

I had quite a few skateboards that were pretty valuable. Sold most of them about 7 years ago.
