Not included: houses, daily driver vehicles, boats, wedding rings, etc.

From the worthless autographs thread, I have a 1/1000 Authors Preferred Text signed copy of Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman.

An EX condition M1 Garand I inherited from my Grandfather that he got from his Army captain who shipped home crates of surplus weapons after the war.

I collected coins as a kid. Haven't even looked at it in years, but I imagine it's worth in the low five figures. I have a lot of silver dollars and a few gold pieces.

My wife inherited a platinum TIffany ring and pendant from her great grandmother. No idea how much it's worth. TIffany's wants $5k just to look it up in their archives.

Probably my autographed Tyrann Mathieu LSU jersey. It’s the alt jerseys that they wore against Auburn in 2011.

I own (my wife bought it so we own it) the first ever fishing tournament trophy issued in the United States.

I am not sure. I will have to contact my buddy antiquetiger, he is an expert in the field.

I have a coin collection that came from my mom's side of the family. It has several 1925 Stone Mountain memorial half dollars, a handful of New Orleans mint marked Morgan dollars, and 1861 half penny, and a Confederate $5 bill. Have never had any graded.

I also have an Arisaka Model 99 Rifle manufactured between June and December 1942 with a Type 30 bayonet. When my dad was in high school, he was on the ROTC rifle team, and a neighbor of his that brought the rifle back from WW2 gifted it to him. Sadly it is a surrendered rifle, as the chrysanthemum has been filed off of it.

I have the autographs of all twelve men who have thus far walked on the Moon. I also have six of the seven original Mercury astronauts (missing Grissom).

As far as sports goes, it would have to be my Hank Aaron baseball.

An autographed pic of me and the Intimidator, a signed Sam Bass, and one of his die-cast race cars from the Coca Cola 600 still in the box also signed. I also have two images from newspaper advertisements Chevrolet was planning to run after a victory, also autographed. Supposedly there were only three or four of each of the adv copy, he signed and kept one of each and passed the others out amongst people there. My parents had been working for him at the time and my mother happened to be there and he handed them to her. Probably not much in value really, but still cool to have.

From my old man-

A Nambu pistol from the Battle of Okinawa?

I’ve got lots of collector grade US Coins.

An autographed football from Billy Cannon to me.

Several first edition Steinbecks.

A brick from Kirby Smith that smells like College Station.

Most valuable is probably a Salvador Dali signed serigraph I have.

Most prized is a Roy Tabora original. ( artist’s website for those unfamiliar with his work)

I have an autographed baseball from the '69 Cubs. Think there's four or five Hall of famers on it. Think it's about fading away though I need to figure out what to do to save it.. Suggestions?
