I'm sure I'm missing some, but this is a pretty good list of what I have.

I don't have a ton of stuff, but I have a signed Ken Griffey Jr jersey from the 1997 All star game, the game that he won MVP. I also have a white bengals signed game helmet with Burrow, Chase, and Higgins.

I have some signed cards and stuff I've acquired over the years, nothing really crazy, I guess my prized possession would be my signed Jim Thome Indians jersey from the world series in 1997. 97 was a good year for my signed stuff.

As the saying goes from the Memorabilia industry....

Most sports memorabilia is about "as real as ocean front property in Arizona”

Unless signed in front of you and you took a picture.

Most of mine come from work over the past 8 years

- 5 full sized football helmets (3 are split helmets from individual games)
- game used march madness basketball and a few March madness and NIT bench towels
- 3 commemorative footballs from a CFPNCG
- couple of conference championship rings
- custom braves baseball bat with my name
- roughly 25 Braves bobbleheads
- about 10 graded and numbered cards, including a 1/1

When I was about eight years old, I was just getting to be a huge LSU fan. My Uncle, who was in college, had gone to high school with a starter on the previous year's team. He knew him pretty well, so he took me to the guy's house to get his autograph. He was nice enough, and signed my souvenir LSU program, but Vietnam was going on and all he wanted to do was talk with my uncle about Vietnam, the draft, etc. My uncle had recently taken his draft physical and been medically disqualified for some reason and the guy was very interested in that. Even a little kid like me could clearly see he didn't want to go.

He didn't want to talk about football at all. I went away a little disappointed. But I got the autograph. I still have it around somewhere.

Dude how much do you have in Ohtani?

Whoa. Willing to sell?

Everything is for sale, but at this point in life the money wouldn't really mean anything to me. It's slated to stay in my safe deposit box and pass to one of my sons.

But if I was in a bind, sure. But it wouldn't be cheap. I was offered a considerable five-figures for it in 1992 by a Giants executive and turned it down. He badgered me for ten years and finally gave up.

Hey, you keep it and pass it on to your son. I’m on the hunt for a Ruth ball, but this one seems special to ya and even tho I’d offer 5 figures for it, i’d feel terrible to take it from you if you accepted. Seems to be better for it to stay in your family

It has a nice story to it. Much better than if it was purchased at auction.
