An 1898 silver dollar my Grandmother gave me. She said this is the year I was born.

I have an LSU room with a lot of memorabilia in it. I have all 6 baseball national championship advocate posters, '91 signed by Rick Greene, '93 signed by Brett Laxton, '96 signed by Warren Morris, '97 signed by Doug Thompson, 2000 signed by Brad Cresse, and '09 signed by Louis Coleman. And they are matted and framed identically. Not sure what they would be worth.

I also have around 40 or 45 8" x 10" pictures of different LSU football players, and some baseball players, in game action and they are all autographed.

And I found an old poster I had from the 80s that had Alan Risher throwing a pass and a superimposed image of Eric Martin as he was going to catch the pass. Funny thing, the guy who knew Risher went to lunch with him one day to get him to sign it for me. Risher said he had never seen that picture before and that he was a senior when Eric was a freshmen and that he never completed a pass to Martin a game. And pointed out that Martin was wearing a practice jersey in the pic, not a game jersey.

I got a rare Charizard card autographed by the artist the week before COVID took down the Earth. Been at PSA for the past 2 years tho

There's maybe 3 or 4 copies of this card signed in existence

I have the highest AFA graded Greatest American Hero action figure two pack by Mego. It is super rare. I have been offered $20,000 for it. I realistically think the right collector will come along and give me $50 K for it.

My SIL (no pics) was in the FBI performing surveillance in a restaurant in Indy. My wife (also no pics) is a HUGE fan of Peyton Manning and he happened to walk in to the place.

My SIL broke surveillance to ask Peyton for his autograph (personalized for my wife) and then left her team in the place...my wife got it for her next birthday.

The story of how we got it is what makes it valuable to us.

Have a Monday Night Raw ticket signed by Dwayne Johnson from 2000. Still in pretty good shape. I ended up digging it out like 10 years ago in an old junk drawer that survived the trip from my old apartment to my house

I also have a football signed by Billy canon from when he was signing everybody’s autograph on Florida weekend 2007. Probably not valuable though

A signed basketball by the 1989-90 LSU basketball team that includes Shaq, Chris Jackson, etc.

My parrain's father in law was good friends with Dale Brown. He bbq'd for the team and had them over to swim and hang out. Something that wasn't supposed to be spoken about at the time because it would have been an NCAA violation.

I have one with the chrysanthemum still on it- belonged to my wife’s granddad. No idea what it’s worth because we’ll never get rid of it, but imagine it’s worth something to a collector. My son will inherit it.

I have a boatload of PSA graded cards - unfortunately since they started using Gemamint a 10 is nearly unreachable - especially for older cards. They are mostly Topps Tiffany from the mid 80s where there were only 5k sets produced though. The most valuable one is probably a PSA 9 Barry Bonds 1986 Topps Traded Tiffany. I guess it could be worth a couple grand - no idea.

Also have a TT Roger Clemons PSA 9 that might be a thousand. Again no idea - it what's ever someone would pay for them.

I have a bunch of autographed stuff by Roy Williams, a powder blue autographed George Brett jersey, Gale Sayers autographed photo, Priest Holmes autographed football. The Brett jersey and the Roy stuff is worth a little coin - Holmes and Sayers I don't have any idea.

The most valuable antique I have is my grandfather's 1946 Browning Auto 5 - it's priceless to me. Prob worth a couple grand if I was to put it up for sale.

How is this possible? I submitted a bunch of cards earlier this year and got them all back within 6 weeks.

Have every Sports Illustrated with an LSU athlete on cover signed by the featured athlete + the 1958 SI preseason football issue signned by Dietzel, Warren Rabb, Kinchen and Cannon.


That’s a nice setup. Simple, but nicely presented. I collect way too much sports memorabilia. So much of it sits in boxes. I buy and sell, probably never turning a profit. Just slowly rotating through shite that I own

I have a Garand, never issued post-war one though so it is absolutely pristine.


My great grandfather was CG of Ft. Riley in WW2. Some boxer named Joe Louis gave him a signed photo.










I've got family militaria going back to Indian Wars and WW1 too. A copy of the published memoir on Gen. Pershing, personnaly signed by Pershing to my great-great-grandfather and a flag from the 2ID that might be WW1 era too.

Did you buy this in the French Quarter? I was eyeing a memorabilia piece that was signed by everyone, I just couldn’t fork up the money at the time.
