Now I am going to leave this kind of open to your own collection, or your family's collection. But this is simple. What are some of your favorite sports collectibles, from signed, or un-signed, jerseys, pictures, or some important pieces for you in sports history? And after that, what are some that you would love to buy, if you could afford it?
There are quite a few in my family that I truly enjoy. My Blackhawks jersey (unsigned) that I wear is probably my most prized possession as it stands right now. I love it, and show it off as much as I can. Once I get another jersey, my current one is getting signed and framed, or vice versa, not sure. But it is one of those things that is just awesome to know you have an official jersey, with your favorite player's name on the back.
Elsewhere, my grandpa (RIP) had gotten a shitload of stuff over the years, from signed bats, balls, pictures, almost any sporting thing you could think of. He has a picture with Frank Thomas, and got an autographed bat from him. I wish I could get that, as Frank was one of my favorite players growing up. But one of the things that really would catch my eye when I would go my grandparent's house, was he had two bricks from Old Comiskey Park. Those right there are just awesome, and would be a fantastic if I had them as my own. They may just be bricks to some, but they are historic bricks.
Now, what would I like to have from an outside source. There is this shop at the mall by me with all sorts of collectible stuff. Some of the stuff there is just jaw dropping as a sports fan. Signed baseballs, pictures, jerseys. Of course, a bunch of it is expensive as fuck, which is why it is fun to say if you could afford what you want, what you would get. So like I said, tons of shit there. But three things stand out most for me to have. There is a signed Ruth and Gehrig plaque, which is very big, for I don't know how much. I hate the Yankees, but it is Ruth and Gehrig. That is a great item to own. Another would be either a signed Walter Payton jersey, or one of the plaques of him. Again, expensive as fuck, but definitely a great buy. Lastly, there is actually a cheap item, but it is for nostalgia purposes and I think I need to buy this as soon as possible. It is a frame with all four of the old stadiums in Chicago. Old Chicago Stadium, Old Comiskey, Wrigley, and Soldier Field.
Those are the top three I would buy, but seriously, in that shop, you can't really go wrong with anything you could afford to purchase. So what are some of your favorite sports memorabilia? What would you love to buy some time in the future?
