Top 5 unique pieces in your collection.

Just a curious question. What are your top 5 interesting pieces in your collection? Here are mine:

1. Very Rare Reach 3 finger fielder's glove. What makes this one so special is that it has a full web.

2. 1924 Women's Industrial League Baseball trophy. Very neat cup with unique designs at the top. Great history of early women's baseball.

3. Early sporting goods advertising piece. A Peerless Sporting Goods wooden wagon.

4. An early baseball bat signage. Lists the bat prices for the time period.

5. Old Spalding trophy with a pitcher topper. This prize was for the Carter Oil Commercial Champs of 1923 Tulsa.

How about a signed business card from the Phillies team doctor who treated Cal Ripken's broken nose at the 1996 All Star Game in Philadelphia?

Not in any particular order...

1) a construction contact signed by former Phillies Whiz Kid Granny Hamner and his wife to have their home built in Richmond, Va. circa 1957

2) a game used Richmond Braves hat - game used meaning I wore it to about a dozen games when I worked security for them briefly during the 2007 season

3) a 1977 LS Tom Underwood game used bat. Used before his mid-season trade to the Cardinals. I've never seen another legit Underwood bat for sale and this one is unique (to me) because I found it in an umbrella stand in an antique store.

4) a Ryan Minor autographed baseball.......who? any guesses as to the significance?

I have about 50 clippings from newspapers that Dick Stuart kept while he was with the Lincoln Chiefs - they detail his 66 home run year in 1956...he wrote on most of them...he had quite the ego.

I have a 1953 postcard of the Old Course at St. Andrews. On the reverse, the guy wrote about how they had gone to Carnoustie the prior day where he followed Ben Hogan as he was playing in the Open Championship, which he won in his only attempt and his only visit to Scotland.
