Most Prized Memorabilia

[scottanservitz]

As most of you guys probably already know, our collections keep growing and every so often we get to upgrade our collections. My new grail piece is this 1997 Curtis Martin game worn jersey to add to my other grail pieces. This one is just a bit more rare, and I really didn't think I would be able to get it, but once in awhile we get lucky. It is picture perfect in every respect and I am very proud to get it! I already posted on it, but hey, I like to see everyone's stuff over and over again. I actually go through all my auction mags just to see the goods again.

By the way, that Ichiro chase ball story is great! Love to hear about great buys on the Bay!

1) Handwritten letter from Hank Greenberg to my great-grandmother thanking her for baking cookies for him as a young player in Detroit.

2) 1966 Clint Jones game worn Michigan State football helmet.

3) 1979 Jay Vincent game worn Michigan State basketball jersey.

4) 1950's Dorne Dibble game worn Detroit Lions jersey.

I'd love to see a pic of that Clint Jones helmet.

My most prized pieces are my '96 game worn Bob Wickman Yankee pinstripe jersey and my game used Andy Brown (last goalie to play w/o a mask) goalie stick from his '71-'72 season in Ft Worth and Detroit.

I'd say my most prized piece is my 1937 Alameda Kono All-Stars jersey. This was a Japanese American All-Star team that toured Asia. Here is a link with pics for those interested:

I got this as a kid when a neighbor was cleaning out her garage. She said you can keep whatever you find and I lucked upon this one and one other Japanese American baseball jersey. It's seems to be a somewhat rare piece with lots of history. I'm just glad I never got rid of it.

I got this autograph back in 1980. It went missing for 10 years after my stepfather and mother moved. I finally found it a few years ago and got it matted and framed.

My most prized piece would have to be my 4 Jed Lowrie Gamers. I have atleast on jersey from every year has been a professional.

Mine might have to be my 1943-45 Army baseball program vintage signed by every player that played like the Dimaggio brothers (Joe and Dom), Mize, Coach Dickey, and Pee Wee Reese. I want to say a total of about 40 or so signatures. Dont see players going to war now a days, so I guess its unique. I tried cropping a picture about 10 times and continues to say its to big, so I said the hell with it.

I'd love to see scans of this, along with a list of all the names you could make out, if you wouldn't mind. Also, any history, if you have it.

I'm part of a SABR group documenting the service history of MLB players.

Perhaps this is from a Pacific game between service teams? Mize and Reese were in the Navy.
