What is your favorite game used item?

Since I'm a die-hard Saints fan, my favorite game used jersey would be my 1984 game used John Hill jersey, which I've photo-matched from an old Saints calendar. The only problem with it is the name-plate was removed back in the 80's, but it's got some serious use, stains and repairs. Btw, John Hill was the center for the Saints when Archie Manning played, but in '84 Richard Todd was the QB.

This is my favorite piece, my 2007 signed Ichiro gamer. Which I almost had to part with a couple of months ago, to pay mean old Uncle Sam!!! BUT I STILL HAVE IT!!!! Sold everything else but.

I'm glad the Forte jersey found a good home and it looks sweet on the mannequin. I used to have this same jersey and it was difficult to part with. What makes this hobby so much fun is parting with one cool item and then picking up something else that's great.

Mikey,

I'm interested in getting more history on this piece! E-mail me.........

This was my all time favorite baseball item, but, alas, I sold it. It's an 1896 full sized baseball bat handmade, inscribed and dated in Maine State Prison by a prisoner serving a life sentence. The bat has rings hand cut into the barrel and the original prison decal. After I bought it I showed it to director of the prison museum and she said it was the real deal and the prison had a woodworking shop for prisoners. The bat is near mint but the original suede carrying case is tattered.

Was just admiring this former bat of yours again. Did you ever figure out what kind of wood that is with all swirling? Doesn't look like oak, ash, or any modern bat wood. Not really a curly maple, or is it?

Handsome indeed.

I'm not sure this qualifies as "game used," but the favorite item in my collection is the locker name plate that Cal gave me after the last home game of the '88 season...It was really the only item I had the balls to ask him for, but he gladly complied. Some of the younger collectors will probably be surprised to see an actual nameplate devoid of holograms, multiple colors, etc.

I noticed that there is a similar Jim Palmer nameplate in the Baltimore display in the HOF.
