Following the lead from the card side, what is your favorite looking memorabilia piece you own (or owned)? It does not have to be the most valuable, just the most aesthetically looking piece. Here are a few of mine:

BIG & small
The first piece I bought because I liked the way it looked framed. Just thought the framer did a nice job with the fabric on the mat and inset gold edging. http://i488.photobucket.com/albums/r...psjmazoxnk.jpg I also enjoy buying items, then framing myself with an inexpensive frame. I found this Lajoie supplement and paired it with a vintage looking frame. http://i488.photobucket.com/albums/r...pslnsmwx6j.jpg These next two small items are some of my favorite pieces in my collection. I had been looking for a PM1 for a while and was fortunate to have acquired the seldom-seen Wagner. The Lajoie is a scorer from 1912. http://i488.photobucket.com/albums/r...pscwokxmrf.jpghttp://i488.photobucket.com/albums/r...psuu7jm6fl.jpg |
I loved this Koufax photo when I saw it, and I loved it even more when it became mine. Here he is shortly after signing his first professional contract:

Hello- I rarely share my collection. This is a great opportunity to show two of my favorites. I'll be having them restored lightly. I enjoy the vintage patina.

What a great thread. Every one is gorgeous, but I'm partial to Bob's Tuxedo Tobacco piece. I used to have a replica in my old office, and unfortunately left it there when I vacated. Maybe someday I'll find a real one.

It's only because Wagner items are so expensive. You still have the best Lajoie collection hands down. |

Wow, there really have been some awesome items posted in this thread so far. Congrats to all of those who have posted.
For my collection, this game ball from Boston's LHP HB Dutch Leonard's no-hitter on August 30, 1916 at Fenway has to rank at the top in terms of visual appeal. I have posted it on net54 before, but thought it would be a nice addition to this thread. This was only the 2nd no-hitter ever pitched at historic Fenway Park. Two months earlier teammate George "Rube Foster" recorded the first no-hitter on June 16th. This ball was gifted by Boston's Chick Shorten to a family that resided in upstate NY. The ball provides its own provenance by stating on the side panel: "Ball given by Shorten". Leonard was a polarizing figure, but pitched two no-hitters and is credited with the lowest single season ERA- 0.96 (yikes!) ever posted in the modern era in 1915. One of his pitches in his arsenal was the spitball and it definitely appears that he may have loaded up this orb upon close inspection. The family kept the ball for more than 90 years in their attic until it surfaced a few years ago for the first time in the hobby, which is when I was thrilled to add it to my advanced no-hitter collection. The photos are of the no-hit battery of Dutch Leonard and Bill Carrigan. The photo of Dutch Leonard dates is circa 1916 and the Carrigan snapper originates from his own personal collection, but is undated. |

I've always loved this photo of Lefty Gomez warming up before opening day 1935, fresh off his Triple Crown:

I'm a big fan of various assortments/collages of items that make for great eye candy.
There is nothing overwhelming about any one item in this display, but I recently picked up a nice vintage display case (garbage, side of the road), and filled it with some of my ephemera. Not my best looking items, per se, but I like the whole look. https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-u...o/IMG_0018.JPG |

Best one I could find in short order. It's a photo from a later career AS game. Just an aesthetically pleasing shot (at least to me :D).

This is one of the best threads I've seen in a long time! Kevin, that Civil war piece is very neat. I've seen similar scenes on coins but never on a drinking cup.
Here are my favorites. BTW...if anyone knows how to resize these photos so they are the same size, please let me know. These pictures do not do it justice. |
