Last item
GREAT THREAD! The last item in my collection is not necessarily the most valuable except to have it defy many odds as to it happening.
Found this 1944-48 Lou Gehrig pro model bat in a barrel of bats at a flea market....took it in 1998 to a White Sox/Orioles game....talked my way past 3 security people because it is not usually allowed to bring a "bat" into the game.....made a huge sign asking Cal Ripken to sign "my bat".....and out of $16, 000 people attending the game that evening....this is the only item he signed...a lasting memory for sure. Several years later I saw him in person again and he remembered that bat!
