My dad collected cards and some memorabilia when he was a kid, but most of it got thrown away shortly after he moved out of the house. That's something he still talks about to this day, mostly because his stuff was on a small shelf in the corner of a finished basement that was never used for anything else before or afterwards.
Anyway, one of the few things that survived was a Mickey Mantle Day program from 1965 that he had signed by Dizzy Dean and a few other announcers. Beautiful signature on it.

Another with 13 players who were with the Pittsburgh Pirates during the regular season, but never played a game. There's also one about 27 baseball families, as well as a day-by-day look at the worst team in Pittsburgh Pirates history.
