Would it make a difference if I said you could not open the book? Not to pooh pooh vintage books (which I love and have many of), but I'm looking more for pieces you would like to view for what they are rather than a source of baseball information. I hope that makes sense.

First piece was a no-brainer for me--my 1927 Yankees team-signed ball:
 Next, my Ruth ball:  Can't quite decide on the third item. It will be a Yankee Stadium piece--the real Yankee Stadium, not that monstrosity north of 161st Street. Either the opening day program  or the letter "M" from the YANKEE STADIUM sign that hung over Gate 2:

My first choice would be my 1926 Yankee Ball.
 Second item would be the ceiling padding from the home dugout from the old yankee Stadium.  And the third would be Chris Chambliss game used Yankee hat.  P.S. David love the Yankee Stadium M.

Wow, what a brutal question!
You guys are bringing out the heavy artillery on this one! Fantastic stuff and thank you for sharing it!
First, my 1933 Sport Kings store display poster...advertising, cards and the Babe all addressed in one piece.  Second, I'd HAVE to have a ticket - and the Opening Day 1939 Cardinals ticket with the Baseball Centennial logo is the best looking one I've ever seen.  And third, this Safe At Home lobbycard signed for me by my childhood sports heroes...autographs, movies and the M&M boys. Only problem with this is every time I see it I get jealous of that kid.

Hey Rick...
"And third, this Safe At Home lobbycard signed for me by my childhood sports heroes...autographs, movies and the M&M boys. Only problem with this is every time I see it I get jealous of that kid."
After reading all of your terrific stories surrounding your collection... I just assumed you were that kid!

Lou
I'm with Jimmy. Its Gehrig all the way.
First. My favorite piece in my collection.  Second. Has the additional benefits of involving Ruth. And, if I am allowed I can read the paper as well.  Third. Fits all my collecting interests. Gehrig, autographs, and off the beaten path. Plus there is just something really cool about it. Of course, I would fix the glass first.  My only other question would be if a set of cards would count as one item or not. If so, I would leave off the Midweek Pictorial and bring the 1934 Goudey autographed set I am working on.

I don't think I can pick my top 20 (much less than my top 3). My taste is constantly changing, and my area of focus just around goes in circles.
First it was autographs, then (in this order) pennants, bobbing heads, Hartlands, arcade games, pennants again, game-used uniforms, game-used bats, autographs again, early equipment, pennants again, and now early statues and figural pieces. Fickle, indecisive, obsessive and psychotic... I know! Since I'm limited to only 3 here, I suppose it's these... but subject to change on a daily basis. On another day, I would have to throw in at least one pennant! 3. Ty Cobb "Safe" Figural Trophy (only other one I've seen was in Halper) 2. Tony Perez' Home Flannel from his finest season (1970) (my favorite Player- obviously!) 1. Incredible Reds Metal Ticket Sign from Crosley Field. I believe that 3 of these survived, and this one might go to my grave. One of the few magical items that I remember seeing as a kid, and never anticipated owning one day... this is the centerpiece of my Reds collection.

Wow - you guys have some incredible stuff! Whatever would be in my top 3 would pale in comparison. Check back in with me on this question in 5 years or so.
