What's the centerpiece of your collection?

Mike,
Not to go unnoticed the Mantle and Jeter Gamers are just fantastic! As are all the other pieces so far.
Jimmy I must disagree about your centerpiece! You know I love Gehrig but hands down the autograph is 10X better than the picture !!! It ranks right up there with David As! Ruth Ball on the other post. Im surprised David hasnt put up a center piece item! Oh I guess he is to busy with his new business!

Hey Al. You must have missed my post on the first page. I chose my Gehrig Telegram as the centerpiece of my Memorabilia and my Gehrig Signed Post card 'To Jimmy' as my Autograph centerpiece. I mentioned that I needed some time to go through my photo collection to choose my centerpiece as that was by far my toughest choice!

OK Al. How about you. What Pin is your Centerpiece? Can't wait to see it.

"Busy" doesn't half describe it! I'm already looking to buy a bigger apartment, a Porsche, and a Gehrig game-worn home jersey.

But, here you go. It's not the most valuable piece, or the rarest, but it means the most to me. It was given to me in 1966 by the kindest woman I have ever known. It is one piece I would never part with.

David,
Very nice piece. And Jimmy I stand corrected!! I will have to give that alot of thought Jimmy about the pin. Might have to be a few!

Brock here is the close ups you wanted

Here is my center piece. I know its more than 1 but they are a group. 5 poster boards possibly made for the 50th ann. of the national league in 1926. The photos are from varies Old Judge sets. Robert from REA thinks there's 10 teams total, I have 5. I'm upset because I have yet to come across any other ones and no one has info where to find them.

Close-up of Munson from 1977 world series. Matches games 2 and 6 but not game 1.

Nice items, fellows!

My collection of memorabilia is very modest but I do have a few personal favorites:


1920s PC Back Exhibit original art for Sammy Bohne card. I've never seen another piece of original art from the set:



Original art from a 1940s Lucille Ball Exhibit card:



1921 Exhibit machine header of Jack Dempsey:



Max Baer signed inscribed photo. Not only the nicest vintage signature I have but also signed during his reign as heavyweight champ:
