I've seen those (or similar things) before! They're like stickers, right?

No they are punch outs that can be put together to play a game. 1957 Swift Meats. I have the game board and all. It includes Hank Aaron and Frank Robinson ( Rookie)

I think most of those items end up getting destroyed. Somehow, my uncle (or maybe my father - I can't remember) got a hold of one and gave it to me. How they got one, I have no idea.

I remember hearing somewhere that after a while, most major sports leagues stopped burning them, and started giving the printed in advance clothing to relief organizations, to be sent to "3rd world countries" to help clothe the poor.

I understand there is a TREMENDOUS fan base for the FOUR TIME CHAMPION BUFFALO BILLS!!

Ohhhh, whoa. I must be thinking of something else. That's really neat.

Found this old pocket schedule in my grandparents attic about 30 years ago. A shame there were no Wagner cards with it.

Oh man, that is a great piece! Thanks for sharing.

Okay, a kite is definitely not something I would think of as a sports collectible. I wonder who had the idea to produce a Greg Maddux kite. Heh.


I always wondered what happens to the shirts/hats/etc of teams that don't win. How did you manage to get one of those?

They actually donate the shirts and stuff to poverty stricken countries.

So I only collect baseball items, but ended up with exhibit 1 from a show...Phi Slama Jama signed basketball??

   

We're Astros fans, but somehow I have a Judge bobblehead...oh and the 2017 WS Coke bottle and piece of the bullpen bench!

   

Only to be topped by a bottle of dirt from Tal's Hill when they removed it...still not sure why I bought that...

MLB authenticated dirt! :-p

That Phi Slama Jama ball is really cool.

I'm totally jelly of that Judge bobblehead, btw.

Gotta be worth a $1 in 20 years!

That Phi Slama Jama ball is really cool.

Thanks, Tristar gave out free auto tickets at their show a couple years back with the VIP package, of course had to buy Drexler and Olajuwon!

Comes with a Yankees fidget spinner as well, 20 years time no one will remember what they were.

Probably my Phil Rizzuto signed Meat Loaf album. He had a great story to go along with his IP auto which makes that unusual Yankee piece a little more special & personal. Also, in my display is probably my second most unusual piece ... a Yankee ukulele. I don't know why, but I got one !
