Cool toilet paper
I keed, I keed. Where did you get those?
Purchased some Metrodome roof, cut it up and created Metrodome Roof Coasters with some baseball card screw-down cases.
Several non-card items stand out for me. Sorry, I failed to keep it to one item.
Already a diehard Twins fan at the age of 8, I was looking at Al Newman's baseball card and realized he had the same birthday as I do.
So I wrote him a letter informing him of that fact, didn't actually ask for anything, just wrote a note.
A few weeks later, out of the blue, this came in the mail, which, as an 8 year old, was pretty epic.
I have an interest in franchise relocation, and I love ballparks.
So maybe it's the Sick's Stadium photo or the drawing of the concept stadium, but I love the old school artwork and the irony in this "phantom" 1970 Seattle Pilots ticket brochure.
I have no strong interest in the Pilots/Brewers/Mariners, but this is absolutely one of my favorites.
Lastly, and continuing with a ballpark theme...the Metrodome was a really lousy baseball facility.
But, it was the MLB park I grew up going to as it was 20 minutes from where my grandparents live.
So, I tried to gather as many game/stadium-used Metrodome "artifacts" as possible after its closure, and have assembled the "Metrodome Man Cave."
"There's nothing better for that corner space than a shiny giant Metrodome trash can that will fit perfectly," I told my wife.
Some of the stuff was more expensive than I really would've liked, but the actual menu board magnets themselves went for $6 at a food service equipment auction.
I have yet to actually sell any hot dogs with my Hormel hot dog vendor caddy.
Purchased some Metrodome roof, cut it up and created Metrodome Roof Coasters with some baseball card screw-down cases.
For me it's probably this 1934 Tour of Japan signed baseball. Was signed in the Hawaii stop on the tour and is signed by Ruth, Gehrig and the rest of the team.
