What would be the greatest memorabilia item(s) ever

hive17 · Jan 7, 2010

Assuming it isn't already in the H0F and you had Danny Ocean skills for obtaining something if it came to that; what would be the greatest One-of-a-Kind, SUPER 1/1 piece/set of baseball memorabilia you can think of. I have my opinion, but I want to see if anyone has the same idea or trumps it.

A baseball used in the first professional baseball game ever played.

The babe ruth "called shot" bat. Which i think is in Cooperstown.

Or the glove that Mays used to make "the catch"

The original contract came up on auction maybe last year or 2008..

OK, my idea was the Name Plate collection from the Louisville Slugger factory. I don't know how many of you have ever taken the tour, but those branding nameplates are the most amazing thing I've ever seen.

Interesting, but I'd rather have the three balls Babe hit in/out of Forbes Field to end his career. If I correctly recall, he was the first to mash one out of Forbes even though he was nothing like his former self, he went out in a blaze of glory.

Cap Ansons first hit bat

i can not get over that with all the righteous smart people on our board that no one came up with the 1 item that HANDS DOWN would fetch more then any ruth, cobb, gehrig , any pre war or post war player item ever. It's been talked about many times, and no one knows what happened to it , the 1 item that i along with many collectors feel would be the most saught after and highest selling item that if it ever was found and came up for auction would be....

The ball that was hit and named " THE SHOT HEARD ROUND THE WORLD"

Oct. 1951 Polo Grounds. Bobby Thompsons' HR off of Ralph Branca. That ball would break any record for any memorabilia item. The highest selling peice of memorabilia so far has been Mac's 70th followed by the Wagner T206. But the Thompson/Branca ball would beat both of them.
