How about something a little different. Post a collectible (cards, etc.) which very few others have.
Lets stay away from the obvious stuff, like game used items or super limited numbered cards.
Heres some of mine:
Heres a mega sized jumbo (use the Longo card to see size difference) Topps card of Jeter. The company (not Topps) solicited some Hobby stores to blow up any Topps card they wanted. They also gave each store one free "blow up" of their choice. I sent in this DJ card and they sent back the mega sized version. Shortly after, Topps threatened to sue the company and the promotion was cancelled before it went public (I believe).
I think I got this one at the Hawaii Trade Confernece some years ago during an MLB presentation.
Obviously meant to be put on Hobby store windows to promote cards. There were several different players but I kept only DJ (I think there was an A Rod too).
Here is the front and back of a post card UD sent its "Diamond Dealers" to promote Yankee Legacy cards. Meant to be mailed out to Hobby store customers.
Heres a 2007 UD Babe Ruth Christmas card (jumbo) with greetings mailed out to its Diamond Dealers.
