old coin collection

wish I could find that stupid 1800's half-dime my grandparents gave me

Let's see, I'm not really a collector of anything, but I have a few items I stumbled upon.

-Towel from 1986 PGA Master's
-Autographed copy of "Yaz" (autobiography)

My personal favorite is an autographed drawing of Captain Haddock from that cartoon TV show from Blake Schwartzenbach. Kind of random and silly but I always get a kick out of it.

Probably my 1971 Nova SS. It's cool.

Most Valuable - 1960ish Tops All Star Mickey Mantle card. I have no idea how much it's worth. But since I don't collect much, I assume it's the most. I also have one of the metal coins they used to throw in Cracker Jack boxes in the 60's. At some point I should get both of these appraised.

Coolest - First Edition Vinyl editions of Peal Jam's Ten, Smiths - Strangeways here we come, and Hatebreeds -"demo" (7"); That Autographed Bosstones CD.

Sentimental - Piece of charred paper from the WTC that floated right into my face on 9/11.

Tough question.

I think I'd have to go with my 1970 Topps Nolan Ryan card. It's his 3rd year card, so not even his most valuable, but I traded two Eric Davis 1985 Fleer rookies for it back in 1986, so the sentimental value of that trade is priceless for me. Somehow it survived my childhood in pretty good condition as well.

For sheer random coolness, I have a foul ball from an M's game that for some reason is autographed by the sackmaster, Deacon Jones.

My first condom.

Right before my grandfather died (literally 1 day before he died), he gave each of the grandkids a sack full of old coins that he had kept. They were randomly distributed among the grandkids and mine included two 2 dollar bills that my grandfather carried with him during his entire military service. Those are pretty sentimental to me.
