One of a kind or Interesting Items in players career
Not sure if we have ever had a post like this but i was wondering what interesting items or one of kind items you have from a players career.
I collect nick Swisher items and mine is the lineup card from his pitching debute for the yankees in early 2009 season. I believe this is a one of kind item as i doubt he will pitch again. Its a great item and thanks to the forum member for it.

How about the homeplate umpires' lineup cards from 05/30/82, the FIRST game of Cal Ripken Jr.'s legendary streak? Interesting to note that future Hall of Fame manager Bobby Cox, used a lineup card from 1980:

or how about a signed business card from the Doctor who treated Cal Ripken Jr.'s broken nose (courtesy of teammate Roberto Hernandez) @ the 1996 All Star Game?

or the commemorative jersey gifted to Cal by the Orioles to recognize his 400th career Home Run in 1999?
I'll stop and let the others chime in!

Re: One of a kind or Interesting Items in players career
1995 Alex Rodriguez American League Signed Baseball to a Doctor with the Baltimore Orioles who treated Arod while in Baltimore.
Signed, "Doc, Thanks 4 Everything. Save my Lockers 95."
Arod underlined the "s" in lockers to emphasize to save him more than one.
Won it on ebay for $85 from a GUU member. Consider it a steal for that price.Regards, Tony

Not THAT unusual (and I have no pics) but how 'bout a Get Well Soon signed baseball personalized to me from Cubs coach Matt Sinatro after my 2007 kidney transplant.

Just wanted to resurrect this thread to show this wire/laser photo I recently acquired that depicts Cal shortly after his "nasal bone" was broken prior to the 1996 AS Game (the Phillies team doctor is nearby!)

For anyone who remembers former Phillies Whiz Kid Granny Hamner - I have a contract signed by him and his wife to have their house built here in Richmond, Va.

I have the actual ball Early Wynn pitched for his 2,000th strikeout. Does that count?
