Best items/highlights of 2011 for you?

[BurlesonBlue]

Well, 2011 was the year I got into this hobby, and I'm pretty happy with a few finds in particular.

- Game Used Baseball from 9/8/2004 Mariners-Indians Game (Jeremy Reed's Major League Debut)
- Ryan Rowland-Smith Game Used Mariners Stars and Stripes Cap from 9/11/2010
- 2009 Justin Thomas Game Issued Mariners Jersey

I also want to thank jake33 for the numerous nameplates I was able to purchase from him!

I'm torn on my top two because not only are they my best of the year, but probably best ever.

1. Derrick Rose Memphis Tigers game worn jersey
2. Peyton Manning game worn, signed hat from the Titans/Colts game this year in Nashville

Now obviously a jersey usually trumps a hat, however with the story being written that I was featured in (and, yes, misquoted because the word "gosh" has NEVER come out of my mouth other than reading from the paper) - here's the link http://www.timesfreepress.com/news/2...laying-a-down/ - but the fact that I got it personally FROM Peyton makes it that much cooler to me.

And of course, a couple of my other "bests" from 2011

Steve McNair 2004 signed, game worn jersey
Derrick Mason signed, game worn 1998 Tennessee Oilers jersey with over 10 repairs and tons of hit marks etc. Used enough by a special teamer at the time that it very well could have been his jersey for the whole season.
