Re: The most "odd" or unusual game used item you have in your collection
Okay, so not game used, but a fav of mine.
A "Name The Team" contest display (with ballots) from 1976 after Toronto won an expansion American League team. Probably one of the "first" Blue Jays souvenirs!

No game used, but I have a Johnny Bench signed Feeney ball to Redd Fox. He signed it, "To Redd Fox with Great Respect....Johnny Bench"
It's quite a conversation piece.

Almost forgot...Redd's stage surname was taken from Jimmie.

Not Game Used as well, but people may remember that at the 1996 All Star Game in Philadelphia, the White Sox's Roberto Hernandez accidently broke Cal Ripken Jr.'s nose after the A.L. team photo was taken....Cal was treated by the Phillies team doctor and I had sign him a sign his business card with an inscription shortly afterwards:

Re: The most "odd" or unusual game used item you have in your collection
Attached is a photo of my NFL football stamping die from the Wilson factory in Ada, OH, circa the late 1970s-1980s. Next to the die is a screen shot from a 1988 newscast showing one of these in action (the raw steel ones have near as I can tell been replaced by stainless). Couple of broken welds in the crossmembers, but still solid as ever.
While not game used per se, it had a hand in making likely thousands of game used balls over the years, and (I think) looks apropos next to all my NFL game balls.
