I've got a basketball signed by John Calipari. No telling how much it will be worth when he retires. ka-ching!
I have a signed "Pete Rose - Hit King - 4256" baseball I won at a golf outing.
Thinking about passing it down to my kids so they can sell it if they ever need a large coffee from McDonald's.

Framed Final Four ticket stubs flanking SI covers commemorating each of the 4 national championships that we've won in my lifetime.
my back to back little league and pony league championship trophies. we were kind of local legends on the diamond.
Piece of paper signed by Larry Bird at the Children's Charity Classic at Greenbrier GC circa 1986.
I got this Honus Wagner card that my grandfather gave me. Not sure it's worth anything, but it does have sentimental value
Odd they called them Champ, as those dirty loser RedSawx didn't win **** for a 100 years.I've got a pack of NIB-quality Ted Williams rubbers, c 1952.
Maybe that's why they kept reproducing crap results.
O.J. Simpson Topps rookie card and a baseball signed by Reds at spring training in1966. Has 2 HOFers Johnny Bench and Tony Perez.
i sold a signed Tubby Smith basketball at a yard sale.
It was actually my grandfather's retirement present. Retired right after Affirmed won the triple crown. It's a lithograph of Steve Cauthen sitting on him by a DRF artist and is signed by all of the top jockeys at the time.
An Eric Davis rookie card and a 2012 UK Blue Louisville slugger bat signed by Coach Cal and hopefully the rest of the team eventually.
Wait. So you don't own that lithograph. Your grandfather owns it. So technically you can't claim it, Glen.
My Daryl Strawberry card collection.
Todd Zeile and Dwight Smith Upperdeck RC

The only card my mom ever let me buy (with her money) outside of a pack. She about slapped me when I traded it. Made the other kid trade back.
Not really memorabilia per se.
Autographed John Wall Sports Illustrated.
Also have a UK ceramic file signed by some of the 2009-2010 team.
Wall, Bledsoe, Cousins, Patterson, Miller....and Krebs.
Both were gifts from my wife. She had a former student that lived in the lodge.

Had a Muhammad Ali autographed book about his religion. He was signing them in the back of a trailer at the old Bashford Manor Mall parking lot in Louisville back in 1986 I believe. I sold it a few years ago. That was probably the most unique item I had.
I have a bunch of other autographed items. My favorite is probably a basketball signed by Anthony Davis, Nerlens Noel, and Darius Miller. Would love to get a bunch more names on it.

All kinds of UK stuff. Going to turn my bonus room into sports room when my kids leave the nest.
Started my son with a couple of signed balls. He has one of this years team. Also for him a signed rookie card of Booker. Got a good pic of him and Fox together that I am having framed and will hang up.

Clemente and Aaron rookies. Mantle 3rd year. All in good to very god shape. Had a chance to buy a 52 topps mantle about 40 years ago. The eve before I went to purchase it, it was stolen from the vendor. Still mad about that. Got a superman and batman 2. Not really sports but I really like them.
Yeah...another questionable take by Glenn.
Got a Farah Fawcett poster signed by Rick pitino.
Tough question. Me and my father have an extensive collection of Kentucky wildcats, St. Louis cardinals, and political memorabilia.
My favorite prieces are a Kentucky guitar signed by Prince, Cal, Wall, Miller, cousins and I think some others. I was just going to litter it wth different eras and put it on a spin base inside of a glass cabinet. Also my authentic 7 foot final four '12 banner that was hung on the poles inside the arena. Great and unique piece was lucky to get it (won't say how). team signed and sweet.
We've got original game worn Sam Bowie shoes, Sky walker, Ford, Miller, Terrence Jones, Padgett (given by Padgett to us) and more.
Game used jerseys of delk (96 cat scratch) Travis ford (apex given by Joe B Hall) Darius Miller (2011) Meeks. 2 mark popes, Sam Bowie warmup, liggins........
Adolfo Rupp autos. Tons of Pitino, cal, players, etc. I have a lot of Anthony Davis autographs and team signed jerseys (not game used) from title teams and other players. Too much to be honest. Graphing is a hobby of ours.
Most expensive? Another tough one. We own Elvis tickets of the last concert in excellent condition. Really expensive pieces. Presidential autographs. Favorite probably the 12x16 of Carter, Reagan, Clinton, and both bushes. Probably worth a good bit. A Reagan pen he signed a bill with. A few older ones like Jackson etc. we've got some great Hollywood pieces of older actors that are tough. Just hard to say. Some of my Griffey Seattle low numbered 90's cards are high grades and expensive, but probably wouldn't make the list.
Our STL cardinals memorabilia is about like our UK memorabilia. Too much to list lol.
I also have very a great ken Griffey jr. auto and card collection (seattle only). My favorite non cardinal of all time.
My favorite all time piece are the nostalgic ones. The first autos i received back in the mail with my dad. Older autos when me and my father would graph the hotels and games. And I'd say my Game used Travis Ford jersey that Joe B Hall gave my family when we were on a fishing trip at Kentucky lake together. (Funny backstory here.) also game used Ozzie smith baseball bat. Another favorite.
Good thread. Love reading about people's memorabilia.

I own a collectibles store. If anybody wants to know the value of their stuff shoot me a message. Glad to help any UK fans.

Man it's always been dream of mine and my fathers, and I might open one in the future once my current business doesn't need my 24/7 attention. My father is retiring and we wouldn't mind it, even breaking even.
Do you do box breaks and hold signings? Is this in Kentucky?
If you do breaks and events I'll do some business with ya.
If you want some advice when's you make the leap let me know.
My store is in middle TN. It's about twenty miles east of Nashville. We have Beckett coming to the store to grade cards for customers Feb. 24th. We do case breaks once a month on trade night(third Thursday of each month). We haven't gotten into group breaks but plan to this year.

Great thanks a lot. I'll check you out and do some business. I live on breakers.tv lol, It's baseball card gambling to me, Love it. If you ever go that route make a post I'll be sure to sign in.
I'm totally jealous. It'll be a tough business in my area. Just for the love of it.
I also got a baseball signed by Luis Gonzalez the year he hit 57 dingers and had the game-winning hit in Game 7 of the WS. Not worth what it once was now.
I guess I could shred it and dump it all over Churchill Downs which is where his ashes are scattered but I think I am just going to claim possession.
