I actually have Ken Griffey Jr.'s rookie card. Wonder what it's worth? I also have a Trail Blazers Championship pennant that was given out when the team won the title. Friend gave me it before he moved overseas. But my best/worst piece of memorabilia are my Man City kits. The old ones when Umbro designed them are great. Most of the Nike ones are fucking lame though. They really suck at kit design. I'll probably by the away one this year.

Hard to say on the card. Depends so much on condition. Best bet is to get it graded by PSA, and go from there. That pennant would be an awesome piece! I've seen them around, but not very many. Someone on here is probably hoarding them all.... Lol
 
Had a '92 dream team Clyde Drexler silver coin. Cost all of $30 at the time, but that was big money for a 13-year-old! Don't know how much it would be worth now, but it doesn't really matter.
 
Autographed basketball my son won at the meet in greet with Rice and Schonz last fall. I'm stealing it from him and I'm really glad to have that roster's autographs on the ball, then I won a Blazer Dancer calendar here from Sly that's autographed. Now I want a Layman jersey and some Dame brand shoes.
 
I had some rare baseball cards when I was a kid...Babe Ruth, Ty Cobb, Mickey Mantle, Roger Maris, Bob Gibson, Yogi Berra, Whitey Ford, etc....when I got back home from Viet Nam, my little brother had them in the spokes of his banana seat bike so it would make a cool noise...the idiot ruined a fortune without knowing it.
 
NBA - Personal favorite is an autographed Clyde Drexler 1990-91 NBA Hoops Card. A friend and I went to watch a Blazer game and we brought along several basketball cards for the players to sign. Clyde was gracious and kind enough to sign memorabilia and chat with fans after the game. He's genuinely a nice guy and one my favorite Blazers of all time growing up as a kid.

MLB - Personal favorite is an autographed Ken Griffey Jr. Fleer Rookie Card. Again, friends and I went to a Mariners game and we were able to have him sign several cards for us.

NFL - Personal favorite is autographed Brett Favre 1992 Topps Card. My grandfather took me to watch a game at Lambeau field when I was a teen. We were fortunate enough to have Brett sign my rookie card. Brett is my favorite player playing my favorite sport!

None of these cards have letters of authenticity, but they are still my favorites pieces of my collection from my childhood.

I have a Telfair jersey and a Kobe rookie card, those have to be worth something!

That's true. And so could Clyde....

I've always loved those glasses. I made the mistake of running a couple through the dishwasher though. Faded the crap out of them.

If I had to choose, I think I'd pick Clyde to rejoin the Blazers.
 
One of my favorites is my signed Petteri Kopponen Summer League jersey, which I caught when he tossed it into the crowd.

The most valuable is my "hand-numbered and signed by the artist" print of Gibson's home run off of Eckersley. Birthday gift from a friend.

Most unusual: Oregonian metal print plate "Meet Greg Oden." Another birthday gift from a different friend.

The one I don't have, but that I really want: Wesley Matthews 3Goggles Bobblehead. My birthday is in October...
 
El Presidente has the most impressive collection of jerseys and Blazer gear if I remember correctly...seems he posted some of it a long while back

I got a LaMarcus Aldridge glass at a game a few years back. Still have it in the cupboard. I may keep it. I mean, who knows, he could end up a Blazer again in the future. :deadhorse:

I have both the LA and Rolo glasses (I call it my "McLoughlin Auto Mall" set), right next to my Terry/Clyde/Jerome/Buck glasses from 20 years prior.

The kids only get to use the newer ones. The old ones are mine.

I have a boxing glove and the back of a restaurant receipt both signed by Mike Tyson. My father gave me both. He won the glove in an online Auction and gave it to me for Christmas. About 3 years before that, however, he met Tyson briefly at a casino restaurant in Las Vegas, and asked for his autograph. He signed the back of two receipts for my father; one went to my sister, the other to me.

I keep the receipt in a signed Mic Foley autobiography, which I had signed by Mic when I met him at the Portland Auto Show many years ago. He was there signing autographs and pictures.

Those three things I'll never let go.

The worst? Hmmm....probably my LaMarcus Aldridge shirts. Sorry folks.
 
I have a Michael Jordan rookie star card that is rare. I bought it at a card shop for 5 bucks about 20 years ago. I also have an autographed Dale Murphy baseball from 1985.
 
I hate to rat him out (really!!!) but you guys should ask BG about his Darius Miles memorabilia collection some time........fortunately his SF Giants collection goes a long ways towards redeeming him.....

Yeah, if this were the bay area. I think you just sank him 10 ft further down the hole!!! :)
 
Nah, in our family we're not ashamed to admit that we're as big of fans of the Giants as we are of the Blazers. San Francisco was the "regional" team when I was a kid. My in laws also lived in SF when BG was a lad. AND the Giants wear the same colors as OSU. So BG and his brother weren't given a choice. I like to call it "proper parenting". Portland based fans of the Mariners and Seachickens are the folks who should be hanging their heads....
