What's the best memoribilia, autograph, pic u have of an Alabama player/coach?

Ive got a picture with Jay Barker from an FCA event in the mid 90s and picture with Gene Stallings the year before he retired - he has a baby raccoon on his shoulder in the picture. ONe of the nicest men I've ever met.

Coach Bryant was doing a book signing in Oxford, so my grandmother(the lady in the first pic with the dark black hair) took her 3 kids(Uncle #1 in pic #1, Uncle #2 w/ the glasses in pic #2, and my father standing behind Uncle #1 in pic #3). Armed with four 8x10s and 3 books, all were signed by the man himself.

Unfortunately, the pictured 8x10 is the only item from that day that's whereabouts are presently known

A Coca Cola special edition coke for the Bear's 315th victory (unopened of course)
A signed helmet by Shaun Alexander
A picture of Mark Ingram and Trent Richardson signed by both of them
A signed Reebok cleat by Nick Saban

However, my favorite (by far) is something that is not really Alabama memorabilia. I was two years old when the Bear died and my family had moved to MS before my father was even born. Our local paper, the Clarion Ledger, put together a huge piece when he died and my parents kept it. When I was old enough to appreciate it my dad gave it to me. What resonates the most to me is how respected he was that another state's flagship newspaper would dedicate 10 pages of articles/stats in remembrance of his accomplishments. That's something we will never see again in our lifetimes.

Now that u say that, I have a jersey that I kept from when I played high school football. We were the same color as Alabama. I remember our coaches or someone saying our jerseys were Alabama's old practice jerseys. Not sure how true that is but they did look like older jerseys.

I'm gonna hold onto as much stuff as I can from the Saban era. College football will probably never have another dynasty this great that's as consistent every year as Alabama is. I have magazines, newspapers, cards, championship hats, ticket stubs and t-shirts from this era and I make sure they're all kept in safe places so I can pass them down in my family one day. I can't imagine someone passing something down to me from the Bear Bryant era, so I can't wait until I can give this stuff to my own family one day.

A Massive 62 Jersey in a huge frame signed by Cody, with a photo on the bottom of the frame of Cody blocking Lincoln. Photo is signed by Julio Jones, Arenas, McClain, and Cody.

Which is now worth zero due to Cody's transgressions.

Mark Ingram full sized helmet that is supposedly "game worn". American flag decal is upside down on the helmet which I didnt notice til I brought it home, but made me want to quickly sell.

Met Derrick Thomas at Dreamland in Tuscaloosa when I was a kid. Got him to autograph a napkin.

I don't have anything, but my dad has a basketball signed by a whole lot of former Alabama basketball players from when he and I attended some sort of legends game a few years back. My memory is a little hazy on when and who all was there but he really looks after that basketball.

I probably have the most unique one, and those under 30-35 probably don't know the significance.


I have a Bama Bino Pizza cup signed by Buck Johnson and Bobby Lee Hurt.

All I've got is my pic with Coach Saban and then a few autographs plus my Saban era collection of cards, hats, shirts, and newspapers. Y'all make my collection look bad lol
