I have a scrapbook of Archie Manning's. I bought it at an estate sale in Drew, MS at his parent's house. This book is really old. His mother kept a lot of his newspaper clippings and other things during his time at Ole Miss. After his mother passed in 2000 they decided to have the estate sale. I went and was proud to walk away with that scrapbook. Inside included:
a letter from Bear Bryant signed wishing him many successful seasons.
Plays that were ran against Alabama in 69
Many letters from fans
A "get well" card from LSU's mascot.
Tons of newspaper clippings.
I thought about giving it to Ole Miss to put up in the Manning room or contacting Archie to give it to him.

I like that. It's a pretty obscure piece to most people but it signifies the start of your relationship with the Spurs. Pretty cool.

That's a one of a kind. You can't put a price tag on that.
How much did you give for it at the estate sale?

My favorite piece is a six pack of coca-cola commemorating the 1994 basketball championship..
Although I love my footballs signed by Darren Mcfadden and Felix Jones and one signed by Ryan Mallett and Tyler Wilson.

eta: Very nice on the football. I'd love to have Nolan Ryan baseball but I'd want to have him sign it in front of me.
Have a Ryan ball. Wasn't signed in front of me though. Aunt got it for me.
My favorites are an autographed picture by Cannon of the Halloween run, and a Bob Petit autographed picture framed with a card. I also have an autographed Archie Manning card that was done in front of me.
Not a Pack fan, but have an autographed picture of Bart Starr.
And I kick my arse every day, but lost an autographed poster by Super Mario. That's the only reason I even have a favorite hockey team.(don't follow the sport really)

Holy shite. You should list it on eBay with a ridiculous reserve price just to see what kind of interest it brings. You can always cancel the auction before it ends and not be obligated to sell it.
Oh and I'll give you $4 for it right now site unseen. Deal?

I have an Auburn football signed by the whole 2010 Championship team.
Second place would be my signed Brett Favre Vikings jersey, which is pretty neat

Naah.
I don't think they knew what was in it when they sold it. There were several scrapbooks there. No telling what were in the others. Posted on 7/8/13 at 12:22 am to GTHTSUN
Eli OM game jersey.

I was there in Arlington the series before Nolan threw #7. 
When I go to games there now I always have a ball and Sharpie at the ready but it is damn near impossible to get to him. He has more security than W.
Last game I went to in Arlington was the day before the guy fell to his death. That shite was fricked up.

I bet you got a hard on when you opened that thing up and saw all that shite. And once you got out of there with it for less than a gallon of gas you probably nutted in your pants. (wouldn't be the first time I'm sure)

I really didn't notice what was in it till I got home and started pulling stuff out. When I found that letter from Bear Bryant I was taken back for a second. It surprised me.

Oh man, that must be painful to remember. To of been there for a non-no would be priceless.
I would of given anything to be at Matt Cains perfect game. Even if I hate the high school he went to
I still had friends there at Houston High when Cain was there.

Holy shite that's impressive

He still threw a hell of a game and I got to see the GOAT pitch so I can be upset about it. If I remember right he only gave up one hit that night.

I'm envious. I have only been able to attend one MLB game, and their were no very good players, much less great. It was O's and Nats in 08. Would be much more interesting this year. Unfortunately Strasburg was on DL when I was back in VA a month ago.

That wins the thread for sure.

When the oil spill hit the gulf a few years ago it ruined my beach vacation so we just winged it. We drove to DC to see all of the sites and that was Strasburg's rookie season. We were there for his first major league loss. (against the Royals)
It was my youngest child's birthday and a player from the Royals threw her up a ball during BP when I told him it was her bday. Texiera was his name but no it wasnt Mark.
We had a great view of Strasburg warming up and even got these cool pictures....

I'd have to say my Adolph Rupp autograph. My grandfather got it from him in the 60s and I'm in the process of getting it framed.
