What sports memorabilia do you collect?

I am a huge Minnesota Twins fan, so I have collected various things over the years related to the Twins. I have a number of baseball cards as well as a baseball that I just recently got autographed by former Twins player Tony Oliva. One of my friends and I like to go to the games where there are give-aways. This year I got a special collector's set of baseball cards, a schedule magnet, a bronze statue of Hall of Famer Kirby Puckett, as well as three Twins baseball caps. One is from opening day, one is a pink one which was from Mother's Day, and one is pinstripe cap in blue and grey. Not owning enough caps already, I bought a really cool red, white and blue hat with #57 Johan Santana on it! I have a number of shirts and jerseys as well. I have my really old #14 Kent Hrbek jersey as well a #57 jersey for Cy Young Award winning pitcher Johan Santana. As far as shirts I have a red t-shirt with #7 Joe Mauer on it, as well as a Twins Piranha shirt. DD has shirts with #7 Joe Mauer and #48 Torii Hunter on them. Oh, and I almost forgot my Twins lanyard that I wear every day to work as well as the Twins magnet which is on the back of my car.... Can you tell that I love baseball and love watching the Minnesota Twins?

So what do you own in the sports memoribilia department?

I have a jillion clothing articles with Pittsburgh Steelers stuff on it: socks, sweats, shirts, jerseys, hair scrunchies, earrings, pins, and my navel ring (which I have not removed since our SB 05 season).

I've got about five Terrible Towels, one being a Super Bowl special edition. I've got glasses from the early 80's that McDonald's gave out; I've got an eons-old beer can I got off of Ebay; I've got lights, beads, a bucket, a banner than hangs outside, and a windsock.

My mom just bought me a Christmas-tree skirt for this year as well as some lights in the shapes of helmets for my tree. The past two years I've received Christmas cards with the player's signatures on them (probably because I always buy stuff from the site) and these are under lock and key.

I've also got ticket stubs from a game I went to in January 05-the one where we lost to the Patriots. Had we won it we woulda went to the SB that year. It was horribly cold and we froze our patooties off-I couldn't hang any more after halftime and didn't feel my toes until we had went to bed that night in our hotel in Pittsburgh.

I have tons of UNC Chapel Hill Tar Heels stuff. When I was in school there, they'd give away a lot of free stuff, and I've bought a lot from the student store as well. I also have a lot of Wake Forest stuff, as that's my family's team (seems like everyone went to WF but me ) and I grew up a Wake Forest fan (still cheer for them -- as long as they aren't playing UNC).

We've got all kinds of Pats, Sox, Celts and Bruins stuff.

We have a personalized autographed picture of Bobby Orr.

A large photo collage (best way to describe it) of Bobby Orr - the large picture is a favourite of mine when he was very young and played for the Oshawa Generals and then three smaller photos and one is of the famous game winning goal against St. Louis.

A framed picture showing the final games for the Celts and B's at the Boston Garden, the first Pats Monday Night Football game, and picture of Fenway (there's some meaning to it but I can't remember what and it's packed away right now).

A framed autographed photo of Tom Brady.

A signed photo collage of Ray Bourque.

I also have some Bruins calendars from the 80s that I got autographs from numerous players and my Barry Pederson Bruins jersey that's autographed by various Bruins.

There's also all the stuff from when DH went to the Super Bowl in Houston when the Pats when their 2nd title. Loads of stuff my dad sent up when the Sox won in 2004 and when the Pats won in 2001.

I have a bunch of Celtics stuff from the 80's. There's a really good poster that the Herald gave away for the 1986 Championship team I need to get framed.

I still have my Doug Flutie Heisman Trophy poster that McDonald's gave away when you bought a Big Mac. I had my dad get one so I could have the poster.

There's also a ton of Senators stuff too.
