What Sox championship memorabilia do you recommend


Funkman7

Recommended Posts

I just picked up the SI special commemorative edition for the White Sox. The writing was okay, but it didn't provide much more than what I read already in the regular SI issues. In some cases the articles were pretty much lifted from the regular issues.

 

I liked the issue, but I was trying to find something with writing that better captured the moment. (If you've read the issue, you realize that Minnie Minoso's article doesn't really cut it.)

 

Of course I'm going to pick up the dvd's as soon as they are released... but what else should I look into?

I picked up the Tribune comemorative book they released. Something like $15. Well worth it, very nice quality pics.

Between the Sun-Times pullout sections and the World Series program, I don't feel like I need any other magazines. Tomorrow's 46 page Sun-Times pullout should just about complete the collection for me.

 

Thanks for the heeads up on the Times pull-out. I have all of the Trib stuff, their Sunday Commerative addition was ok.

 

There is a Street & Smith book that I have along with SI and the Trib.

 

Look this week for the weekly publications.

I just ordered 2 sets of the Topps World Series Cards...$19.99....I got one for viewing, one for saving...

 

LOL, I did the same thing with the topps cards. I have been buying some duplicates. I have a big plastic bin I have that I am collecting newspapers, other stuff for attic put away.

 

Got the bats from igottohavethat.com. Been buying all of the books and crap, the DVD when it comes out.

Anyone in Chicago willing to pick up one of the Sun Times tomorrow and send it out to Vegas for me? I'd love to have one and unfortunately can't get ahold of them here.

 

PM if this is a possibility and I can send you money for the paper & postage today through paypal (or pop it in the mail if you don't have paypal account).

 

Thanks!

I got the Sun-Times 11 x 14 photo of the Sports section cover in the mail yesterday. It's the one that is a photo of the team celebrating and says CHAMPS at the bottom. It's a cool photo and I'm going to put it in a frame.

 

Other than that, I have a wish list on the MLB site of all the stuff I want. World Series flag, bumper stickers (I'm going to put those on Cubs fans cars), WS shirt and hat, little WS trophy desk weight and a massive White Sox banner.

 

The one thing that I'm working on, is that I'm putting all the highlights on DVD. But for game 4 of the WS, I'm putting the entire game and all the celebration on DVD. I got the double layer DVD's for that.

Well, I did not know about that one! I do believe I will be picking up the Sun-Times tomorrow! Thank you!

These are what are important to me:

 

Got it:

 

ALCS Program

 

Game 3 ALCS Ticket Stub

 

One set unopened red ThunderStix

 

World Series Program

 

Game 1 World Series Ticket Stub

 

Chicago Tribune Section 1 and World Series special section; 10/23/05

 

Need it:

 

White Sox Authentic road gray jersey with World Series patch (I'll be getting #12)

 

Sports Illustrated Commemorative Edition. I got the Boston Red Sox' edition last year while I was living in Chicago, but I've not yet seen the Commemorative SI out in LA.

 

Chicago Tribune Section 1, 10/27/05, framed.

 

You can get the Sun-Times if you want, but since I really never liked reading it, I don't bother, but I did manage to collect all of the '85 Bears poster pull-outs when I was a kid.

 

Get whatever will be sentimental to you. The programs and ticket stubs say that to me because I was at those games.

Saw it at the Mall  few days ago. The center of it is the Sox all out on the mound in Houston celebrating. Very cool.

 

 

I am soooo going to get my ass kicked when the CC bills start rolling in. :ph34r:

I want to know if anyone is getting a team autographed ball from neiman marcus.  $2500

 

yikes

 

I ended up buying a team signed 16x20 photo from a Steiner Sports dealer. The price is a bit ridiculous (not quite as bad as that ball), but I had to have it. Obviously after I get a suitable frame for it the picture will take a place of honor on my wall.

Ha, really. I have been using cash, when I can. And I got my refund on my extra tix, so I've been spending that. Still waiting for my bats. Have you gotten either one yet?
