I put the catch-all for both sections. I like more of the novelty stuff, like I have some bobble-heads, game worn Wunsch and Foulke jerseys I picked up at Sox-fest garage sale and some autorgraphs I got when I was younger. As gifts I tend to get stuff, but I like the more unique quirky stuff to display in my at home bar.

I keep all my ticket stubs. Not sure when I started this, but I think my oldest goes back to like 2000, when I started watching baseball. My dad got me in to this tradition, as he has been keeping tickets his whole life. My dad writes on the back of the stub who he went with, and the final score. I just write if anything memorable happened, like milestones, debuts, great plays, no-hitters, etc.

Ive got all kinds of stuff my bro sent me after the world series. Buerhle wheaties box, headines from newspapers and pins. Older stuff includes ticket stub from 1st game at the Cell. Starting lineup figurines of Frank Thomas , pewter statue of Thomas from the Sports Illustrated collection, buttons, a Winning Ugly t shirt ( yes an original one I saved) and Sox baseball cards going back to the early 60's. I love bobble heads but have none of the Sox just Lakers , Angels, and and some hockey ones I picked up very cheap during the strike. I also have what I suppose most Sox fans have ,caps from four different uniforms and various t shirts.

i have a lot of autographs, mainly 8x10s because i used to like to collect them but dont want them anymore but they dont have much value considering theyre autos of carlos lee, jose valentin, magglio, scotty pods, willie harris, ozzie, aaron rowand,freddy, etc. lol not much demand for that

I have an ever growing collection of authentic jerseys (Majestic on-field of the past decade, and Mitchell and Ness for period-correct productions of older jerseys). And of course, I have quite a few caps as well. I just started looking into getting some game-worn memorabilia. I love bobbleheads and I have a good handful of autographed baseballs too.

I try to get a media guide and an opening day program every year, so I have amassed a good collection of those. Lots of hats. lots of 2005 WS stuff, and a small assortment of random vintage cards. I have a signed Loaiza jersey with the 2003 ASG patch on it that would have more meaning if he won the Cy Young that year.

 

My oddest items are probably:

 

• a Winning Ugly trucker cap with the foam front and mesh back — ugly as s*** and I love it.

• A Cooperstown Collection set of hand-painted wooden nesting Russian Dolls of Sox ballplayers in various vintage jerseys.

You weirdo. ;)

 

I have several thousand White Sox baseball cards. I haven't acquired many in the last 5 years...would like to get back into that. My most prized is an autographed Louie Aparicio.

This. I have 10 jerseys at present, authentic.

 

Mostly modern but also a 1959 Aparicio home jersey and a 1960 Nellie Fox road jersey. Also, a 2004 American League All-Star jersey for (gulp!) Loiza.

 

One jersey that's now a collectible is my Buehrle home white vest, which they stopped wearing (why? Those were so cool!).

 

I'm always ready to enter to win any authentic jersey.

I'll give you $10 for them :P Outside of my WS stuff I do have some pretty cool autographs from Willie Mays, Mickey Mantle and Muhammed Ali.
