What do you wish were in your collection?

I periodically find items I'd really like to own and I figure the rest of you do too.

This thread is dedicated to the items we wish we had and would like to share. They don't have to be the most expensive items, but things that have special meaning for some reason or catch our eyes.

Thanks to Mr Zipper for posting the first thread of this similar nature.

At least most are good investments for the future. You can't say that about drugs or alcohol. No Autographs Anonymous necessary. Unless you're buying Shakespeare and Abe Lincoln's autographs to line your fireplace.

No idea you were having or planning to have kids. Congratulations! Just a tip... autographs don't last long in little hands.

The Mickey Mantle piece is neat too. I'm envious that there are stores near you which just randomly sell authentic autographs. I don't have that here in Chicago. Perhaps it says more about the city itself I'm not sure. We wouldn't be $600 million in the hole if we just taxed 10% on corrupt political payoffs and things of that nature.

A collector wants to know about Mounted Memories and ProSports Memorabilia. If you can help him, here's the link:

Hah, CEE GEE. You can't just list off items you want! This thread is a visual one. And with that,

Sam Cooke SP which sold through RR. He's probably one of the only 20th century singers I like which I don't have an autograph of yet. Doesn't get much better than this one.

I wish I had gone to a couple of the signings he did in the '90s. I have a couple of Muhammad Ali items and I like them. I'm also a big fan of Michael Jordan being from Chicago. I'm not interested in the UDA material but I'd like one of these in my collection. Unfortunately, I couldn't find a good scan. This is a picture I lifted off a eBay listing.

I'd also love to have this in my collection. It sold a number of months ago for a little over $1,000 and is worth every penny I think.

Team-signed Wheaties box authenticated by PSA/DNA. Great big Michael Jordan auto on the front along with other starting lineup players like Pippen and Grant. Coaches and more bench players on the back, including head coach Phil Jackson.
