OT: Do you own something that you love but that most people would not appreciate?
Not the greatest topic sentence, but this is what I mean ... one of my favorite things I own is the actual mask that Jack Black wore in the move Nacho Libre ... I love that movie, but more people than not think it was horrible and why on earth would I want Nacho's mask. My last trick will be getting my wife to let me frame it and hang it up somewhere other than the basement :)

Steve Yzermans rookie card. I bought it at a dealers convention in 97' after they won the cup. I paid fifteen dollars for it at the time. Some people considered this a lot of money for a trading card but then he went on to win two more cups and the Conn Smythe trophy as well.

Not that that isn't awesome, but who exactly wouldn't want to have a Steve Yzerman rookie card?

know what the value of the card is right now??? i know that the o-pee chee version of the card is worth a couple hundred depending where you look...

I confess I do not know how much the card is worth. The reason for my ignorance of its value, is because I have never even considered selling it.

the former card collector in me coming out... when i would get a gem of a card like that i would always like to follow it to see what it was worth... all you would have to do is find a sports collectible store and they should have a price guide or the same card there for sale... that would give an idea of what it is worth... price guides are based on perfectly mint cards and the stores try to stay along the same guidelines...

An ex-girlfriend owns Tom Cruise's underwear from that famous scene in Risky Business.
Her aunt was a makeup artist on the set and asked Tom if she could have his skivvies when they wrapped for the day. This was just before he became uber-famous, and, strangely, according to my ex-girlfriend's aunt, he didn't seemed at all phased by the request. Anyhow, the aunt gave the underwear to my ex-gf on her 16th birthday, and she's had them ever since. I used to tease her about wanting to smell Tom Cruise's perineum, or, when she got them out, pretend I saw a shit stain in the rear. Good times...

It was a prize for winning the county spelling bee and going on to the state bee where I totally fucked up a stupidly easy word in the second round.

My Jager shot dispensing cooler that I bought for this seasons tailgating festivities. I'm sure at least one MGOman or woman has stopped by and had shots with my cousin, uncle, and I. Alas, you are all just faces in the crowd. The only people who would appreciate that are those of us on here and drunks.

that I made out of parachute cord during my 2nd tour in Saudi during the first Gulf War. Braided it myself and connected the ends with a lighter. It's green and ugly and hasn't came off of my leg for 18 years.
