Your favorite pieces of boxing memorabilia?

Some of mine are as follows:
- The first issue of The Ring that I ever purchased back when I was 14 in September of 1976 with Ali & Ken Norton on the cover which I had autographed by Norton in Canastota in 1991. I have it framed & on my wall.
- My signed 8 X 10 of Jimmy Young, Renaldo Snipes, Tommy Morrison, Evander Holyfield & dozens of other heavyweight contenders & champions.
- My signed 8 X 10 of Nigel Benn who I was such a fan of that I named my only son after him.
- My entire boxing magazine collection which I've downsized a bit since my last post about this but I've kept all my issues of The Ring, Boxing Illustrated, KO Magazine, Boxing Monthly & a few select other vintage titles.
- I also sold off my entire on-site poster collection to finance a trip across the country to meet my now fiancee, Jana. In a way, I hated to see my collection go but on the other hand, it was easy to part with them because of the money that I was able to get for them. Besides, it led to my soon-to-be wife moving across the country to be with me, so it was more than worth it.
- My boxing trading cards collections. Especially all my signed ones. I've got complete sets of All World Boxing, Kayo, Ringlords, Browns etc. along with dozens of individual cards that have been autographed by legends like Kid Gavilan, Ike Williams, Floyd Patterson, Ali, Norton, Julio Cesar Chavez, Tommy Morrison, Emile Griffith, Bob Foster & many others.
- My autographed magazine collection. I've got many issues of The Ring, SI, Boxing Illustrated, various programs etc. all signed by fighters featured on the cover.
