    I've a bit of a collection from my 25+ years of collecting.

    So, what's your best/favourite bit. How did you acquire it? Where was it from? What did it cost? What's it worth?!? Etc etc

    My own favourite is a Green Un A-board newspaper ad from the day we went up 'Glory Day for Tykes', not the oldest or most valuable but I reckon it could be the only surviving one!!?

    I'd post a pic if I knew how to, come on what's yours....

    My Barnsley/Brazil scarf which was a present from my Grandad years ago, it accompanied me to Anfield, Oakwell, and Wembley in 2008.

    It even made it in to the papers at Anfield: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?...=a.34150450114.65110.744720114&type=3&theater

    Without sounding (too) soft, it was probably the last gift my Grandad ever gave me and I'd be beside myself if I lost it, so it never leaves my flat now!

    Mine is a postcard send from George Lillycrop to his mother from Vienna I think during a post-season tour after the 1910 Cup Final defeat. I can't remember the exact details as I rarely get it out for fear of damaging it!

    Signed squad football 91/92
    Signed West Ham programme by Redders (plus his book signed)
    Collection of programmes in general
    Selection of pin badges and flags

    One of Gerry Taggart's nostril hairs. It was in a Mint Julep in a dark corner of the Whispers after he left escorting a lady in November 1990. I'd never sell it.

    It was a present from my dad. He's got some pretty good contacts in the footy memorabilia world. He was offered a 1912 Cup Final programme as well, but it was for 900 quid which he unsurprisingly had second thoughts about! I have a feeling it sells for quite a lot more than that these days mind.

    I've got some rare stuff

    A drop of mike sherons sweat

    An ounce of kevins donavons grit and determination

    300 yards of Eric tinklers turning circle

    And a neutrino of simon davey and keef hills combined popularity

    I did have jan molbys shorts but Billy smart bought them off me
