Whataboutbob_cat's 9th (and season finale) Weekly-ish Funtime Basketball Related Update: Sports Memorabilia

I actually thought the 8th update would be the last because I ran out of ideas. But lo and behold, here is the 9th edition!

Before we delve into this final update of the offseason, I must give credit for the inspiration to this post to the folks over at Bobcats Planet. I know there's been some rough feelings between the two sites but I hold very few grudges (exceptions: Shinnnnn!!!!! and Bennnnettttttt!!!!) so... whatever. 

Also, I felt this was needed, as maybe like some of you, I have a short attention span and debating Aaron Brooks or Chauncey Billups, among other things, was getting a little tiresome. So, I figured we needed something a little more light-hearted.

The rest after the jump

For those who follow me on twitter (@CardboardGerald), you might know what I purchased this past week.

Via an incredibly nice guy on eBay, I happened upon an autographed Shawn Kemp jersey for $105 shipped. It was too good of an offer to pass up (just today, a new auction opened up. Same jersey, except it was the green away jersey, autographed, but different seller- BIN $550, starting bid- $450). Needless to say, I was a giddy as a schoolgirl in anticipation of the arrival of my new jersey, my holy grail, through the mail. And it arrived today.

So, obviously this tops my sports memorabilia collection, which includes some posters, a Shawn Kemp pennant, a couple Michael Jordan cardboard standups, a Charlotte Hornets hat signed by Chuck D. (of Public Enemy), a Gerald Wallace Jersey, and an Alonzo Mourning jersey.

Pictured: Sports memorabilia. And also my room.

So anyway, I was wondering, would anyone like to share some of their sports memorabilia collection?

(Note on buying on eBay: if you're trying to find a steal of a deal, look constantly. For days upon weeks, I would search "Shawn Kemp" and order the listings from newest to oldest to see if anything had just popped up as far as jerseys, or whatever. It worked. Just keep an eye out for what you want)
