Ok, I've been thinking about this for a while.....what is the weirdest thing that you have in your collection....
For me....two things that my dad got from auctions:
1. A street pole banner of Sandy Alomar that weighs about 70 lbs and is probably 25' tall by 4' wide
and probably the most interesting/weird...
2. A Cavs warmup suit of Manute Bol. The pants alone are 5' tall!!!

I got nothing to match the original poster's stuff but I do have a license plate frame from Alex Rodriguez Mercedes. My wife used to work for the county doing auto registrations and got it from the dealership guy who registered new cars.

Well, if you want weird...
About 15 years ago, I drove up to Colorado for an ultimate frisbee tournament. I forgot to put sunscreen on my ankles & they were badly sunburned. Days later they started to peel, so I kept a large, roughly card-sized piece of skin - sealing it in a top-loader bag. It shrunk a bit from drying out, but it's still intact to this day. Gives new meaning to the phrase "player-worn memorabilia".

That is weird indeed, like the big toenail that turned black and fell off after I ran that Daytona Beach half marathon in February of this year. Not sure if I kept it though, as that would be too horrifying for my Wife Suzannah.
Most interesting item is the medal awarded to one of the Cuban Baseball Players on one of my Teams, that He received directly from that communist SOB Fidel Castro. He awarded it to Our Coaching Staff (Bernie Carbo and myself) and Bernie asked me to keep it as He knew that I had escaped communist Cuba back in April 1962.
Final item is more like a Baseball Sports Collectible. It is a 2002 Sammy Sosa cardboard standup (almost life size) from the All-Star Game in Milwaukee. Some fellow wanted it, who wanted all Sammy Sosa items (met Him in Our local Sports Trading Card Store in Rockledge). Mostly like to stick with Sports Trading cards, but every now and then, it is fun to let Our eccentricities come on in some of what we collect . . .

I don't have anything weird, but my brother did at one time. Carlos Santana, the rocker not the baseball player, once gave my brother who was on the front row the empty Coke can that Santana had finished drinking during the concert.

Used to be Lingere worn by one of the dancers of Motley Crue during the Dr Feelgood tour in 1989 in Würburg.
Now it would be a huge oil painting of Saddam Hussein on a white horse leading a charge of Tanks and horses into battle to commemorate the Iran Iraq war,

The closest I can do is a sign and pieces of rock from the old Holmesdale Road terrace at Selhurst Park when it was knocked down to make way for a new seated stand in the late 1990's.

In 1993 Hendrick Motorsports put Al Unser Jr. in a car for the Daytona 500. The one and only race he competed in, In NASCAR, My Brothers Brother in Law works for Hendrick And changed front tire on Terry Labonte at the time. He sent a race used tire of Al's to our whole family, LOL I know have all 4, Takes up alot of space but put glass on top and they make good end table, Convo items.
