Name something different (to you) that you own
I have an autographed basketball from Michael Jordan.
(Mid-80s) It was the last day of my summer (sports) internship at the Detroit Free Press. A Nike-sponsored event had Jordan in town with a few Pistons (Dumars, Rodman, etc...)
Getting the autograph was totally unprofessional (as I was a reporter) but it was the last day of the internship, so I was getting the autographed ball.  MJ was actually pretty chilled, easy to talk to. He and Joe Dumars were just regular dudes.
....I think the ball's in a closet off of my family room.

Nope. I've had her for almost 7-years.

Yep. I pick her up all the time. It's a little more difficult now, because she's bigger than my hand, so I have to hold her with both hands. I mean, as long as she's not ready to molt, she doesn't mind being held.

She was. I saw the movie when I was a kid. It was sad at the end, but she was so giving. I loved the moral of the story.

How much do you think that ball is worth? Probably a lot, huh?

Don't really know. Depending on if MJ is a big autograph signer or not, my ball could have some value.
Funny thing is I've never, even as a kid, been "autograph guy." Now, if I run into you at Cedar Point, I'm likely getting an autograph then.

You should get it appraised just to see what it's worth. You might be surprised. I mean, especially it being signed by Michael Jordan.

We'll have to exchange autographs. I'll print out one of your posts in D&R random, so you can sign it for me.
