November 3, 201411 yr We're talking about prized-possession type things here. If you were told that you had 5 minutes to show off the single coolest, best, neatest, most interesting thing that you possess, what would it be?
November 3, 201411 yr We're talking about prized-possession type things here. If you were told that you had 5 minutes to show off the single coolest, best, neatest, most interesting thing that you possess, what would it be? You just made me realize I own nothing cool.
November 3, 201411 yr This was a lot cooler about 10 years ago (sad but true). I have a personally written autograph from Tiger Woods. My late uncle was a family friend of the Woods.
November 3, 201411 yr Alright, nerd time. I have a gaming computer that I built and put a lot of time and money into making. It cost me about 1800 in parts and numerous hours building it. If I were to sell it I could make about 3000 of it. That's my most prized item.

November 3, 201411 yr I'm not one who has a lot of old or valuable possessions. However, my high school achievement athletically was being part of a really good football team and having a small role in its success. So my old letter sweater (look it up, kids) and my Conner football jacket that I still have are my prized non-family possessions.

November 3, 201411 yr ... Good thread idea. I'd say the most unique, albeit not the most valuable, is a hand-painted Fred Stone (https://fredstone.com/artist/index.html) original of Chris Antley and Charismatic and the famous scene following the Belmont. What makes it uqique is in the bottom right, above his signature, it congratulates my wife and I on our wedding. My aunt knew that Charismatic was my favorite colt ever, so when we got married in 2002 she asked / paid Fred Stone to paint us an original with the note on it. It is VERY cool.
November 3, 201411 yr I have my grandfather's folding buck knife. He was a real bastard, but gave it to me on one of his good days. Not sure why I cherish it the way I do. Maybe so I won't remember him as a real bastard.

If you decide to start training feel free to hit me up. I'll offer all the advice I can.
