What's Your Most Prized Cyclone Possession?

I have quite a few decent possessions but some of my favorite are actually memories:
I was at the party when Homan hid under the car. He and I had a mutual love hate for each other. Ran into his sister at an aTm game down there eons ago, (she lived in San Antonio) and she came up and said "I know you, you're friends with my brother." LOL
Julius gave me the hustle award during a Nick Nurse camp.
Ran into McCarney all the time at Montys barbershop. GREAT GUY.
Larry bought be a shot when I was underage at Wallabys.
At a CF party at the Keg Stand, Wally was hanging out with us and got a little tipsy. Someone asked him what he was drinking and he said "cranberry vodka, what does that make me a *****?!" (Rhymes with wussy)
I have a sketched poster by Keith Sandvig that I wanted some autographs on, it got passed around by the team and Dave Sims looks at it and goes "I love this poster because it's got Dave Sims #1 front and center!" (Yes he said it in third person)
Was soc partners with DeAndre Jackson and Reggie George. DeAndre told me he got 6 Fs for his midterm, LOL.

I was in a final for a soc class. Tim Barnes (former bball player) was behind me and looking at my sheet for answers. In my head I was like man you are picking the wrong guy to copy from LOL. I think that was semester that he declared academically ineligible afterward.
2011 OSU field storm pic signed by Rhoads. I think I donated it and bought it back at an auction for a friend's dad's medical fundraiser?
Same with a ball signed by Fennellly and Hoiberg.

Dan Gable signed program (U.S. v. Iran meet)
Cael Sanderson bobblehead and Wheaties boxes (2) but these were donated not too long ago.
1974-75 student catalog with cover of long-haired student carrying books by his side (we didn't use backpacks then).

Gameday program from the opening game against Air Force at JTS in 1975. We didn't save the tickets.
My most prized possession was something I had and gave to a Cyclone friend as a wedding gift. It was the program/picture given to everyone getting something autographed by the all century basketball team. Very humbling for me to be standing in front of those all time Cyclone greats.
This pic of Jeff Hornacek and Barry Stevens playing basketball in my driveway, which Jeff signed many years later at his ISU HOF induction. I'm the kid with the ball.

Dang it, you took mine. (Or rather, my husband's) He got his from a sports media member in Nebraska that knew he attended ISU. Have it packed away somewhere...not sure if '77 or '78.
Also have...
1) A yellow "All In" rally towel handed out at the 2011 OSU game signed by Rhoads
2) Husband has a mini basketball signed by Prohm he won at a raffle
3) And what might be worth more now, husband's Starter winter pullover jacket from his freshman year with this emblem on the back
Whirly bird came in the following year
Not sure I could single out the most. For a birthday present I got a signed ball by I think the 05 WBB team. Then for the next 5 years or so continued to get future players in the program to sign it. I have several signed jerseys. I have a Medders signed #14, a Mary Fox signed #11, Rahshon Clark signed #13. I had a #32 signed by Fred but unbelievably the permanent marker signature wore off just hanging in storage. So I got it signed again not by Fred however. I chose to have it signed by one the best WBB players to play at ISU, Angie Welle, to sign it.
That is bad ass! Two greats, a signature, and personal story and memory. The best ones are ones you could never give away. (except to maybe the blond kid).
I I had to pick a "sparks joy" item, it would have to be the 2000 game helmet mostly because of attached picture. If the player number inside is a legit clue it was Jamaine Billups helmet. Anyway, it was a display item but my grandnephew is absolutely mad about wearing it so not limited to display now (hey, game worn so why not play worn).
I have a t shirt signed by Hoiberg, Meyer, Michalik and Beechum. Found it cleaning out my grandmas house after she died.
