Top 3 pieces of memorabilia you would like to own.
You can own three things in the memorabilia dept. You can own Judy Garland's shoes from the Wizard of oz, you can own James Dean's sports car from Rebel without a cause, you can own Fonzie's jacket from Happy days...you could own the ball Hank Aaron hit for #715 and so on and so forth.
The key is that you can't sell it once you have it....they're just yours to keep and look at, they essentially have no monetary value as you can't sell and get the cash.
Give me your top 3.
My 3 would probably be:
1) Ali's gloves from the Manila fight with Frazier
2) An everlasting Gobstopper from the original Willy Wonka movie.
3) Belushi's smashed guitar and "college" shirt from Animal House.

Could it be a car?
Then I'd like the one in 'Ferris Bueller's day off'.
That's enough. I'll pass on the other two.

Edison's first working light bulb
Something from Tesla's Lab
That would cover AC/DC
A thousand other things come to mind. This is one tough question......

If you take the car and give up the other 2, you get Cameron's Gordie Howe jersey as a throw in.

 Agreed!! Without stealing your thunder, I just want the results charts for both days of the 2014 Breeders Cup.

Tough question.
1. the Lost Ark of the Covenant-I am curious as to what exactly is inside
2. the Mona Lisa or Statue of David - pure vanity
3. the secret of getting a new body - this one hurts,
then of course there is the money angle

But what if it did not carry race results?

Piece of cake:
Secretariat's Track-Worn Shoe from the 1972 Belmont (I'd NEVER sell this)
Man O' War's Track-Worn Shoe from any of his races (Id NEVER sell this either)
Honus Wagner's Baseball Card - last one sold for around 2.5 million (I'd sell this ASAP and buy more Horse Racing Memorabilia)
