Use this thread to post any pictures of memorabilia (bobbleheads, Starting Lineup figurines, whatever) relating to players from RBI. Gantry's thinking of adding a memorabilia subsection to the media page. Feel free to add a description or story with your post, and try to keep the pictures at a reasonable size (I resized mine down from 1300k directly from the camera to about 62k).
Kirby Puckett bobblehead from a giveaway at a Twins game in 2000. According to the little card that came with it (which I forgot to get in the picture), it's #3981 of 10000.
I've got the Twins team set of '88 Donruss baseball cards, which contains all the RBI guys. I was going to post a picture of the RBI-ers from that set (in lineup order, even!), when I noticed that the flash had caused a glare that wiped out Randy Bush's face. I may try again later.
I know I put this pic up before, but I'll re-post it here, so nobody has to look it up.
I'll have a few up here as soon as I find that damn USB cable.
Wow, that looks just like Kirby

I'm picking up on your sarcasm.
Kirby is dark as night. Damn.
Well you should. I'm laying in on pretty thick.
Here is my prized Will Clark autograph from 1989. I actually mailed this to the spring training Giants facility in Scottsdale, AZ and got it back like 3 months later. While I wasn't present when he signed it--it sure appears to be authentic based on other signatures I've seen of his. Hell, he might have had a pretty good forger at that point in his career, but I choose to believe it is legit.

I have finally finished the set of 1988 starting lineups for the cardinals. Willie is on the way. and Vince Ozzie Jack Tommy and Todd are all hanging on the wall already.... when wille gets here Ill post a photo.

Popup, shallow rightfield.
Truly a novelty pic of jose
What is up with the guy in the Expos jersey in the background.
He got cut today.
Jose?
The guy in the Expos jersey got cut today, too.
Poor guy, just can't hit the curve.
Here's a classic SI cover: Grich and DeCinces jumping for an extremely high high-five. Go Angels!
One more SI cover. I can't tell what's funnier about this, his goofy grin or the remarkably accurate caption.

They skied above the 6 inch mark.
I picked up some more RBI memorabilia for about $8 last Sunday.
I got:
John Franco autograph
Ellis "Tim" Burks game used jersey card
Tony Gwynn game used bat card
Bill Buckner game used bat card
When/if I ever get access to a scanner, I'll put up a pic

How is he hitting .344?
He fucking scares the ball into the outfield.
Jeez, he's F-ugly!
I picked this up a few weeks ago at an antique store on my birthday trip to Bakersfield. It's a set of four punch out paper masks from the early 1990s (like you would get on the back of a box of cereal, where you punch out the eyes and mouth and string the rubber band through it to put it on your head). There were different series, but this was the only one with all four players being RBIers. And besides, who wouldn't want to go as hjose canseco or Drugs for Halloween this year.
(Note: I haven't scanned in the masks yet, so this is a picture of it from another site.)
I'm crazy sterroid baseball player head. . . . . . gimme some candy!
I'm crazy cocaine addict baseball player head. . . . just because I'm addicted to cocaine doesn't mean I don't like the sweet taste of delicious candy. . . . .so please, if you would, gimme some god damned candy!

I stumbled across what may be the two most enviable pieces of RBI memorabilia ever. I forgot that I had them. Unfortunately, no pics :-[
1) A circa 1987 Glenn Davis temporary tatoo
2) A sheet of 1984 "rub ons" (similar to iron ons, but scratched onto paper with a coin) that has Tom Brnsky, Darryl Strwby, and Pete Coke Head from the NL all-stars

she did a fine job of forging donnie baseball's name on that $3 hat :D
Congrats on the 2 years.
Actually, it came with a certificate of authentication from donmattingly.com.
I got an Alan Trammel autograph on Ebay, I think I got scammed.
i posted two pix of my alan trammell autographs that i think are legit (got as a kid), if you wanna compare...
i have an RBI cartridge autographed by Allen Trammel
www.donmattingly.com
Damn.
I like Mattingly and think he deserves the HOF, but the dude is fucking proud of his autographed stuff.
50 bucks for a photo?
125 for a hat?
75 for a ball?
Wowzers.

I was joking, with my intentional misspelling of Trammel, I figure it's a scam if the autograph is spelled wrong.
I get it, I get jokes.
i tried to mispell the name (for humorous purposes). . . . hope i didn't throw anyone off.
allenn trrammell is great
I noticed both and assumed it was for my benefit. Ult, I thought you really had the autographs but mispelled so I'd comment. You clever little bitch.

So when you wear the Josie mask, you have the corner of Mattingly's hat on your chin? Pervert.
That Angels SI cover is awesome. Reminds me of a touchdown celebration in Tecmo Bowl.
