We all have mugs, cups, jerseys, flags, plates, or things of that nature. But something that somebody else might not have.
Mine would be a beach towel that has Bugs Bunny in an Aikman jersey and beside him is Taz in an Emmitt jersey. It's probably more than 15 years old and I still use it today even though it is so thin that it can't dry you off very well. :D

I have a Cowboys shirt that shrunk in the washer. If I put it on it's too small and I look fruity in it. So I think I'm gonna give it to someone smaller.

A cutting board shaped like a football with Cowboys and the star in the center. As in the kind you cut vegetables up on.

I own an Emmitt Smith" In The Zone" T-shirt that I got back in 1996. This T-shirt was not available through the Dallas Cowboys or through typical retail avenues. It was only available by saving up enough Coca-Cola bottle caps and mailing them in for the free T-shirt. Not real rare, but not real common either.

Up until recently when it go lost during a move, I had a Dallas Cowboys themed comic book. It was essentially about Landry and Staubach preaching Christian Values. Pretty interesting.

An old Pendleton wool blanket from the 1960's with the Cowboy Joe logo on it and it's brand new in a plastic bag with the tag still on it.

I used to have that, too.
My two favorite/most unusual things are the wristband Troy Aikman wore in the 1991 game at Arizona, and a copy of a letter from Roger Staubach to Jerry Jones (circa 1993).

I have a set of Dallas Cowboys Russian nesting dolls that I bought in Prague. Romo is the outside, and the set also includes Witten, TO, Barber, Newman... couple of others as you get smaller and smaller.
I also have a Spurs set with Duncan, Ginobili, Parker, etc.

Nope, Salesman sample = fake diamonds(real 10K white gold). Real player ring or front office ring would be several times more expensive.

I own a mason jar of dirt from the New Stadium site from during the construction. The husband of one of the ladies that worked for me worked the project. He filled it from the field. I also have a bolt that he gave me.

I also have these nesting dolls from Prague! Gifts from two buddies who loved the idea of some Czech hand-painting names of players they've never heard of from a sport they don't follow. Check your dolls. Mine has a Terry "Gleen" figure in it..:laugh2:

I dont own anything weird, except maybe a Cowboys blowup tailgate coffee table haha.
But! When the Cowboys beat the Steelers in the 90's for our last superbowl, my grandma was a PR lady for Tiffany's (they make the superbowl trophy) she was kinda big time in the Dallas area. Well the trophy was brought to their store and it was going to be delivered to the Cowboys the next day.
The store closed and my grandma didnt want to leave the trophy at the store, fearing someone might steal it. So she and another man who worked at the store carried it out to her cadillac and put it in the trunk!!! My grandma then went to the grocery store to pick up some dinner before she got home.
When she got home she told my Grandpa to get the Dallas Cowboys Superbowl trophy out of the trunk! Needless to say, my Grandpa thought that was more than slick. So he wanted a picture of him with the trophy, they put it on a bar stool and took a picture with his arm around it, but the funny part is that he was still in his bath robe!
If I can find that picture i will figure out how to put it on here, its really funny.

I own both a TO and Roy Williams (safety) jersey.
I bought neither of them. My fiance bought them for me early on when we were dating. Before she became aware of the fact that I don't ware team apparel, much less apparel of those two. And since she bought them, I can't just junk them, so they sit in my closet looking pristine cause they've only been worn once or twice.
if i had the money this would be an item i would buy !.

If You've Always Wanted Tom Landry's Hat ...
By Robert Wilonsky in Sports (http://blogs.dallasobserver.com/unfairpark/sports/)
Tuesday, Sep. 8 2009 @ 3:53PM
http://blogs.dallasobserver.com/unfairpark/assets_c/2009/09/landryhat-thumb-265x156.jpg (http://blogs.dallasobserver.com/unfairpark/landryhat.jpg)So, let's say Jack Ruby's hat (http://blogs.dallasobserver.com/unfairpark/2009/08/the_perfect_halloween_costume.php) doesn't do it for you. Fine. In that case, Heritage Auction Galleries has another option for your noggin: one of Tom Landry's old fedoras (http://sports.ha.com/common/view_item.php?SaleNo=716&LotIdNo=10001&txtSearch=Dallas%20Cowboys&hdnSearch=true&type=PR-PRTE090209), this one circa 1980-something. Heritage's Noah Fleisher sends word that the trademark hat'll be amongst a handful of Dallas Cowboys items up grabs in the auction house's October Signature Sports Memorabilia Auction (http://sports.ha.com/common/view_item.php?SaleNo=716&LotIdNo=10001&txtSearch=Dallas%20Cowboys&hdnSearch=true&type=PR-PRTE090209). At the moment, it's currently sitting at the $650 mark, but it'll no doubt go for a few dollars more; it's guesstimated to be worth a few thou. Clearly, it's traded hands before -- Landry wrote "Best Wishes, Tom Landry" in the headband -- though it is possible he just liked to leave himself secret inspirational messages.

These were common back in the mid 90's but you don't see them much anymore, but I have the Monsters of the gridiron cards that came out around Halloween one year that I think it was COKE put out. The set has Emmitt in it with his face painted pretty cool set.
I've also got a Plaque from the ring of honor ceremony where Emmit, Troy, and Mike we're inducted into the ring of honor.
and of course my Paver from the new stadium...

I used to write letters to Tom Landry when I was a wee lad...
He used to write me back and sent me an autographed football of the '72 Cowboys SB Champs...
I still have the football, but my parents don't know what they did with the letters he sent...
Still my most prized possession and not for sale at any price...

i don't have any really unusual cowboys stuff. just the usual replica shirt, cap and i have a cheap watch with the star on it i wear everyday.
my most prized memorabilia item is unsurprisingly celtic related. i have the 1997-98 celtic away shirt "the bumblebee top"
http://www.classicfootballshirts.co.uk/images/Celtic-97-Away.jpg
the reason its so prized is its signed by every member of the celtic squad that stopped rangers winning ten consecutive titles. celtic won 9 leagues in a row back in the 60's into the 70's and rangers having won the league 9 years running were going to better that. because of my age i wasn't old enough to understand what was happening the last time we had won the league so this is really special to me
