I'll have to dig through some boxes to see if I can find the LWT 1990 final four hat my Dad had. I also have some late 80's early 90's tshirts. I have these in my office at work, which were all my Dad's. Nothing valuable on the market but invaluable to me.

Thanks for sharing these pics. My dad had all of those except the chair. I always loved that first one - was framed similarly and hung on his office wall forever. He's still around - wonder where it is today...
 
I had a lot of the aforementioned things over the years - probably had a full case of the 1990 Coke bottles. Not sure where those are at.

Aside from a copy of “You Dropped It, You Pick It Up” (which is valuable for sentimental reasons AND because people pay ridiculous amounts for it on eBay - who knew?), this is probably my most prized possession. I got it in 1990 when we stayed at the same hotel as the team at the first round of the NCAA tournament. I was 12 that year - the players couldn’t have been more awesome with my sister and I.

Here's one of my favorites. It may not have been official GT licensed merchandise, but it means a lot to me.
Although I was no daughter, sir, my parents dressed me in white and gold around 1971.
No idea how this or the Braves uniform was kept all these years, but I'm glad they did.
Mostly, it's a reminder of how grateful I am to my dad (Techsamillion, RIP) chose to become a GT sidewalk fam and instilled in me love for the Jackets and hate for all things ugag!

An INDIRECT associated GT item that I have and treasure - sorry no pic - is a cracked and stained diner style heavy porcelain coffee mug that Tommy Klemis (sp?), of Junior's Grill, gave me when I graduated.

Last time I ate at Junior's on North Avenue, before I graduated in Spring 1983, I went in and Tommy came over to take my order. I told him I was graduating, and he congratulated me, and I asked him if I could have a coffee mug as a momento. He said sure and came back with a brand new one. I said thanks, but that I would rather have and old, cracked and stained "warhorse" coffee mug, so he brought over a rack full, fresh out of the dish washer, and let me pick one out.

I don't drink out of it, but I keep it on my desk with pens and pencils and other miscellaneous stuff in it.

It is a daily reminder of GT, Junior's, Tommy and all my friends and good times at GT.

I love this one. Junior's at the old location was so great and Tommy was the one of the kindest people in my memory. I hesitate to ask where he might be today.

I think he is still living, but I saw him and talked to him briefly, some years back, at Perimeter Presbyterian Church. Same old Tommy, warm and friendly, but he was not in good health.

Country Brook flor me. I loved Junior's and was sad when I heard it closed.

I have several cool game programs from the 50's /60s (great artwork), a signed Roger Kaiser basketball and a B-ball Finals t-shirt from '06.--among other things

I have a few of those, too. I'll see if I can post some pics.
