My favorites (I have a decent sized collection): 1999-2000 signed Rockets mini-ball (Dream, Barkley, Francis, Cat, etc) 99-00 signed Rockets Pennant (minus Francis) 99-00 signed self-made 8x10 Team Collage (Barkley, Dream, Francis, Cat) Barkley Autographed pencil drawing (signed "Best Wishes") Dream Autographed pen and ink drawing Cat signed pencil drawing Bryce Drew signed pencil drawing Barkley signed 8x10 (pic with me, Barkley, and my little brother) Dream signed 8x10 (pic with me, Dream, and my little brother) Calvin Murphy signed 8.5 x 11 game card Dream + Calvin signed 2000 edition Blastoff game-mag Cat, Michael Dickerson signed screenshots (had no photos) 200+ Cat cards 400+ Barkley Cards [...] The drawings are my favorite, the reaction they gave me on them was the best part. The 99-00 team 8x10 was cool because I had a friend that worked for the Rockets help me get it signed and the players asked where it was from and when he told them that I made it (I was 15 at the time -- made with PhotoDeluxe..cheap Photoshop...on a 300mhz Cyrix-based system... it took a while) and they were impressed. The Cat and Dickerson signed screenshots were cool because they asked for a copy (which I gave them). I also went to the Rocky Mnt Revue where I took photos and had him sign it and he has a copy.
I have way to much to list. I have 20+ jerseys - One of them is Official 15+ hats, most of them I have retired Blankets, pillows, hundreds of tshirts.

I just mostly have t-shirts and things. For my brithday, my dad sent me some Rockets under-armor, which was part of a pretty cool gift.
Kind of off topic a bit.....but I was just in a convenience store paying for gas (51 dollars worth - OUCH), and I saw a guy with a LIME GREEN basketball jersey on. Upon further investigation, it said ROCKETS all over it...literally...in a darker green with a white outline. It also had the last Rockets logo on it, very small, in random places on the jersey. It was the ugliest piece of Rockets apparel I have ever seen. Lime green??? Where did that come from?
