The Ryan is from '68 and carries a solid value if in decent condition. I'd browse through just for nostalgia's sake.

Not a great market here in Virginia or I'd be in trouble...LOL!!! I have tons of auto stuff from other players.
Yes, another thing to throw in a bomb to you (no Lofton, but I'm sure I have some mets autos!). I did the player collection for a while of Dan Marino and Ted Williams, but only kept a couple autos and patches of each. I started an NFL HOF autograph collection a couple of years ago where my goal was to pick up one auto of every player. So far I'm at 131. Here's a couple pics of some of personal collection stuff.

Met the likes of Super Mario, Gretzky, Shaq and so on.
Lots of cards also stocked away.

Here is one we got just a few short months before he died, in person. I will die with it hopefully as no intention of ever selling.
That is a fantastic piece of memorabilia. I'd do the same.
