Does anyone own any unusual pieces of Boro memorabilia

I had this painted by an artist on a 70 by 50 inch portrait many moons ago. I need to invest in a new frame.
 
My Grandparents lived in Slaggy Island back in the day and my Granny was always involved with stuff going on at The Peter's Church and School. One one occasion she was asked to organise a Pie and Pea Supper for a young kid who was good at football but his family couldn't afford any kit. She duly organised said Pie and Pea Supper which raised enough to get the kid his first proper kit and football boots. Years later after my Dad had organised moving her into Nazareth House and saving any personal stuff to hand down the line. Following a conversation we had about footy and stuff one day, he went upstairs on a rummage and when he came back down he showed the the stuff my Granny had kept over the years, a receipt for the pies and peas, a record of the takings for the night and a thank you letter from Head Master Fr Skillen, passing on the thanks from the Mannion family for buying their son Wilf his first proper football kit.
 
I used to work with the brother of the bloke that did the player caricatures for the programmes (91-92?).

He gave me a couple of proofs, Bernie Slaven and Robbie Mustoe. Robbie has signed his.

I must dig them out put a photo on here
 
Limited edition shirt from the opening of the Riverside game v Sampdoria.

A concept shirt that was made and used for a vote on what our shirt should be. This was one of the losers so never made it to mass production.

A Carling Cup winners set where the players are little figurines with massive heads. No idea what that's all about.
 
I have an official team sheet for our game vs Man City when we won 8-1, signed by the Goal Machine himself, Afonso Alves, who scored a hat trick that day.

It, like him, most be valued at millions!!
