Indiana University Basketball Memorabilia
I couldn’t reasonably find these a home on another page…simply put, this is the General bucket of IU basketball memorabilia. Still, nothing but 5-star prospects here!
Item: 5x Indiana Hoosiers NCAA Champions Basketball Display
Unique basketball (very heavy — 6 pounds) on a display stand featuring a replica of the court in Assembly Hall, commemorating Indiana’s five national championships. Seems to be made of polished stone with inlays. The detail, quality, and craftsmanship is incredible. The person I acquired this from received it as a gift around 2013 from a memorabilia dealer and believes it may have been a sample made that was never produced on a larger scale and sold. I’ve only seen one other like it, and it was a made to look more like a basketball (orange in color) and didn’t come with the display stand pictured here.
Estimated Value: Never seen another…so I have no idea!

Item: Treasure Me Dolls Limited Edition Bookend/Bust of Coach Bob Knight (IU Indiana University Hoosiers)
Estimated Value: $75-$100
Sometimes it’s tough being a collector. Made by the same folks that crafted the Bob Knight doll and limited to 2500 pieces, this isn’t the most common piece. After purchasing this, I anxiously awaited its arrival in the mail, only to find it had a broken nose. This had to have occurred prior to shipping, because I didn’t find a booger or anything in the box. I’m sure this bust didn’t get in a fight with Keady because we all know who would have won that fight, but I’m guessing it was from the head butt with Sherron. Yeah, that sounds about right.
