What if Antiques Road Show met Pawn Stars, then American Pickers hitched a ride and they set the GPS to 4 Yawkey Way?

Well, something like that will happen at the Boston Globe headquarters on April 28.

Boston.com is holding a Boston baseball memorabilia show from noon to 3 p.m., and we want you to be a part of it.

Do you have a ball autographed by The Kid? Perhaps a vintage baseball card of the Babe in a Boston uniform? Something even more unusual or unique, or maybe a hand-me-down souvenir that you just don't know what it might be worth or where it came from?

We're bringing in sports memorabilia expert Phil Castinetti of Sportsworld in Saugus to appraise Boston baseball memorabilia items and discuss the stories behind them.

Want in on the action? Space is limited, so we're asking for photos and description of items in advance and we'll send invitations by April 20. Cell-phone photos are acceptable. Just go here to submit a photo or description or both.

Watch the video above to see Castinetti's recent trip to the home of super-collector Phil Dunlavey. Check out what's already been submitted by readers on our special gallery here.
