The six-time Grand Slam winner told Southwark Crown Court he would hand them over " tomorrow" if he had access to them, as a trial into his alleged failure to declare assets continues.
Mr Becker, 54, was declared bankrupt in 2017, with nine trophies and medals among assets he is accused of failing to declare.
He denies 24 charges against him.
The German former world Number One told The Court he has sold his properties to help fix his financial situation and he owned " lots" of trophies and memorabilia from his career, but some are now missing.
He Said : " For The Player , it's about winning the title. The Trophy is not so much when you are playing.
" Nowadays I Wish I have them to show To My children. "

The All England Lawn Tennis Cup is around 60cm (24in) by 30cm, but The Winner takes home a " replica that is much smaller, perhaps half the size or even smaller than that" he explained.
Becker said the Australian Open " is a big tournament to win it, but is the smallest of The Trophies , adding that star players " in effect. . Made fun of them".
He also told The Court fellow champion Roger Federer had " Made a complaint many times" about one trophy, which led to them enlarging the version winners take home.
Mr Becker said: " Obviously what you receive on The Court is not what you keep. What you keep is usually given to your agent or manager, they take it and you usually are travelling to another tournament. "
He added he knows he gave a President's Cup trophy to His Mother .
Some of his trophies have been auctioned off for £700,000 to pay off his debts and he has put out several appeals in an attempt locate those that are missing.
Among the places that have been contacted are major tennis associations, halls of fame and museums, but Mr Becker said he is " not in a better position today" to say where they are.
The 24 charges he has been accused of include:
The trial, which is expected to last up to three weeks, continues.
