Anybody collect or sport any gear to represent their team? For exaple; I have many of the things my dad collected for me when I was young - he gave them to me just before he passed away. He had kept John Hannah & Steve Grogan 'authentic' jerseys for me as well as football cards, bobblehead dolls, Superbowl pragams and stuff like that. My son will be the heir to the collection at some point. I have gotten him a complete set of Topps NFL Cards every year for Christmas since his birth. They all sit in the collection, unopened in their boxes. A GREAT deal of other things have been added to the collection over the last decade during the Patriots successes. How about you guys?

I have a Howie Long jersey and a autographed Tim Brown game (not game used) helmet. If they weren't gifted to me from well meaning relatives, I'd have nothing other than a couple of t-shirts and a hat. I'm not big on memorabilia of any kind.

My most prized sports possession is a university of Houston authentic basketball jersey signed by Akeem Olajuwon and Clyde drexler.

Got a few jerseys, t-shirts and sweatshirts. Of course I have 6 different Terrible Towels. But my favorite piece of "memorabilia" is the 14x11 framed picture I created while running QA tests on my former company's wide format printer.

Here's the picture. It hangs in my living room.

That's really cool. You could frame it and it would look great on a wall or next to one of your 27 televisions.

I only have 16 tvs but I hear you. Though I did just put one in the attic because I could not find an outlet and cable input for it. I can still dream....

I've got plenty of sports gear, I've always been that kind of person. I have a ton of hats and I just bought a Nationals spring jacket because it was $20 at Modell's for Christmas. But I'm not big on autographed memorabilia. I still like jerseys, but I can't justify buying jerseys on a jizz-mopper salary. I'd really like to get a Caps jersey, but can't justify the money for the five times (at most) I'd wear it during a season.

Nationals store still selling this for $50. Rack me.



For jerseys, I have a Tony Amonte Blackhawks jersey, the old third style they used to wear (the one at the bottom):



Home Flyers Lindros jersey:



I also have a green Michigan State road hockey jersey from 1997 which I can't find in a google search.

Not much of a collector. I've got a few Padres 1998 WS t-shirts, a couple of programs from Tony Gwynn's HOF induction (which we went to), a foul ball I caught (OK picked up on the bounce) off Yorvit Torrealba's bat during Greg Maddux's 300th win at PacBell Park, a lot of old Padre cap-day caps, including one with 5 "Goose Saved the Game" pins that they used to give out in 1984 whenever he had a save.

Some old autographs I got when I was a kid got lost somewhere, including Rick Barry and about half the Cleveland Browns team, including Leroy Kelly, that I got when they practiced at my HS.

lots of signed Boise State stuff



second season autographed Elway card



edgerrin james autographed jersey from his Colts days

rookie autographed JJ Hardy baseball card and a few other odds and ends

I have a pretty good collection of Packer stuff- mostly autographed 8x10s. I've got probably 75 of them, with the best one being an autographed Starr jersey (every one I have I've had signed in person). Once I'm done renovating my basement and get them placed back on display I'll throw some pics up on here.

Ton of shit, some in the attic which is a crime...

Starr wasn't the best QB, but he was a great leader

I used to work in a gun store downtown and Jerry Kramer used to be a pretty regular patron....I worked in the gunsmithing area when he brought down a 30-06 to have some work done on it.....I went out and bought one of these photos and when he came back to pick up his gun I had him sign it



I know it's around here somewhere
