Fine looking collection, Bob - although I think you'll be in the market for more shelf space.
PS: Love the curtains

Bob -- is the football in that first photo game-used and/or autographed?
Sports can be a peculiar thing. When partaking in fiction, like a book or movie, we adopt a "Willing Suspension of Disbelief" for enjoyment's sake. There's a similar force at work in sports: "Willing Suspension of Rationality". If you doubt this, listen to any conversation between rival team fans. You even see it among fans of the same team. Fans argue over who's the better QB or goalie, and selectively cite stats that support their views while ignoring those that don't.

That football fell into my friend Vic Dougan hands at the end of a game in 2005. He was just leaving when it was tossed up into the stands. He didnt see who threw it. Its not autoed yet. BB

I'm just looking at this thread for the first time. Bob, that is a seriously great collection. I'm specifically taken by the black Lions gym bag with the old school logo. That looks like it is right out of the late'70s or early 80s -- I can remember using those to haul my stuff back and forth to school. Most of mine were a garish green and gold (Windsor High colours, natch), but I would have killed for one of those -- never saw a Lions version until just now.
My ten year old son is already looking like he is going to have a VERY expensive sports memorabilia habit -- I wonder where he got that from?

Thnx for the high praise. I got the black bag from a collector a few months ago and then i see an orange one at a card show. Had never seen them before and then 2 come up. Go figure. Anyways start your son off on the free giveaways first when the RRs start up again. good luck BB
