Cool eBay/Football story

Thanks, Mike. Here are some updated photos.

Rob- I was the underbidder on that pennant. I'm starting to learn that I am the underbidder on many of the things you win. It's a pretty cool pennant. I would have pushed you higher, but I felt guilty about collecting SCU's main rival.

And... one more, because, why not? You guys seem to appreciate this kind of stuff and I don't get to show it very often. Other people just don't understand. Collecting this stuff is like meditation for me.

All kinds of fun things in here, like a piece of goal post from the 1936 Little Big Game, SCU vs. Santa Clara Disney character tickets, a 1910ish post card with a student talking about the baseball team playing the Oakland Oaks.

There is also a 1925 SCU vs. USC field pass from a Santa Clara coach, with notes on the back, including the fact that M. Morrison (John Wayne) was injured and could not play.

I missed out on a 1938 (or maybe it was 1937) Sugar Bowl ticket a week or so ago. It got rather expensive, probably due to the LSU connection.

Wow Marc...Beautiful room. So much football history in there. Definite awe inspiring collection. Thanks for sharing.

Sorry...I've been selling off my baseball pennants to expand my football collection so I've had a little extra in the paypal account and have been pretty aggressive lately. The good news is...well for everyone else out there...not so much for me...is that the funds are drying up...so it's back to picking my battles for now.

Great collection and beautifully displayed. Thanks for posting the photos.

Maybe I should start collecting my alma mater along with the SF Giants.

Yeah, that’s all I need!

Thanks Marc! Made my day. I am struggling with mixed emotions, my beautiful daughter is getting married on the 19th so we have spent the last three weeks moving stored items out of my study,

I can now begin to fix it up but losing my baby although to a great guy has been getting tougher and tougher as stuff moves out to their new house. Actually more than furniture has been moved out. Who knew flowers and a photographer cost so much? Not to mention the reception! Oh and a new refrigerator and stove and...........
