The University of Nebraska's former Sports Information Director, Don "Fox" Bryant I have heard has a tremendous collection of sports memorabilia including a vast array of college football memorabilia (he did tell me he has one of Alabama coach Bear Bryant's famous hats)...he was Nebraska's SID through Nebraska's glory days of the 1970s-90s. Prior to him becoming the UNL SID he wrote for the Lincoln newspaper and had a regular column on the Lincoln Chiefs minor league baseball team...I have seen a few of his items from that collection, but have heard that he has a lot of it. There is another collector here in town who has a lot of Lincoln minor league memorabilia who is not "online" with it also.

They built a history wall at the old Sherman Field when they refurbished it last year and they used a lot of my collection...they also used stuff from the collection of the two guys I mentioned above. There is a baseball that looks like George Sosnak may have painted it and I don't know where that ball resides.
