Found Holy Grail of LSU Bowl Programs

[herkyhawkeye]

There is a very wide range of values.My most desireable focus is on bigten memorabilia, Specifically the alma mater, Iowa. Unfortunately for me, Iowa may be one of the most sought after teams. If its iowa, old, and cool, your wallet is going to take a hit.

Is there much SEC stuff out there? I never see it up North so its hard to gauge.

There are quite a few schools that have a large number of collectors, many in the SEC. I know LSU stuff brings some high dollars on many items. I don't think I've come across any Iowa items down here. It's good to know that it does bring good money because I am always hitting garage and estate sales.

What to look out for in terms of Iowa are the homecoming badges. That is what commands some big money for Iowa. Have a very large collector base.

I would love to see what college football relics we could dig up on this site.

I've been looking to figure out where to get some info on this piece. Anyone ever dealt with pre WW2 College Football trophies?

I picked this item up last August. A trophy presented to University of Wisconsin Player Guy Sundt. Presented to "The most useful man" 1921. Was 1st team All Big Ten in 1921 and HM All American. Later went on to be the AD at Wisconsin. He was the team mvp in 1921 and I think this might have been what was awarded to him. Having a hard time trying to find anything comparable for any college.

Hot Springs Bather,

I'm testing our different theories on the value of the program. I need some major money for two holy grails that dropped into my lap today.

I figured sell this since I just got it in and not attached to it yet.

Wow! I can tell by your past posts how much you love the Tigers, there must be something REALLY good out there for you to give it up!

Good luck and let us know what treasures you have found. I am guessing a helmet from the Chinese Bandits era?

Good luck!

I wish, but it is something close to that and about the same rarity (same team). That is the lesser of the two items I am getting, the other is close to one of a kind and very historically important!!!!!!

Go get it! I picked up a 1960 Dallas Cowboys media guide at a great price today and it may be my final purchase for the week!

I also mailed my daughter's tuition, fees and room & board check for college today as well as her sorority dues and her honor sorority dues. Whew! Sometimes I wish I drank. Heck we may be eating a lot of sandwiches for the next few weeks.
