I actually do have a couple of game worn football items and would like to eventually have more.

By the way, thanks to everyone for the participation in this thread. It is a lot of fun for me. You guys are a good combination of knowledgeable and laid back. It is fun learning your collecting stories and outlooks. As we go through life, we all have the fingerprints of others all over us. I choose to think our collecting lives are no different.

For years I only collected cards but more recently began buying other items and finding those much more interesting.

The bulk of my "non-card" collecting is in 2 areas:
1) Team signed baseballs from historic events/teams such the US Tours of Japan, Integration and WWII baseball.

2) Signed line-up cards - Every game each manager writes one along (with 2 carbon copies). It's a pretty unique idea linked to a very specific moment in baseball history, and one that seems to have a pretty limited following (thankfully).

In the word of memorabilia, there are so many different interesting directions one can pursue.

This is my personal favorite Chargers Pennant.

Here's another that's pretty nice...

Bittersweet, as they just confirmed their move to LA (BOO!) But hope this helps, none the less!

Wow, those are nice! Thanks for seeing them.

I am an out of state Chargers fan, but feel for the fans in SD. I am concerned they aren't wanted in LA and detest the idea of rebranding.

As a lifelong Rams fan...Welcome back to L.A. May your first season in the City of Angels go as swimmingly as ours.

Here's another rare Chargers pennant that went for a great price due to minor damage. Looked to be in great condition otherwise. The hole gave me cold feet though so I passed.

Wish I had seen this one before it was too late....

Both are cool pennants and both can be had much cheaper than being asked for in those listings. I picked up the first one a while back for $60. The seller might want to add a "best offer" option if he wants to sell that any time soon...especially with the missing tip.

I'm surprised to see that one of that version recently sold for $350 though. It was in much better condition. But it's still not a $350 pennant. It wouldn't take you long to find one that could be had for less than $100.

The helmet pennant can be had for $50 or less most times.

This person got a pretty good deal, despite the small chunk missing by the tip...
