The Carlton thing that you have

[AndyWalkersGirl]

Just thinking, what is the most bizzarre, coolest, most obsessed etc Carlton thing you have??

For example, we have a Carlton Doorbell, which is pretty cool, because it plays the whole song and annoys everyone in my street.

So i put it to you, what do you have that is cool/boring/unusual/sexy/fun/expensive... etc of Carlton?

[gandaal]

I have a fully signed poster of the 1995 Premiership winning side.

[Jeremias]

I have a fully signed poster of the 1995 Premiership winning side.

Same-I have it framed and hanging on my wall...love it.

Also have a framed Craig Bradley guernsey.

And a framed thing me and my mum made after 1995 with heaps of things about the premiership...

[recently blue]

I still have a handful of turf from the oval the day the Blues kicked the (then) record score of 30.30.210 against the Hawks.

[bluegal1983]

Carlton Team of the Century framed picture was hanging in the billiard room but it got stolen when our house was robbed :mad:

I also have the Kouta cardboard cut-out I bought about 10 years ago. Kouta signed it too :)

I also have Hamill's strapping from his shoulder from a game at Optus Oval in the late 90's. :o LOL don't ask

And to top it all off, my dad has the number plate BLUE 39 from the days of Ang Christou :D

[nicolbolas]

Have a few things, not all weird!!!!!

Bottle opener that plays the theme song when you crack open a stubby.

My bosses got a jumper signed by ratten for my 30th a few years back, and i also have a jumper singed by 87 premiership side. At this years B&F i bought a blanket which is laying in my boys cot. WEG posters from 79, 82, 87 and 95, missed 81

Cheers

[HBF]

Certainly my favourite piece of Carlton memorabilia is my Team of the Century Print which will hang proudly in my Lounge Room, as soon as it has been repainted.

Also have all of the Weg posters framed, and a lot of little things that i have collected over the years.

One piece that I have that I am very proud of is a picture of some of the boys on an end of season trip with the Great Train Robber, Ronald Biggs.

[Djibril Cisse]

A painting of Kernahan and Parkin holding up the 95 Premiership cup standing on the podium after the Grand Final, looks very very good.

[AndyWalkersGirl]

I'm hoping to marry a Carlton supporter, that way our house can have carlton memorabilia hanging up everywhere - i'd love it if i were allowed to spend heaps on CFC stuff :)

Probably my best thing all round, somethign that i always get a laugh when i see, is that after St. Kilda had two consecutive years as Wooden Spooners, Robert Harvey was doing a signing session, and Mum went into KMart and bought a $1 wooden spoon, and we lined up, and got Harvey to sign it.

I think he was quite offended, but he did it in good spirits, smiling... i reckon its' worth a fortune - a brownlow medalist who has signed the wooden spoon when his club finished last 2 years in a row....

Infact, I might head back to the St.Kilda board and ask them all how much they think i'd get for it.... :p

Maybe you should sell it to JeffDunne or The Fireman. I'm sure they'd appreciate it.

Yeah i have the Jesalenko mark of the century shiny collectors card, which i'm sure would be worth a bit.

It was only 1 of 5 made, and the only time i ever bought a pack of AFL cards years ago, had that one in it.

I've got a picture of MYSELF with biggsy, and a peice of paper which say To DJ Come on you Mighty Blues, (signed) Ronnie Biggs.
I remember the evening we went round to his place in santa maria (suburb in rio) we were the only people there just me my missus of the time, and Ron. His maid was given the night off for some reason and he usually does a BIG spread for his visitors but that night I only got a bloody roast beef sandwich. However, he did have plenty of booze in the fridge (he drank Antarctica, local brew) and I can honestly say when we left about 6hrs later we were both drunk as skunks and there was not a single drop of Antarctica left in his fridge.

[DIG]

My grandpa's been supporting Blues for over 70 years, has all sorts of stuff - mainly junk but i should sort through it with him. I know he does have a beautifully silver framed photo of a Carlton side from the 1920s on a bedroom wall, not sure if it was signed or not by the captain or anyone, should check.

I guess the quirkiest thing i can come up with is that I've still got my 1986 membership card for some reason.

[McKinleyISgood]

i have a signed, limited edition, framed scott camporeale photo with a certificate of authenticity - i'll sell it to you for $1 if u want it lol. ive got that and all the stuff a normal supporter has i supose

[CattyBossDog]

All I can say is...thank God it's over and I don't have to do it again. Easily the hardest thing I've had to do, but I reckon I could stand up in front of the united nations and give a 4 hour speech about something I know nothing about after doing that.

Better make sure the Best Man is on his best behaviour on your wedding day. I went to a wedding a while ago and the BM's speech was a shocka - basically callled the bride a ********.

Might pay to get someone to have a look at the speech before he reads if at your wedding.

You should probably go to hospital and get that checked :(

[Smokey_22]

A rough sheet of paper (the only thing i had at the time) with the autographs of every one of the carlton squad that came to the session (about 30 or so, earlier this year). Even Denis wrote me a little message. The one and only time ive ever seen them in person :(

Smokey - that was really nice reading that :) People like you give me new hope in supporters :) It's nice to see people appreciate the simple, little things. Good on you :thumbsu:

[griggisalegend]

when i went down to training earlier this year i had a scrapbook i made that had heaps of pictures of carlton players that i wanted to get signed.
Stupid thing is, that the front cover i used only had a picture of fevola on it. (and im not a huge fan of the fev)
So when i went and got it signed, he did this massive signature with "xox" down the bottom of it
Its now hanging up in the center of my carlton wall under a massive '95 weg. :p

but, obviousley the most prized thing is my guernsy, because every time i look at jamo + griggas signatures i remember the convos they had with me (coz i have the number 40)
good times:D

[NWTYRX]

I just have my Carlton White Away top, a couple of scarfs, a picture of the 1921 team, and also a painting of Sticks and Parko on the dias holding the cup in 1995

[Team Mo']

Signed Carlton geurnsey, Home jumper, 99' top? 95' top? Stcks of signed balls, Jesalenko picutre signed, beanies, scarfs, caps, and the team polo

But i still don't understand the thread??

[The Cranium]

I have Fremantle Toilet Paper......

Oh sorry Carlton stuff.

Four replica Premiership Cups, WEGS, Playing Cards, 1979 GF Footy Record signed, heaps of signed jumpers and my fav being "You be the judge" framed poster of Harmes et el on the boundary

[eddie betts u star]

I have a signed Carlton flag, i just got this year, Its signed by 31 of the current players, although i cant find Fev, Eddie, or Chris Judd, the 3 players that their signatures would mean the most to me : (

[walshy93]

Turf form the Centre Square at OO, after the last game.

Still alive and well :thumbsu:

[sherb]

I have a massive - and I mean massive - scrapbook my father did of the 1947 football season.

In that season, the Blues won the flag by a point over Essendon, with Fred Stafford kicking a goal in the dying seconds to secure the win.

Bert Deacon I think also won the Brownlow.

Move on to when I was a young fella and my Dad and I did an equally comprehensive scrapbook of the 1970 football season. And we all know what happened that year. :p

So they are priceless things that are very dear in terms of both my late Dad and also the Carlton FC.

[EddieBettsIsAChamp]

Eddie Bear wins hands down. :)

[Faz 2000]

I don't have anything too amazing, but what I've got, I like.

I have my Carlton scarf from the early 80s when I first went to the footy with my dad. I utterly refuse to upgrade it, no matter how many rips it has in it for pies it has absorbed.

I also just got a little jumper with a personal message and signature from Juddy to my son for his first birthday (which was yesterday). My wife will frame it.

[whippersnipper]

Turf form the Centre Square at OO, after the last game.

Still alive and well :thumbsu:
Haha, I have the same thing in a vegemite jar.

Ahh, what a day that was. I remember everyone standing in the centre square after the game and some ******** using his car keys to try and lift the whole thing out of the ground. Someone piped up and said "You do realise we still have to train here!" Then some drunk bastard put his arm around me and the two of us started singing the song. Everyone else joined in and there was about 150 other drunk bastards belting out the song as well.

Good times and sad times.

Pfffft.

[MyBloodIsBlue]

I've written this in some other thread I think! I'm a hoarder of everything Carlton - from B&F's, functions, records signatures as a kid etc...and my family gives me their old stuff too.

I have (I believe) every Carlton premiership record since the 50's and membership cards and medallions from the 50's up until now. I'd love to frame the cards and medallions up until 1999 and then start again and would love a family member in the future to make another frame with the next 50 or 100 years!

That sounds awesome MBIB, but my advice is not to put the cards in a frame (or anything like posters etc) cause I believe that devalues 'their worth' (not that you would ever sell them or anything)

You should actually consider getting some of your 'collection' insured, I think they could be worth a bit, and it would be terrible if some lowlife broke into ur place and stole them, or ur house burnt down etc ...

I've thought of that CP, I'll definitely have to get them valued and insured.
The main reason I want to get them framed is so they're on display I currently have them in boxes and it's a shame people can't see them. I'd only frame them if they are completely undamaged and not permanantly stuck in the frame. I know a framer so hopefully he can help me out.

Anyone thinking of stealing them...my name is Bruce and I live in a really rough suburb and I own a shotgun called Boris :D
