Melbourne Memorabilia

[melbournemartin]

I thought I'd take a break from the usual "Who drafts whom" discussion of the post-season.

What pieces of Melbourne (or indeed any club/sport) memorabilia do you own?

[Supermercado]

Two signed and framed Philthy trading cards.

No really.

[melbournemartin]

-Signed David Neitz thing ('tis like a plastic thing but not a trading card)

-1999 framed jumper signed by all of the Melbourne players (Love this one. Probably not worth too much because we were shit that year and it wasn't an official one with a certificate of authenticity. Simply bought the jumper and paid 5 bucks to have it passed around the table and get signed. Ripping stuff!)

-Melbourne heritage collage framed thing (This one was from a memorabilia shop so it has the certificate. It's from the 1996 100 years of football thing. Contains: 2 x Melbourne heritage coin, signed David Neitz select card from 1996, great photo of a Melbourne match on the MCG in 1907, photo containing old MFC teams, flags, player cards which is really cool because I'm always finding more little things in it)

Bit of a God wasn't he huh? :p

I am going to get a massive print from The Age or Sun of Newton's Mark of the Year and hopefully get him to sign it (might have to stalk him) and then frame it :)

Cards signed of Woey, Neitz x 3, the ox, peter vardy (fav), rookie cards signed by brock and col

Footy got signed on 2000 B&F night by woey, whitey, neitz and ND might be worth something?

Gee, some decent buys there!

I also have a Melbourne football that I won at Knox City in a handball competition for under 10s. I was 12 at the time. Jeff Farmer, Guy Rigoni and Angelo Lekkas were there. Farmer and Rigoni signed my footy (Lekkas refused :p). I remember Jeff was asked if he'd ever want to return home and he said that he missed his family but loved Melbourne (city and club) too much to leave...:( I later dug it out and got it signed by Bartram and Warnock at the 06 Sandy Grand Final.

Also have an autograph book from various football camps containing a couple of Melbourne players (Leoncelli and Jolly notably).

Brillaint old woollen jumper signed by Neita early on. Way too many posters. And the table centrepiece at the 2006 Brownlow Medal with all the Dees players that were there's autographs. Same with the Rising Star, except with autographs from Petterd, Jones, Bate and Bartram.

You went to the Brownlow? Expensive much?
