What Lions Memorabilia have you obtained and how?

[WhiteLionFeva]

I've still got two Fitzroy FC cans of beer. Had a bottle of Port too but it went under at a dinner party a few years back. Kept the label though.

 

[Back2Back2Back]

I'm bored, so I present to you my collection from over the years. The back 3 all have the premiership team signatures from that year on them, and are retired from wear. I bought the '09 one as a protest a year or two after the paddlepop was introduced - I forget what year now. Latest edition is from this morning, in the lower right corner.

On reflection now I'm fairly sure I have a kids sized '97 jumper in one of those vacuum storage bags upstairs too. I used to wear it to footy training as a kid.

Wot!

No PaddlePop?

I’ve got a Simon Black signed betting slip – in the preseason of 2002 I put $5 that Blacky would win the Brownlow, I think it paid around 45-1 (or similar). He used to get coffee near where I worked so I got him to sign the slip a week before the first round.
Took some convincing to get the lady in the betting shop to let me keep the slip after I cashed in.
Now framed and has pride of place on the wall.

 

[QAFL_Fan]

can't believe he was paying 45's!

 

[Chasing the Dream]

can't believe he was paying 45's!

Way unders!!

Have also added 2015 Home and Away jumpers to this collection, and awaiting the release of the clash jumper in order to make a purchase

That is awesome... you are right, the best bits of memorabilia come when you least expect them.

Very random reply and on a Lions board.
But reading this I can vouch for this after a recent eagles purchase.

Very rare do we get eagles gear now without the whole mob seeing it.
But being first in was a good feeling and been a while since I had that feelin.

Have just added the following to my collection:

Beau McDonald player issued clash jumper from around 2005-06 - $75 from Ebay.

Was shattered to miss out on the recent Lions' auctions involved Merrett and McGrath's indigenous jumpers - someone picked up Ash's for $170 - very jealous!

Still my favorite clash jumper, & one that at least half a dozen fans wear to home games. Had a beer or 3 with a couple of good blokes cos of it.

I've got a pair of boots signed by Jonathan Brown - We got it when we bought our car in NSW. My parents spoke to the car guy, and I was of course in QLD at the time, so dad told him I am a massive fan of the Lions. He happened to be Jonathan Brown's fiancee's father. My parents left our details and one day I was home alone in the holidays and a package arrived, wadyaknow! I was so happy!

Today I got my old Lions guernsey signed by Daniel Rich and Josh Drummond! Hoping to get some more signatures for the guernsey then put it in a frame.

What memorabilia have you obtained over the years?

I have an old Brisbane Bears jumper (the one with all the B's and VFL logo - no sponsors logo) which I had signed by Vossy, Aker and Black when they did a "three kings tour" of Perth. Brad Hardie has also signed it.

I don't remember the Lions ever wearing the one on the left?

Yeah, I considered burning it.

Yeah, I considered burning it.

What's stopped you?

 

[Freakie]

What's stopped you?

Lack of matches. Both of the burning kind and the AFL kind in Victoria

 

[blynd_freddie]

One of only 50 books - The 2001 season/players/PREMIERSHIP and includes the listed side with all players and Leigh's signatures - won it in a Lions function raffle.

Not sure that it warrants it's own thread, but I wanted to post that I am very happy to have acquired $72 on eBay for my match-worn, signed, debut season Patrick Karnezis guernsey.

It was a paddle-pop too
