the brag about your sports memorabilia here thread

[Diomedes]

it's not nit picking at all, they jump out at you

[phillymic2000]

thanks

never seen the natural....you mean the movie has an actual phillies jacket in it?...or that exact style but a different team

its probably nit picking but the only thing i kinda wish was different on it is the pocket outlines...i like the pockets better on the eagles jacket where they are the same material and color as the jacket

Article on the recent counterfeit busts at local flea markets: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20101230/ap_on_bi_ge/us_flea_market_fakes

The article itself is okay, the comments that ensue are spot on and hilarious:

Bullcrap, this article is nothing more than the media schilling for big business. For example: Just about every computer you buy comes from Taiwan. Companies like Dell or Acer just slap their name on the box and it's suddenly "brand name" and not a "knockoff". All of these recalls for supposedly safe products, everything ranging from toys and food to cars and appliances. And we're to believe that big business wares are the trustworthy route?

All they want you to do is be afraid to give money to the little guy trying to make it and keep funneling cash to them so they can keep buying Yachts and Mansions.

You know it's nothing more than a scare tactic when they say: "Terrorism".

Shoot, buying gas at your local station funds terrorism because most oil comes from the Middle East. Buying Chinese products from Walmart supports communism.

Where are the reports telling us not to buy from Shell or Walmart?

terrorist don't need to sell sunglasses and handbags, compared to what the US and the CIA pay out, it is chump change. It interests me to know that 1000 items or more carry a jail sentence. We just had a local guy who molested his 6 daughters for 10 years and he got probation and a fine. Glad he wasn't wearing "knock off" oakley sun glasses while he was doing it or he would have got 10 years. most of these vendors are hard working, they pay rent, and sales tax. couldn't we find more constructive things to do with the police department. all of the name brand crap is made in China anyway!!!!!!

If the flea market fake merchants gave kickbacks to the authorities they would not have a problem.

The title of the article should read "politicians angry about not personally profiting from flea market fake merchandise, send law enforcement officers to deal with the issue".

Mitchell and Ness is starting a 3-day winter sale where everything in the store is 50% off.  They said it's in-store only but you can place phone orders.

[DH]

[Sgt PSN]

Those are pretty cool but I really can't decide if I like any of them enough to hang in my house. 

[ice grillin you]

the answer is no

unless they had one of rick tocchet and all his flyer fights

[SunMo]

i like the reggie one or the flyers one

dutch was my favorite player growing up, but that would be gay to get that one

[phattymatty]

actually the dutch one isn't part of the deal anyway. if you click the link there are like 5 or 6 to pick from.

i ordered it, think it's kinda cool. probably either gonna do the harry one or the reggie one. maybe roy just so i can have my boyfriend chooch on the wall.

i already have that lidge one framed from the newspaper.

Aside from the Phillies Today that I found, I also dug up a few old Eagles Yearbooks, an 86 Eagles team photo and a 93/93 calendar book thingy.  Phillies Today is pretty beat up.  I taped the Eagles team photo to my wall when I was a kid and all 4 corners peeled whenever I took it down.  Eagles yearbooks and the calendar are all in really good shape though. 

 

[ice grillin you]

those are awesome...especially the team photo one...i have a bunch of yearbooks and programs from all the teams but i dont get into them as much as i used to....now you can just google any info you want....one of the downsides of the internet....i do like to occasionally flip thru them tho for the pictures and also the advertisments are pretty cool to look at

i dont know if anyone remembers them but the trading card companies for i think one year or maybe two made these magnets....the front looks just like a football card but the back doesnt have player stats its a magnet....i got a bunch from the gang green days....i love them shteins

now go find me some OG gear or glasses and post them so i can decide if i want them or not
