GOBILLS78 Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 A gallery of the original lithographs was on display either last year or early this year in New York, and that display is now open in Los Angeles.

shrader Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 I had a Bruce Smith "leader of the sack" poster. It was nowhere near as disgusting as that name might sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BUFFALOKIE Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 I had "Kelly's Heroes" on my wall. I also had a "We're talkin proud" banner, and Jimbo autograph my mom got for me when she shared a flight back to B'lo ~ 1992. I have no idea what happened to any of it.

Bullpen Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Had and still have Kelly's Heroes hanging in my bar in my basement. Salvaged it, along with a Kirby Puckett, Tony Gwynn, Shane Conlan and others from my mom's house last time I was back home. Kelly's Heroes and Conlan were the only one's that made the final cut and made up on the wall in the bar. Had the Bermuda Triangle one as well, but I don't think I could handle two posters with Smerlas on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cookiemonster Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 (edited) I still have a Bills 1988/89 Fredonia Training Camp Pennant on my wall, it has, I think, all of the attendees autographs, or at least most of them. I loved Fredonia. Man, you could just walk right up to guys during the breaks, before or after, they were all very approachable. Got a chance to visit with Paul McGuire while he waited for someone to fix his flat tire, great guy, very personable. I had a video camera, and back then they looked like ones that the news stations lug around. Some of the players, most notably Haslett, were looking at me pretty nastily like. I think that they thought I was a reporter or something. I was right up close to Bruce, and he was looking at me like he wanted to wrap that camera around my head, very scary. We now he can do bad things, man. Edited February 23, 2012 by Cookiemonster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thewildrabbit Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 I still have that poster and many others still in frames. In fact I still have an 1987 poster signed by ole Jim hanging on my wall. You know the one where Mark Gastineau #99 is closing in right behind him. It must be somewhat unique because I can find an image of it on the web. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
