H2o Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 In my line of work, and the position I am in, I have dealt with a lot of outside companies over the years. I have built a lot of relationships with these people at these other companies. Yesterday one of those companies took me and another guy out for lunch. After lunch was over the one of the company reps told me he had something for me and to follow him over to his vehicle. He opens his SUV, pulls out this beauty, and says this is for you. An autographed Jim Kelly Buffalo Bills jersey. I was stunned. I've been given all kinds of merchandise before. Company hats, t-shirts, lunch boxes, Yeti cups, but never anything like this. By far the coolest thing I have ever been gifted by a company I use as a supplier. Yesterday was a good day. 13 29 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Over 29 years of fanhood Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 That definitely exceeds the $35 gift limit in the corporate handbook 😉 3 15 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBrownBear Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 Unfortunately, you missed the part where the company rep signed it in his car before heading in for lunch. JK. That's an awesome gift. 2 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teef Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 it means a lot when someone goes out of their way for you like this. i did some work for a family member of an employee as a favor, and in no way expected anything in return. a few months later, he hands me a signed josh allen bills helmet. i'm looking at it in my office right now. 6 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WotAGuy Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 (edited) I would have bet $100 the kicker was going to be his milf wife was wearing it with nothing underneath and he said you could have the jersey if you could get it off her.

Did any kind of proof of authenticity come with it? I know in most cases people would want that. With that said, in the situation you explained how it happened doesn't seem like it wouldn't be authentic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need I say more? 🤷♀️ Side note: went to lunch today and passed an art gallery I’ve been passing for years, always looking for something special on display. Nothing ever awed me…until today. Today they had amazing blown glass angels. My wife LOVES blown glass, and she LOVES angels. I’ve never seen them all wrapped up in one! There is an angel in every room of our house. This was not a signed Kelly jersey, but a pretty cool early Christmas present and housewarming gift (we close on a new house 4 doors away tomorrow). This will be the first thing we move in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
