KeLLy1278 Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 Anyone here collect? If so, what are some of your most prized Bills related items? I mostly have some signed mini helmets and photos, but I do have an OJ Simpson rookie card, Kelly & Tasker rookies. Have some mini helmets and photos signed by a number of the 90s Bills. Not much of a jersey guy. May need to add something from Josh Allen to the collection. Go Bills! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsFanForever19 Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 One thing that I got about a year ago that I was pretty excited about was an Original 1987 Costacos Brothers 'Machine Gun Kelly' Poster. I spent a really long time looking for one of those in good condition at a decent price. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCal Deek Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 I have a football that OJ signed for me the year he gained 2003 yards. The signature is mostly faded after 50 years, but it’s there. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrags Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 (edited) I’ve got so much stuff I can’t remember all of it. Here’s what can remember. autographed balls by: Allen Kelly Reed Moulds Evans Kelly, Reed, Moulds Poz a few other with misc guys like Nelson, Moats, etc. autographed jerseys: Evans Jackson autographed pics: cj Spiller Kelly Lynch full size helmet autographed by Kelly, Reed, Thomas mini helmets autographed by Poyer Hyde tons of autographed cards from 90s Bills. probably my favorite item is from when I lived in Vegas and ran a restaurant. I happened to have an official NFL “Duke” ball in my trunk at the time. And Stephen Jackson came into my restaurant and ordered about $150 in wings. One of my employees notified me that he was in the restaurant. I gladly comped his entire meal and didn’t feel bad about asking him if he would sign my Ball. He did it gladly. Really cool dude. Deserves more credit than he gets for a fantastic career. Like I said I have tons of stuff, probably leaving out a few things. But off the top of my head that’s what I’ve got.

There’s nothing like getting memorabilia as a kid though. It’s great to be able to go to a signing or just buy it somewhere as an adult but being a kid and getting things like this is on another level.

But all that other stuff I was an “adult”. Think my Kelly ball might be the first real auto I got as an adult. I was probably 23 at the time. I think he was just indicted into the HOF. Can’t remember pretty sure the ball says HOF on it tho. But I personally had these all autographed, or were given to me by someone that personally did. None were bought. I did win a few tho. oh yeah forgot, have a Stevie Johnson jersey, and a Stevie Johnson picture autographed also. and I’ve got a poster sized framed pic of Bruce from when he was on the cover of sports illustrated looking all mean. https://vault.si.com/vault/1991/09/02/lean-mean-sack-machine-a-dedicated-bruce-smith-establishes-a-blistering-pace-for-the-buffalo-bills-in-their-drive-to-another-super-bowl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s great to be able to go to a signing or just buy it somewhere as an adult but being a kid and getting things like this is on another level. As a kid sports memorabilia is amazing but hard to attain as you don't have any money and you're not really meeting any players out and about lol. I started collecting some cool stuff in my late teens and throughout my 20s for the main purpose of having a Bills basement in my house someday. Now that I have that I don't really actively collect anymore and the magic has kinda worn off but it's still fun to check out the memorabilia shops, cool sports bars, and what other people have in their mancaves but I miss the excitement of getting something cool when I was younger. As for me I have: Autographed Kelly and Biscuit jerseys Autographed football from Marv(met him for this and it is personalized) Bunch of autographed and framed photos from Bruce, Thurman, Talley(this one is a piece from the Comeback game, pretty cool) Big framed photo of my avatar pic Nice framed commemorative set of the Bills four Super Bowl tickets Some Sabres stuff too but not as much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Augie Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 I have a wall with nine matted and framed game-day program covers from the early 60’s.

BigDingus Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 I remember having a binder filled with 90's Bills stuff, along with some other random items I've collected over the years. Signed Thurman Thomas Jersey Signed Eric Moulds Rookie card Signed Marv Levy HOF Football And that's about the only ones I remember off the top of my head. Doubt they're worth much, but still cool.

sleeby Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 A bunch of singed 8x10s from the top 12 or so super bowl bills. But I most covet my two original Bells markets whammy weenies my dad brought back from Buffalo when I was about 12. Grew up near rochester. Still shake them some in big games but I don't think they work as advertised; or at least not through the tv. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Jack Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 Most prized item? My 1993 AFC Championship pendant. Bought from someone that used to work in the front office for the Bills. The story I was told was that Mr Wilson gave the employees a choice between getting a ring like the players or a pendant. This person choose a pendant. The face looks just like the rings, it just doesn't have the sides. This is what the face of it looks like. 1993 Buffalo Bills AFC Championship Ring – Gold & Silver Pawn Shop (gspawn.com) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albany,n.y. Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 Back in the day when they sold programs I used to get a program for every game I went to. I have all the home programs from 1991 through 2007 (except one that got stolen inside the stadium when I left my seat for a few minutes). I also have many programs from other seasons. I used to get the media guide from 1986 until they stopped printing them. One of my most prized programs is a free one. (not as good as the old programs they used to sell) I got opening day in Baltimore in 2018. Unfortunately, it's in poor condition because it rained the whole game, but it was the 1st real game for both Josh and Lamar. Both came in in the 2nd half to begin their careers. I also have all 4 of the Bills Super Bowl programs and ticket stubs. I have a lot of Bills ticket stubs. I miss the old days of full sized game day and PRO programs, printed media guides, yearbooks, and printed tickets. Everything is electronic or a worthless handout these days. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I used to try and keep all the free programs and all my ticket stubs too. I even got a ticket stub book to hold them all. Then they switched to the cards, then they switched to ticketless. It’s a shame really. You can get them printed out I think for an extra cost but I think they are cheap paper with no glam to them at all. Not like they used to have. oh, I forgot, I do still have the remnants of the SB credit cards I received when I got my Super Bowl tix in 2021 when we lost to then chiefs in the AFC champ game. Sold my SB tix and took a massive loss on them. At least I have the $500GC tix with the logo on there. Still in my truck to this day, reminding me of all the money I lost on those SB tix.

GASabresIUFan Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 I have a sign in sheet from the 1948 Buffalo Bills (AAFC).

GASabresIUFan Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 Another couple of favorites are Atlanta airport related. I meet OJ on the tram (before he killed Nicole) in the Atlanta airport. He was lost and couldn't find his gate. I escorted him to his gate and he signed my ticket. Another time, I boarded a flight and Leon Seals was in the row next to my mine. Dr. Sack signed my boarding pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I skew heavily to buffalo and prefer beckett grading services but I have some sweet. Lost my holy grail a few years ago Gretzky rookie that I will prolly never be able to replace it was a graded 5 a bought for 150. Now I couldn't get for less than 800.
