Show Me your NFL stuff

[hiflyer56]

Just picked up a Sidney Rice gamer from (JO)
It was used vs PIT this year (09)

Let me tell you it STINKS!!!!

Speaking of "stinks", every single New York Titans (Jets) throwbacks that I purchased on NFL Auctions smell AWFUL. Worst body odor you can imagine. Is this from them all sitting in a wet, sweaty bin after the games? I tried putting fabric softener sheets in between them, but this isn't doing any good. Is there any way to get the stench out of these, without washing off the game use on the jersey? Unfortunately, I live in an apartment, and can't let them air out on a clothesline. Any suggestions other than keeping them in a huge ziplock bag??

Hi,

That and time...I have Champ Bailey that I got from NFL auctions 2 years ago and it finally has stopped stinking.

Great stuff everyone! Fun to see football on here hidden amongst all the baseball. Great Fletcher jersey! Nice to see some BRONCS stuff on the board.

Here is my latest pick up - sorry for the poor picture - Brandon Stokely's road throwback jersey from the BRONCS Monday Night win vs. San Diego earlier this year.

Thanks,

Tom

Just picked up a nice Bengals helmet. It's a very rare Rawlings HND-9 model helmet. Many thanks to Robert for his most valuable assistance.

That Bengals HND-9 is a fantastic piece. Is it painted or impregnated orange? Here is a vintage, TAK 29 impregnated orange Riddell. Not game used but unused,old stock.

The helmet is impregnated. I hate to publicly kiss ass but as usual, Robert was most helpful. When I initially saw the helmet, I remembered a thread that Robert wrote Months ago about the font style used on authentic Bengals helmet logos. The font style seemed to match up to what Robert had commented on so I emailed the seller with some questions. At the same time, I emailed Robert who was kind enough to get back to me - he told me about the model of helmet, how rare it was and some Bengals did use these helmets. So, when the seller got back to me, I was ready to buy it.

yosef777 - You're two-bar isn't too shabby at all.

Jim,
Your are correct in your praise of Robert. His knowledge and generosity in sharing it is commendable. Also, glad you like the TAK 29 but it is no HND-9! How is that for helmet 'geek speak' : )
