Re: Hines Ward game used pics

Hey all...I've enclosed my pics for your viewing. The pic of the cleats is of the pair I just received. And the photo of Hines Ward is from the 11-28-10 game in Buffalo, NY. If you look at the end of his right cleat in the front, you'll see black staining consistent with that of the cleats I received. I couldn't get the picture big enough, but it came from GettyImages. If you go there, you can upsize the pic and you'll see it plain as day. I'll be seeing Hines in person in a few months. I will get his confirmation one way or the other. The last pic is of my son Bryce, Bradshaw and I. I've met him twice now. First time he was a real a**hole and the second time, probably because of my son, he couldn't have been any nicer. I'm willing to talk Steelers football anytime.....LambertIsGod58@yahoo.com

Great picture with you and your son! Glad to hear Terry was nice (for once) that day with your boy present. As a fellow Penn Stater as well, love the hat! Nice to see you got the shoes from Hines. I will respond to your email with some of my Steelers player photos.

Re: Hines Ward game used pics

gonna see Hines at a signing in April in NJ. Hoping to get his guarantee that these were his. Plus some pics with him and the cleats/gloves. These are for my 6yr old son. We were at that game. He doesn't know he's getting them yet. What I would have done for a game used anything from the likes of ANY of the 70's Steelers.......

As painful as it is being a Bengals fan to compliment the Steelers, it is so nice seeing those gathering the winners' gear doing it for all the right reasons! Wishing you and your son the very best! In some small way, I wish I'd been so blessed to be born a Steeler fan! I root for Roethlisberger as a Miami alum, but I, and my kids, are loyal Bengal lifers.

Re: Hines Ward game used pics

I do feel very fortunate that I chose to be a Steelers fan when I was very young. Not only because of the success they've had, but because of the quality players we've had over the years. Enduring the 80's as a Steelers fan wasn't easy. The Steelers of the 70's will never be duplicated. Although I dislike every team in the ol' AFC Central and now the AFC North, I respect every team. And there are players on other teams I do cheer for.....Terrell Owens, Ray Lewis.

Re: Hines Ward game used pics

so right now, it's just Hines Ward selling his own items or are other Steelers available through their own website?

Re: Hines Ward game used pics

Yeah being a steelers fan in the 80's was not easy, was it.Heck even the 90's.We sure had to go threw some bad seasons to get to the good ones now.I am just glad i got a chance to cheer for them again.As i have been a steelers fan since the 70's so i got to cheer for them then and get to cheer for them now.I think the team from the 70's could have duplicated if it was not for free agency (ruined the game) but if we would have beat the packers.Well they would calling it a ben ben dyansty....so close

Hi mbenga28,

From what I have been able to find, it's just Hines (for now). I know he is doing it to support his charity, helping hands. The only other items I have seen have been at JO Sports, and even then it was mostly Steelers that were no longer with the team (Santonio, Willie Parker, Tyrone Carter). Even with Ryan Clark, his stuff went up when they thought he was going to sign with Miami, but at the last moment of course he stayed in Pittsburgh. I'm pretty sure lambertisgod got his Hines items at JO, however.

Jo Sports have lots of nice Bengal items: cleats, gloves and jerseys from some quality players like Ocho "now I'm Chad again" and Carson Palmer, among others. My cousin is from near Cincy, and though he rubbed in it pretty hard in the 80's (including sending me the then new striped helmet logo hat for Christmas), he is awfully quite these days .

@jobathenut,

You are right, the 80's were down right awful with QBs like Stoudt, Malone, Woodley, Campbell and Brister. But even then, they managed to get to an AFC Championship and shock some playoff teams like the great Elway in Denver, and beat Glanville in Houston during the wild card round.

In the 90's, the team losing in '94 to San Diego in the AFC Championship and in '97 to Denver both stung, but neither were as bad as Neil "f@ck!n%" O'Donnell throwing two picks to a wide open Larry Brown in Super Bowl XXX.

But, through it all, there were bright spots, like them being the only team to beat the '84 Niners, at Candlestick no less. Or, beating Elway in his first ever playoff start. Plus, Blitzburgh in the 90's and that great defense with Rod Woodson, Carnell Lake, Greg Lloyd, Kevin Green, Chad Brown and Levon Kirkland giving a Dallas dynasty all it could handle in SB XXX. Man, good times!

It is just Hines through what purports to be his official site. The prices are very high though $4,500 for a gamer! If this becomes a trend and the scarcity factor goes away don't see how that price holds up down the line. To correct the record last year JO sold other Steelers items including Troy Polamalu they just were very limited quantity and never made the website they sent around an email when they did it and there was some discussion on here about it.

Re: Hines Ward game used pics

thanks what were the items and prices for Polamalu?

Re: Hines Ward game used pics

I did not inquire because I am not a Steelers fan. They do not put prices in their emails. I heard second hand Polamalu was priced for a jersey the same as Adrian Peterson so like $7k plus. They had a bunch I will try to dig out the email that named the players.

Ok I found the email the others were James Harrison and Lamar Woodley. What they had I have no idea.
