Re: Jim Kelly Gamer Collection
Hello gobills,
I just wanted to add that I had the honor of meeting Mr. Kelly in Cleveland last year at the HOF induction.
I didn't know I was going to meet him as he came into the restaurant in the hotel very late one evening. Someone introduced us and we spent somewhere between 30-45 minutes talking.
Turns out Mr. Kelly is also a collector and he told me that he was one of the first people to start exchanging his jerseys with other players.
I think you mentioned he is your hero in one of your previous posts and I will say I think you picked a good one. Even without meeting him, anyone who watched the 'Four Falls of Buffalo' documentary on ESPN can easily see that he is a quality individual along with people such a great player.
Btw, on a side note, today is the feast day of one of my heroes...Saint Teresa of Calcutta.
