LOL. Hopefully they can get the O going and really put the hammer down. Yes agreed great experience, cool dad point and some cool souvenirs.

Now I just need to figure out the best way to get them displayed for him. I was thinking it would be cool if when Bowe signed somewhere here in KC and my son was here for a visit that we could go get them signed. I'm also hoping that some pics are posted to getty. Some from the front view. I'm just not sure if the autograph would look good. One side is a rubbery type material. I am not sure of the top half. The kid would barely let me touch them. LOL. He took them to his moms so I can't check them now. Some gloves I've seen, the autograph bleeds or fades.

Does anyone with experience on game used football gloves have any advice? Should the boy and I pursue an autograph before I get them framed for him?

This story is so awesome. Just when I get down about all the negative sports stories and all the negative hobby-related stories, I am told one like this and I remember why I started collecting in the first place.

Re: the autograph query, While I am not a huge fan of autographs on game worn items, getting an autograph would be great. It would also give your son a chance to re-live the story. My initial thoughts would be to have a nice picture of the moment autographed and personalized and framed WITH the gloves in some type of shadowbox. I think that would look amazing. Just my two cents. I would love to hear what other people think.

Thats awesome jeff! Now we've got another collector for life on our hands.

I wouldn't think autographs on the gloves are necessary, I've never seen a crisp signature on gloves. Like mentioned before a good shadowbox with pictures in it too would be classy. -Ryan ps told you it would be an easy win for the chiefs

LOL you were right.

I am trying to find a front view picture from the photographers on the field. I haven't seen any yet and by this time last week, they had photos on getty from the game. I reached out to the Chiefs hoping they can put me in touch with someone who can help. I would like to get one for a shadow box. Crossing fingers.

Thanks for all the suggestions and all the nice compliments.

Still no pictures on Getty. I have searched and searched. I have e-mailed countless photographers after getting their names off the various websites and also e-mailed the KC Star. No luck thus far!

If anyone sees any pics by chance from 10/27/13, please let me know!

Thanks!

After searching the internet for hours and sending tweets and searching Facebook, and e-mailing numerous photographers from Getty, KC Star, and Chiefs, one photographer knew another photographer and I was finally able to get 2 pics.

Personally I have never seen batting gloves or others that ever held a nice autograph. I don't think that signing them on the rubbery part would look good and at some point the signature would fade and probably bleed. Leave them unsigned. If you get a chance to meet him...get a copy of the photo signed instead. Much easier .

They look awesome! I'm glad you were able to track them down.

Photos are fantastic. Congrats on tracking them down. I agree, get the photo signed instead of the gloves.

Re: I think I've created a monster part 2

FYI that's not me behind him! But here is one of me from the week before! I was a little wild if you can't tell by the amount of cups in my hand. I don't drink around my kids so if they're not with us I partake. LOL. I feel bad because I was probably a little too aggressive and leaning into that guy!

Re: I think I've created a monster part 2

Oh and thanks for the suggestions. I think you all are right. I'm going to have the picture printed and signed sometime when he has a public signing. Hopefully it's on a weekend when the kids are here!! After that, I think a shadowbox would look nice.
