Interesting Football Memorabilia

[Peter Chao aka Sir Chao]

Gals and Guys,

I don't have much in the way of football memorabilia, but I'm proud of an autographed Joe Montana football that I have. But my favorite 49er would have to be Jerry Rice.

The Super Bowl is now celebrating its 43rd year. Since 1967, every Super Bowl matchup has been commemorated in an official souvenir program. Find the right one, you could easily bank several hundred dollars or more.

One near mint-mint Super Bowl I program signed by such Green Bay Packer greats as Bart Starr, Paul Hornung, Jerry Kramer, Herb Adderley, Jim Taylor, et al., brought a winning bid of $1,015.75.

For the more recent Programs, the selling price becomes affordable. New Orleans' Superdome was the setting of Super Bowl XXIV in1990, in which MVP Joe Montana and the San Francisco 49ers destroyed the Denver Broncos. This program is reasonably priced in the $15-20 range.

Hi guys,

The Super Bowl between Pittsburg and Arizona reminded me Broadway Joe Namath. He is one of the most collected players in the sports memorabilia field today. His memorabilia are always worth a surprising amount in auctions. For example, an authenticated game-used road jersey circa 1971-73 -- bearing Broadway Joe's name and famous #12 on back -- brought a top bid of $9,860 at auction. Another game-used jersey from the same era, accompanied by a green and white New York Jets stocking cap, did even better at auction. This lot brought a top bid of $17,925.
