I am curious what other posters have to say about posting and/or discussing football memorabilia in this forum. I am by no means what one would consider a frequent poster so I feel it would be in appropriate to be taking the liberty initiating off topic posts. But I do have a few unique items I think others would be interested in seeing and I'd certainly love to see others' items as well.

Well, I'm new to this forum but I did take the time to read the rules and from what I can read, items such as programs, photos, postcards and such are considered "related topics". Maybe I'm wrong though. Is there a line in the gridiron we cannot cross?

Not exactly a busy message board (yet). I'd absolutely vote for anybody to throw out posts regarding memorablia, or anything interesting for that matter.

Post Away!!

I would not think that would be off topic. What do you collect?

I agree...not a lot of traffic in the football section so have at it.....It's different when there are 20-30 threads a day like in the Pre-war section..Also, you can sort of police yourselves for the most part ..take care

Sorry for the delay in getting back after I initiated this thread. I collect most every item related to Wisconsin sports (Packers, Badgers, Brewers/Braves, Bucks/Hawks, etc.). My avatar is Aw-gust the old American Association Brewers logo.

Here's a couple items I've never seen anywhere else before...

A poster from what I believe to be 1950 welcoming new Packer coach Gene Ronzani.


I'm only guessing on this one, but I believe this pin was from high school alma mater Milwaukee Riverside. Ed played from 1937-41 and is a member of the Packers Hall of Fame.


Here's one more that you don't see very often, Larry Fritsch's uncle Ted.


All three of these were flea market finds.

John - show us some vintage memorabilia of these former GB Packers:

Abrams, Nate
Abramson, George
Bell, Ed
Disend, Leo "Moose"
Goldenberg, Charles "Buckets"
Gordon, Lou
Pregulman, Merv
Schneidman, Herm "Biff"

I may have Disend and Goldenberg on my 1940 team matchbook. Unfortunately its in storage. What do you have of the guys on your list?

Almost nothing John. I have a few reprints & that's all. I haven't been looking that hard and I don't have the money to buy much anyway.

Here's some items I've come across and since sold...I don't hold on to the football stuff so I don't keep it long, but I've had some pretty nice items.
