True, I killed it.

I have a Tom Brady Plaque and another Tom Brady collectible that comes with a small piece of an authentic game-used football.

Met Bledsoe in '98 and he signed this for me (he asked me my name and I told him Ian, so he signed it to me. Didn't question it. Not like I'll ever sell it). At his induction his father signed the SI SB 36 ball for my then 5 year old. Not my most prized but I have both him and his old man's sig's so that's kinda cool.

My 3 Games To Glory 1,2, and 3 DVD discs. I never get tired of watching them.

Game program from the first AFL game ever in 1960 (Pats/Denver) with autographs from Butch Songin and Chuck Shonta. What a night.

Well I have a few.

First is signed by my Favorite player of all time, Tedy Bruschi.


Second is this item with Adam Vinatieri kicking both the Snow Bowl kick and winning the SB, all signed by him. 1 of 36. dad got it at an auction.

Finally this last one, this panoramic of Foxboro, Snow Bowl, score tied and Adam lining up for the winning kick, signed by a bunch of guys, had it signed in 2003 so some were not on the SB team. I just did two hours of research to figure out all the signatures...getting old sucks.

Couple more pics of the above.

Holy crap! You live in the Patriots Hall of Fame! Awesome!

I have an autographed picture of Jerod Mayo that his mother sent me. Sorry goes: I have a non-football friend at Langley AFB, was telling him about how bummed I was that Mayo got hurt last year because my older son plays LB and I'd show him video of Mayo. A woman walks into his office later that day and introduces herself and my friend says aloud "Mayo, Mayo where have I heard that?" then remembers and relays my story. Finishes with "But you're probably not related sorry for the story." She says she's his mom and gets my address from him and a few days later I have the picture in my mailbox along with a little sticky note from her. They're framed together and hanging in my house now.

Oldrover I have some more but these are my favorite. My whole basement is a bar basically with all Pats stuff. I live in Denver so when the pats would come here years ago we always knew where they stayed so the players were super cool since there would be just a few pats fans there. I do remember TB being a **** to us once LOL. Now when the come out here you cant get anywhere near them, big security these days.

Drew Bledsoe autographed football

Bledsoe autograph with Adam V and Ted Johnson on there.

The autographs have faded over time however even with the ball being in a case and facing away from the light

My patriots footie pajamas. Curtosy of Michael Felger.

I like nice cars and this one is on my desk at home in the box.
It's never been out of the box ......
I don't really wear gear other then the winter hat.

Wish I'd thought of it, so it shoulda been you...it would have been an instant Patsfansforum classic (with a small font footnote way at the bottom that we were, of course, joking)

It's hard to pick one, but the autographed 8x10 picture of Thompkins catch from the Saints game last year. Best part of it is that it's personalized. I mailed it in a SASE last year to Gillette and had low expectations to get it back. I still remember that day late last year seeing the mail and a brown envelope with my writing on it, I was thinking "no f@cking way!"

It's too bad those aren't on blu-ray. Anything on blu-ray Patriot related must be avoided...

Digital recordings of the broadcasts of Super Bowl 36, 38 and 39.

My Autograph Steve Grogan Jersey. I took a pic with him as he was signing it at his store, then I went back with picture next season and he signed that as well. Grogan, as tough as they come! He's reason why I'm a Pat's Fan since 1976.

does anyone know how to prevent sigs on footballs from wearing down over time? or nothing i can do and ink is ink..it will fade sooner or later?

Bledsoe i can barley see anymore...sucks
