I was rearranging my Jets shrine this weekend. I wanted to open up some room on my wall because I need to add a Curtis Martin Tribute to it. I've got a neon sign, my Chad/Namath Plaque, A couple of 80's wooden Jets insignias, my autographed Joe Kleco, the "Jerseys through the Years" board, my 2002 AFCE Champ hat, and my prize - a Wayne Chrebet numbered plaque from Steiner with a rookie & vet card on the plaque. I don't know if I wanna spend $500 on a Martin signed jersey. I would really like something like I have for Chrebet, a numbered plaque with pic and a rookie card - even though the rook card is NE. I don't like anything I have seen for Martin on Steiner, Grandstandsports.com, autographs-sports.com, and I've been combing ebay for about a week or two in anticipation of my rearrangement. Most of what I am seeing is either a turf plaque or just a basic numbered picture framed. I really like the playing card or something else to make it more unique like a football or a peice of jersey/helmet/etc. So the question is - does anyone know where else to look besides a typical Google search or ebay watch list? Does anyone have such an item or know of someone that is willing to part with it? Any suggestions would help. If you have an item you can PM me.
I say be patient. I have found that whenever it's about collectables it always comes to you. You'll know what it is when you see it and you'll get it. I don't own alot but what I do have is stuff that I like and want. IOW- I never get anything just for the sake of filling a spot. :smile:
I have a Curtis Martin signed mini helmet and my most prized possession...this picture signed by him...its worth more than your life (j/k).
Like RT said - patience. I was thinking about the HOF stuff but I'm afraid its gonna be way over priced and that the stuff that is available now will go up exponentially. Especially some of the rookie cards and early Jets stuff. I am gonna sit on my hands for a bit but I tend to get a little antsy...
