Can be something from the past (a collectible or piece of memorabilia) or something from the present - maybe something you bought from the locker room sale or from Sports N Stuff.

I'm a big-time Lions collector as some of you may know - I know BB, LFITQ and Orangeshoes99 are too. Would love to hear what you've got. What's your favourite or most valuable piece?

Yea that was a mistake by me. I went with the Simpson Helmet and wish i had taken the MArsh one.

Also have game worn jersey of:

Bo Lewis GC Jersey 04
Clermont Black
Simpson Orange
DD White

My big "collection" pieces are game programs from the 50's and 60's. They have the cool art work on the front. I have them framed and on my wall.

I have a vintage 1985 Grey Cup Champions mesh hat in mint condition. My buddy's girlfriend was helping her friend move and found it in a shoebox - never worn, the colors are still bright. She asked her friend if she could give it to me and I freaked out when she brought it over because a few months before that I was cleaning out some of my old crap from my parents storage room and found the matching vintage 1985 brown/orange Lions jacket my dad had brought home 22 years ago and forgot about - again mint condition never been worn.

I only bring these items out for Western Final games.
It is what it is.

My game worn Antonio Warren jersey from the 2004 Grey Cup. I paid 150.00 for it at the locker room sale. What a deal that was. It's got the rips and scuff marks and is signed by AW. I have it in a shadow box in my office.

My two rarest / favorite items have to be my 1966 Woodwards Quaterback club patch (see Avatar), and my early 60's Lion's pennant. Trying to date the pennant, I brought a picture of it to show Bob Ackles @ Rick's party and he asked me to send it too him at his office and he said he would show it to Kato who apparently has two huge pennant wheels on his wall that he could match it up to. So far I have not heard back ............... I have my life size Lui (that makes a great Scowl holder), and never worn "Pez Noze" B.C. Football T-shirt that has the Lions head on it sporting a giant Pezim nose on it. The rest of the shrine is filled with the usual WAY too many hat's, t-shirt's, glasses, two football's, sweat shirt's etc etc etc ............

Man, you guys have some awesome stuff. I think my favorites are game worn gloves from #85 Matt Clark and a practice jersey from #77 Mike Trevathan. Also my first ever autographed card of Doug Flutie from a game played at Taylor Field in Regina. I was just a kid then and was so excited. :rockin:

Tough call as to which is my fav, but here are a few:

* recently acquired game-worn Lions away jersey from 1974 (Don Moorhead).

* sideline cloak circa 1960s. It's a large, heavy black cloak with orange quilted lining and a hood. There's a giant embroidered "mountain lion astride a football" logo on the back with "B.C. Lions" embroidered above it in a semi-circle.

* complete set of Woodward's Quarterback Club crests.

* complete sets of Royal Bank player photos (1971 - 1978)

* Primo Villaneuva jersey (circa 1956 - 1957).

Wanted: complete set of Chevron (Standard Oil) player photos from 1971. There were a lot of rare bonus cards issued that year for players who came later in the season, including actor Carl Weathers.
