That's insane mate, I wish I could have a collection like that.

All I have is a random assortment of Budgets from the mid-80s to late 90s.

I've always wanted the 1994-96 Grand Finals on DVD.

My old man had a foray into his long term storage - he keeps a black hole for a personal storage system, it eats everything that passes into his possession, and the physics involved in getting something out of it are more complicated than that of Hawking radiation. Nevertheless this time he emerged with my black-and-gold football signed by Graham Campbell's entire team. I had not set eyes upon this item in 20 years, and have been pestering him to dig it out for well over a decade.

Unfortunately the football has not suffered the years well. In particular most of the signatures have faded and are no longer legible. Can't say I'm keen to track down every senior player from 30 years ago and get them to retrace their signatures.

Well if you parted with $65 clams you could have go a significant number of them on Sunday night at the Hall of Fame dinner. Alternatively you should've wondered over to the past players tent yesterdy with your crotch fruit and got him to do your dirty work (his face is far more innocent than yours!)
