Some Neat and Priceless Broncos Memorabilia

[Jason]

The quality isn't the best in the world, the pictures were taken with my camera phone. I'm a nimrod when it comes to digitally adding pictures from a camera to the computer.
So I just took the pictures on my phone and sent them to my email to be uploaded to photobucket.

Most of the items are as priceless as you can get. One is just kinda neat. I'm sure you have a Dan Marino one of these, MIB.

This is a talking John Elway Figure. I'm pretty sure they made two others just like it. I know there's one with Dan Marino. I can't think of who the other one is. My guess is Joe Montana, Steve Young or Jim Kelly.









Next up, a few pictures. This one is a picture of my paternal Grandmother, one of the first ever season ticket holders of the Denver Broncos, with a few players. There were many other players, but there was only time for one quick photo.

From left to right.
Mark Jackson, Tyrone Braxton, Connie (my Grandma, who passed in 1992), Perry (her husband, my step-Grandpa?) and their son, Gary, who is my Dad's half brother (same mother, Connie),








Next is a photo signed by John Elway to my Grandma, Connie.
It reads:
"To Connie, Best Wishes, John Elway"









The next few are some Broncos memorabilia molded and designed from scratch by my Grandmother, Connie. She was very talented when it comes to it.

A Broncos Clock









She also molded and designed this from scratch.

A Broncos Statue, I believe she made, shortly before Super Bowl XXIV.









My maternal Grandma, Ethel, knew I was a massive Broncos fan and had this football specially made for me. I was somewhere between 7 and 10 when this football was made.

Side 1!



Side 2!








There you have it! Some priceless memorabilia of my favorite football team! I have tons upon tons of other little things that aren't so priceless, such as coffee mugs, Freezer glasses, drinking glasses, mini helmets, books, stickers and other things. I've been a die hard fan my whole life!

Those are all stupid sweet! Especially the ones your Grandmother made, that football looks like a SB trophy. Priceless I'm sure... they'd have to pry those from your cold dead fingers ;D I don't have the talking Marino, just a porcelain statue that looks to be about the same size.

My Dad was a craftsman and wood carver. The one NFL thing he made me that I wish I still had was two bleachers about a foot long that held all the gumball helmets for both leagues. 28 helmets in all (back then there were just 28 teams) 14 for the NFC and AFC. He painted the divisions and names on the bleachers which were stained brown.

[Jason]

I remember when the divisions were that way. Wasn't too long ago, either! East, West and Central Divisions, too.

Yeah, that football is amazing. I can't even begin to describe how the thing is made. It's unbelievable. Probably my most priceless item. I wouldn't sell that thing for anything.

I've always wanted something like what your dad made. I would've loved it even more if I still had all the team helmets. I don't know what happened to them all, though.

[Man in Black]

I've still got most of the helmets. I'll have to get them out and photograph them when I can breathe long enough to do so.

And yeah, just the 3 divisions too, I'd forgot about that... actually I forgot that now there were four. It still throws me off, I got so used to 3 for so many years.

[Jason]

So did I. It took me a while to get used to the new divisions. I decided to just sit down and study them all one day. Now I can name every team from every division in a heart beat.

'Cause knowledge is power!!

[Man in Black]

I can too with football, but I do good just to remember who is in the East and West in the NBA... and don't even ask me about baseball ;D

[Jason]

Baseball hasn't changed since I was young. I've had baseball memorized almost (but not really) as long as I have NFL. I've gotten way better with basketball, but I'm kinda struggling with hockey.

[Man in Black]

What's hockey ;D

No, I actually don't mind watching hockey. We went to several Florida Panthers games while we were visiting down there a few years ago. It was funny because they played Carolina once and that was a strange sensation being nearly a thousand miles from home, sitting there with the home teams hat on rooting for them along side rabid local fans against a team from only an hour and a half from my house. I still have the puck I picked up at my first hockey game.

[Jason]

Nice! I can see myself going to a Denver home game and feeling weird, too. It's almost like you belonged there, huh? My dad and I went to an Ice Hockey Rink when I was a kid and I bugged him for this stupid puck of the Edmonton Oilers. It was the only one they had.
