Not really cowboys memorabilia (im a huge fan, but not a big collector), but i was at Darrell Green's last game (last time the skins beat dallas) and he threw his gloves up in the stands as he was running out of the tunnel and I caught both of them. Those would probably actually fetch a pretty good amount of money, but I have no way of proving their authenticity which is a shame.

wow, that's awesome! darrell green was the best cb to ever play this game!

1st ballot hall of famer, guaranteed.

I have a cutting board shaped like a football with the Cowboys star in the middle of it. The laces are routered out as well as the outline of the football. It is not a one of a kind thing. Someone actually mass manufactured this.

I have a Cowboys Helmet lamp, the kind that hangs from the ceiling and has the chain down the cord. It is a two bar face mask. I believe I got it for X-mas when I was about 10. I also have a piece of the original TX Stadium turf. When I move, the first thing that I pack is the lamp!!! :skins:

I have a Troy Aikman statuette on a pedestal. You push the button at his feet and it relates his accomplishments.

At some point you hear Troy talk about his greatest thrill as a professional footballer.
I've got that too!! It's in my sports room, which the kids wander into during the games. My kids take turns hitting the button during games, drives me nuts.

The most odd Cowboys memorabilia that I have is probably my Dallas Cowboys "zumbros" pants. They were in during the mid-80's, if you'll remember (I believe Jim McMahon made them famous). You can't find them anywhere anymore, and they're really worn now, but I still wear them every game day when I'm in full regalia: Cowboys boxers, socks, the zumbros pants, and my jersey. If I'm attending the game outdoors, add face paint and a Cowboys turtleneck underneath the jersey.

I built a Dallas Cowboys room in my house. It's basically my home theater room with Cowboys flags, autographed and framed posters, and all sorts of collectables throughout the room. The walls are now painted silver and blue, it's real nice.

I have several autograph pictures of the Cowboys, which my wife can somewhat understand, but she thought I was nuts when I hung my latest one.....an autographed picture of Jerry Jones.

I have quite a bit of stuff, but the most unique things I have ......

-- Wrist/sweat band worn by Troy Aikman in the 1992 game at Arizona. Still has grass stains. He gave it to me after the game.

-- A copy of a letter from Roger Staubach to Jerry Jones asking him to support a project that I was involved with. Roger put a hand-written note at the top which says something like, "We're going to do it. I can feel it." It was a prophetic statement as Dallas went on to win the Super Bowl that year.

-- Bob Lilly used to have a photography studio here where I live. I met him once and bought a print from him. It's called "Open Spaces" and is a shot of a vast wheat field with a windmill in the middle. Reminds me of home.

-- I've shot a few photos on the sidelines of Cowboys games. My favorite is one of Tony Dorsett in a preseason game. He was standing on the sideline during the fourth quarter. He sort of posed for me with his helmet on backwards.

-- I'm actually in the 1992 team highlight film. Well, sort of. It was the game at Arizona and Alvin Harper caught an Aikman pass, spun and raced down the sidelines for a touchdown. At one point, he runs right past me (I'm standing with other photographers). I froze the VHS tape where he crossed in front of me. I'm all blurry. Not exactly the Zapruder film, but it was sort of funny.

-- Have a few autographs, but my favorite is a photo of the Hail Mary catch that Drew signed for me.

When I was a kid (6) I had Dallas PJ'S (no big deal there) but I would not wear them I didn't want them to get messed up but I would lay them out along with anything else I had that said Dallas and arrange it on my bed to the point I had to stand for the whole game. I would have a FB and anytime Roger or Danny would throw a nice completion I'd pretend I was the receiver and throw the ball over my shoulder and catch it I would go so far if it was a diving catch actually dive and catch the pass and land on the floor which wasn't so bad untill we moved to Picycune Ms and had hard wood floors. Ouch.

Ok that was a little more than you asked.

I was stationed in Pensacola, FL... Emmitt's Dad has a card/memorabilla shop there... very intresting place if ya'll have a chance to get to it...

I bought an autographed picture of Emmitt being tackled by Ken Norton Jr in a practice... you could clearly see Emmitt's face mask broken.... it came on a plague with the broken face mask...
