OT - Childhood Sports Nostalgia

Recommended Posts

Saw a picture of these helmets and it got me reminiscing......what are some of the cool sports items you collected/had or remember from your childhood?

I still have all my trading cards.  Looking back, I was a huge KG, Terrell Davis, Curtis Martin, Napoleon Kaufman :blink: , and Steve Francis fan.

 

I still have my Kirby Puckett, Barry Sanders, Frank Thomas, and OJ Simpson rookie cards, and Big O's second year card.  I also found one of those game jersey cards with the signatures of Steve McNair.  But nothing beats my Wayne Terwilliger signed card, he lived down the street from me and was a nice guy.

 

And I used to keep all of my Homer Hankies and mini Twins bats, including the World Series game when Puckett caught it jumping against the plexi-glass.  If it isn't gone, it must be buried in a closet by my mother.

Remember the little MLB helmets filled will an ice cream sunday from DQ?

That Puckett moment is one of my favorites and I didn't even grow up a Twins fan....

 

Do kids even collect cards anymore?

Tecmo Bowl

Great memories. The Bears and 49ers were so hard to beat in that game.

Used to collect these back in the 60's. Chargers Coke bottle tops. If you filled up a whole sheet you got prizes. Found these advertised on ebay. Includes Aztec Gary Garrison.
