Many footy fans collect the stuff. What is/are your favourite item(s) in your Swans collection, why and where did you get it/them?

I have a 1933 Swans Premiership WEG poster. Got about 15 years ago from a gentleman who was apparently one of Weg's best mates.Swannies for life! -
My fave "memorabilia" would have to be my photo album from the 2005 grand final events! Starting from the drive down and the Parade, finishing at the tickertape parade through the city - some amazing memories!
As to actual merchandise etc... Probably one of Tadhg's 2001 guernseys friends gave me for my 18th birthday or the #4 guernsey I won in 1997 in a 50c "guess the number of lollies in the jar" competition - got it signed by Plugger and Rocket somewhere along the line. Both guernseys live with the mother in Sydney though

I have a framed 2005 WEG poster with my ticket mounted at the bottom. I have a premiership jumper too, but I need to get Roos and Halls sigs on it, then get it framed.Does God believe in Atheists?Comment

My favourite item is my framed jersey signed by the entire 1996 grand final team but my lucky red and white striped gloves with the footy pads are a close second.Comment

I have two. Stuey's boot. Door prize at first Trivia Night signed by Stuart Maxfield (Captain) and Adam Goodes (Brownlowist), its a white and red puma mounted on a plinth. I love it. My number was picked out by my gorgeous Mathew Nicks.
A great big get well card taken to the Barassi Barbeque in March 1999 (I was in hospital after doing unspeakable things to my ankle in an accident), signed by Greg Stafford, Wayne Schwas, Stuart Maxfield, Mathew Nicks, Troy Luff, Jason Saddington, Rodney Eade, Michael O'Loughlin, Rowan Wharfe, Brad Seymour, Tony Lockett, Darren Cresswell, Danny McPherson and Paul Kelly with get well messages. It is framed and hanging in my office. My friend did a great thing and I treasure it. (also signed by Scott Russell...).

I have a copy of "The Record" Sept 4 1971 which was the local paper for Sth and Port Melbourne which contains a 2 page article on Bob Skilton regarding his retirement. It has a rundown of every year of his career.Comment

"Heritage Round" shoes that I bought from Dimmey's for $9.99Comment

South Melbourne mirror with the Swan on it that I found in a Bordertown furniture store for $35 in 1986. Had a bit of time to kill and strolled into this store, spotted some footy stuff up the back, and there it was. Snapped it up immediately. I could not believe my luck.
Also have a framed photo of Teaser taking a hanger at Arden St when we got up and made the finals in 1977.Comment

An old rusted metal plaque which reads :

I just need to add '2005' and leave space for more!Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it's time to pause and reflect... MTComment
