Your Swans Collection?

[Primmy]

I am sitting here and gazing at my second most prized possession, and cannot believe I left both of these out.

1. Stuey's boot - mounted on a plinth - won at the inaugural Trivia Night 2004 I think, presented to me by my best most favourite Nicksy, signed by 2003 Captain Stuart Maxfield and Brownlow Medal winner Adam Goodes.

2. In 1999 I broke my leg badly, and was in hospital when the Barassi Barbeque took place. A friend at the time took a huge get well card to the event, and it is signed by all of the team. Framed and in what I call my study.

I have $6500 (cost) of footy cards featuring the Swans (SM & Sydney) with some of the old cards from early 1900's. I have all key rings back to 2000 and m/ship[ cards to 1998 with a couple from 1970,s. I wish I had kept all my m/ships back to late 50's. I have jumpers with sash, r & W V , and Swans current jumper all framed. The sash was Patrick V's auctioned at H of Fame dinner and the Swans jumper is signed by Skilts. I have a plugger 1400 goal framed and signed, and T O C framed picture and the premiership posters of all p/ships with the last 2 accompanied by Signed cards. I have a photo of the old south ground, and a couple of other memoriabillia pieces.

Nice! I have the pair of boots Plugger wore in the last game of the 1997 season. Toes of each boot signed by the greatest full forward of all time & still stained with a little SCG mud. Not mounted but stored safely away for future display

Don't know the value of my footy cards but I know there are a few thousand in my collection (or is it hoarding? )

My work in progress is a jumper signed by Swans Brownlow medalists (Skilts, Goodsey, Roundy) & 300 gamers (Micky, Goodsey - well it's the same signature - & Jude). Not sure how I'll get the other Brownlow Medalists, but I'll work on it

I've got 26 different Sydney/South Melbourne neck tie designs. I actually have 28 Swans ties but I somehow ended up with 3 of the same tie.
I'm always on the look out for any tie that I haven't already got, if anyone is looking to sell one (or to trade for one of my spare ones) feel free to let me know

The good people at Sydney's merchandising department must read this forum. There is a new tie out this season, if you don't already have it?

[Primmy]

I just wish the Sydney Merchandising department got the cushions back. I lost mine at ANZ last year, and I miss it like mad. One with a little slot in it for name card and membership number.

Red and white perhaps? With a noice V and no sign of cyggie?

Tie number 27 on its way! I reckon the newest tie will be the least aesthetically pleasing in my collection

[goswannies]

And how will we know which ones you have or don't have?
26 is a pretty impressive effort.

Not sure if this image of my tie colletion will work. Anyway, if it does, these are the ones I have ... and I'm after pretty much anything that isn't there ...



YAY! ... seemed to work, sorry about the clarity but it gives you an idea. 27 ties now - latest one arrived today

I was jealously eyeing one of the PC seat cushions, definitely required at some locations!

Great collection (although I haven't worn a tie for 25 years).

No wonder you live at Goodesy's place, no room at yours!

[Triple B]

Strangely enough, I only have 2 Swans ties and neither are in that pic.

One is a Burgundy coloured tie with tiny blue opera houses on a beige splash background. It is circa 96 or 97 and was the tie worn by the players that year. The other is a royal blue tie with a small club emblem design. I don't think it was an official AFL/Swans tie.

[AnnieH]

No wonder you live at Goodesy's place, no room at yours!

It's all lovingly placed in hermetically sealed boxes in a temperature and light controlled environment.

Nah, really... it's all just chucked into boxes and piled into a spare room.

There are currently about 3 different ones on eBay for fairly reasonable prices. Goodscore has 1 or two. Swans have a new one out but it's $50 & it's close to the ugliest one in my collection & they might also have the 2012 premiers tie.

Otherwise I have got a lot from the Swans shop, or eBay over the years.

It'd be nice if you didn't bid against me tho
