I've to a good little collection of Notre Dame items for my office now. Little by little I would pick items up here and there. Sports Illustrated cover issues, football cards, magazines, books, glasses/cups, posters, etc.

There are two standout items for me.

1- I have is a Play Like A Champion Today poster from Steiner Sports that is signed by Lou Holtz and Charlie Weis. I purchased it at a discount when Charlie Weis was fired and I would take it to campus on game day to get signatures and occasional autograph signings. Brian Kelly, J. Lattner, J. Huarte, Joe Montana, Theismann, Hornung, Teo, Rudolph, H. Smith, Rees, Pickett, Rice, M. Floyd, Brooks, Tuitt, Nix, M. Edwards, Golics, L. Bradley, Sean Astin "Rudy", Hanratty, S. Young, C. Wood, T. Riddick. Those are the players on the top of my head. I haven't gotten any recent signatures in a few years. It's always a good conversational piece, especially when players are recognized and happy someone recognizes and know who they are.

I'm not sure if it will ever be "complete" as there are so many signatures I would still like to get. Really regretting I never got Ara on the poster. I'll have to get it out and post a picture sometime.

2- I had Father Hesburgh sign my book and he gave me his business card too.

Go Irish!

You can never have too many signatures.

Beautiful stuff, I don't know what your timeline looks like but when I was trying to move a pile of jerseys and helmets I had accumulated I sent them on to ebay seller Probstein Auctions. It takes a little longer but you just mail them your stuff and once the auctions close they send you a check (minus their cut of course). Good luck!

Not a super fancy collectible but my mom got me this for Christmas and I'm pumped. Cooperstown Collection Pedro Martinez home jersey with 1999 All-Star game patch.
