I've never gotten the opportunity to meet a fins player so that sucks. also I realized in mid 90's that's sports memorabilia was not an investment so I quit purchasing. by my thoughts when I was a kid my marino rookie card should be worth 1000's by now. heck I had a Bledsoe rookie card valued at $60 at one time, im sure its worth 10 cents now. im sure my 100's of marino cards aren't hitting on much. My sister bought me an autographed marino jersey while she was on her honeymoon so I guess that is my favorite piece. she was celebrating her marriage and still thought of me. but at the same time its a story that ive shared in the past. when I was 10 years old I went to the Miami-Cleveland game at joe Robbie. my mom won tickets to aruba and traded them for tickets to Miami. on the flight home I had all my fins gear on (back in 89 wow how awesome was it, you could take a picture sitting in the ****pit, simpler times) but a man prob mid 50's came up and started talking to me and my mom. he had fins gear on too. he was from Rochester and was down to see his friend colleague that worked in the southern branch for Eastman Kodak. we exchanged addresses (once again back then that was safe) and became pen pals. he sent me so much stuff, professional 8x11's of the fins from the sideline photographer, some autographed by shula, marks brothers, danny, sammie smith (lol), and loius oliver. I got team posters, a DANNY BAR!!!!! was delicious, I still have the wrapper. I traded a photo of terry bradshaw and marino together pregame in my later years to a bar owner for a dan marino iron city unopened beer bottle. so yeah I have a million cards, sideline professional photos, my original dolphins digest (back when they were the size of a newspaper), autographs, bobble heads. but I guess my fav would prob have to be the marino jersey just cause sis bought for me.
