duey Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 Many moons ago I posed a question to the board regarding whether Travis Henry had ever worn #25 with the Bills. The answers is that yes, during his very first training camp with the team, and prior to the Bills release of then #20 Henry Jones, Travis did indeed wear #25. The reason I was interested in this was that I had at that time seen, and now have in my possession, a Travis Henry signed Bills mini-helmet with the #25 on it. My question to any hard-core sports collectors is this...does the #25 helmet have a greater value than his standard #20 helmet? Not that I'm looking to sell, but I'm just curious. I realize that his success as a player would impact the helmets value, but I figured the fact that there probably aren't that many #25 Travis Henry's out there would make it more sought after. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example, I have a Pistol Pete autographed 8x10. It is worth many times more than most because he signed it "Pete Maravich" instead of "Pistol Pete Maravich". He rarely left out the Pistol. So, of course, rarity adds. I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duey Posted January 7, 2005 Author Share Posted January 7, 2005 That's what I figured. When I first saw it, I thought it was a fake. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevestojan Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 That's what I figured. When I first saw it, I thought it was a fake. Thanks! 197484[/snapback] No problem. My dad and I used to go to big shows and get autographs.. Those were really good times.. Met Pete Rose, twice (he was cool as hell). Theisman (total prick - surprised?) Johnny Unitas Muhammed Ali (probably one of the coolest ever, have a picture with him). Dick Butkis, twice Luis Aparicio Joe Morgan Yogi Berra Don Larsen Joe Namath (THE coolest. Such a cool guy. Let me hold his SB ring. I was 14 and it was sweet). The list goes on, but many are not as big of superstars as those guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buftex Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 As a Bills collector, I can tell you that there was a premium on Buffalo Bills OJ Simpsom memorabillia with him wearing the #36 (which he wore part of his rookie year). You don't see much of it out there, but there is a Sports Illustrated action poster that was issued with OJ in his original Bills uniform. It normally goes for about $50-60 bucks in mint shape. Similar posters from that era can usually be found for $20-30. The item is saught after by Simpson collectors because of the great player he was (not what he has become!), but also because of the novelty of the different jersey number...

udonkey Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 Met Pete Rose, twice (he was cool as hell). He came into my work one time last year. He looks like the ugliest bull dyke in the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slothrop Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 related question - I have a mcgahee atographed picture with him in Bills uniform. The picture must have been taken shortly after teh draft but before his firs camp because he is wearing the #2 (his old college number). What do we think about that?
