Tony Romo Dallas Cowboy Jersey
One of the hottest sports memorabilia items on the market today. Personally autographed and inscribed, Romo has inscribed the jersey with his #9. One of the up and coming young super stars in the NFL. Beautifully framed and shadowboxed with a special conservation glass covering that protects the autograph forever. This Romo "special" is yours for the right bid!
UT Tower Picture Autographed by Vince Young
One of our feature items. Fully authenticated by PSA, personally autographed by University of Texas great, and presently the quarterback for the NFL Tennessee Titans, Vince Young. Beautifully framed this Vince Young collectible captures the UT Tower encased in burnt orange and taken a few minutes after the Longhorns 41-38 victory of Southern California to capture the 2005 National Championship for the horns. This is a must have for all longhorn fans. A great shot to hang in any office or home. Don't be left out for this UT beauty.
Brett Favre Green Bay Packer Jersey
Personally autographed, Green Bay Packer jersey of the all-time leader in Touch Downs thrown (and still counting) in the NFL, Brett Farve of the Packers. Beautifully encased and handsomely matted, this beauty is fully authenticated by GAI. Pick the spot to hang this beauty perhaps the greatest QB in the NFL history.
