The Windbreaker and Sneakers worn by Coughlin on SB XLII Sunday during the game. I won it on his Jay Fund auction. Obviously the only one of its kind in the world. I get to see it every time I see the game, watch the highlights and see still photos including the Gatorade dunk..😀
I had it as a kid, mine had no signatures, no frame, just thumb tacked up to the wall.
wish I still had it. this and a Miracle on Ice poster, were my most prized sports possessions other than personal/team achievement awards (championship rings, trophies, medals, etc.) I earned.
A few years ago, when the Giants were still training in Albany, I went to camp one day with my kids and my parents. Both Mom and Dad were big Giants fans, Mom passed away last year - June 30th - almost exactly a year ago.
Anyways, the autograph line was already several bodies deep and my son could not get near the front. Typical of my Mom, she grabbed the football and walked up to one of the security guys. She told him she was a diabetic and needed to sit down someplace because she felt faint. She pointed to a bench inside the ropes and he let her go sit there.
As the players passed by she got several autographs - good ones too. Eli, Cruz, Tuck, Jacobs
So while it's technically my son's memorabilia it's still my favorite.
My son bought for me and hid at my brother laws house until Christmas. Not that it matters but he won't tell me what he paid for it but it must of been a lot. Whenever I ask him all he says is shipping was free lol
A game football I got in 1973. I was 8. Yankee Stadium. It was against the Cowboys and one of the punters kicked it really bad and wound up in my dads lap. We sat a few rows behind the visitors bench,
My dad took off to the upper levels where friends had seats and sat there the entire first half. Came down and although security kept looking for the ball, we were able to sneak it out.
that has been dated back to the 40's and as far as the thirties. Can't get an actual firm date tho.
And the pic in the far right of the frame is Tiki Barber signing a Jersey for my brother for me, before his rookie season.. so it must have been this time of year that year...
Both signed for me at a United Way drive at Merrill Lynch in 1987 after the strike.
Morris was all alone, everybody flocked to LT and Banks. Je was really nice.
I couldn't get close enough on line, so I waited by the elevator and jumped in with LT and Banks. LT was great, signed my picture, made some hysterical cracks about how Bill Parcells was "being a dick" at the time.
Banks was talkative but wouldn't sign my picture, said I was going to sell it. He agreed to to sign the back of LTs. I still have the picture in my house.
from the game. Also the Superbowl XLII Championship t-shirt, which I bought the next day at the Phoenix Airport as I was heading home. Frankly all the pics I took when I was down there. But most of all, the picture of my father and I with the Giants pin and "I was there" pin on it, which I wore throughout my entire trip.
He signed my SI football from SB42, my mini helmet and the Strahan jersey my kid was wearing that is now framed in our bonus room. Best part was he didn't charge a dime for it...
I have a personal message from Tom Coughlin on a football wishing my wife and I a happy marriage and lifetime of happiness that my friends were able to get for me.
I also have an unopened Wheaties Box from 1990 Super Bowl.
LT Jersey from like 1985 and an autographed SB42 football Â
my NY coffee mug. But if I drink my coffee from it on game day, the Giants always win. It brought home 2 SBs already, and I'm sure it has a third. From now it will sit untouched until opening day against Dallas. That day, I will have two full cups.
gem mint 10 LT rookie and gem mint 10 Simms rookie
Strahan rookie autograph on his photo in the '92 yearbook (from a gathering in Gloversville, NY that he attended with Kent Graham, who also autographed the yearbook)
a copy of every NY Giants yearbook from 1963-present, several autographs in various books from Albany training camp
at the end of the day, fans were allowed one question to either Strahan or Graham..I elected to ask Kent Graham what he thought was the hardest position to learn for a rookie player and his answer was wide receiver, because of all the different reads and line of scrimmage adjustments (I was thinking at the time that he would have said quarterback, but, he said wide receiver)
I have been collecting for years so this is tough. Â
I have a few
- My Wife for my birthday bought a set of Giants seats from the old stadium
- Autographed Helmets- Simms SB MVP, Taylor, Manning, M. Strahan
- Last year’s Christmas gift from wife 16x20 Auto’s of Frank Gifford & YA Tittle
At 2004 training camp, a Times Union photographer took the picture and she asked my sons name. The next day the picture was in the paper. We ordered an 8x10 and a 11 x 14 from the website. I took them to camp a couple of weeks later and Eli signed them. The picture is framed in my sons room. I have a signed authentic helmet by LT as well. Many other items like mini helmets with one signature: Eli, Tiki, Strahan, LT, Carl Banks, Shockey, Pettigout, Kerry Collins, Hilliard, Sehorn.
autographed by Eli as he walked off the field up that 'tunnel' of fans. the blown up cover of SI with Tyree's helmet catch that I had him autograph at the breakfast that April and a vintage 1985 Simms jersey, bought at Modells in 1985 that I wore for every game up till after 1 game at the new stadium when I switched to a new throwback Simms. got to get that original signed and mounted.
A Spider Lockhart signed NYGiants ball cap.

My funniest is my autograph from Elvis Patterson signed "Toast, #34."
Also, a helmet I brought to camp a few years back and had signed by players like Dave Diehl, Antrel Rolle etc...

Anyway, draft day picture of Eli, TC and Accorsi signed by Eli.
its just right at that moment when we realized "we are going to the Super Bowl.
My dad took off to the upper levels where friends had seats and sat there the entire first half. Came down and although security kept looking for the ball, we were able to sneak it out.
LT signed the helmet at a function, didn't get to talk with him at all.
Met Harry in Albany during camp.
