Here is a proof ticket from the 1963 AFL championship game, a super-rare candy try produced by Coca-Cola, showing the '63 team, and Sid Gillman's 63 championship tie clip and bracelet.

Have you ever been to the Vatican library - they have twenty items in one display case that would be a stand alone center piece of any other library in the world - and then they have 10 more cases just like that. Todd is the Vatican of the AFL!

This item is by far the pinnacle of my AFL memorabilia.
When the AFL turned 5 years old, AFL founder Lamar Hunt created a composite piece to give to each of the eight AFL owners. The piece includes a photo of each of the eight AFL teams. As the owners had always called themselves the "Foolish Club" for taking on the NFL, that is the inscription he put on the piece. I have the one that was originally given to Jets majority owner Sonny Werblin. I know the one Hunt had made for himself hangs in the Kansas City Hall of Fame but have not been able to track down the location of the other six. Like all things AFL, this item was originally in Todd Tobias's collection. jeff |

This piece was give to players by the local Coca-Cola Bottling Plant after winning the '63 AFL Championship. Also, Paul Lowe's trophy from being named to the AFL All-Time Team.

That certainly is a beauty, Jeff. I am glad that you are enjoying it. I especially like the Patriots photo, which shows Jess Richardson, the last professional player to not wear a face mask.
