i have F*** all in bar ware or artifacts etc
but i have a 95 phillip morris tracksuit top signed by winmar and plugga (pluggas sig isnt the greatest)
and a 97 tracksuit jacket signed by lowe winmar burke and harvs.....and they all look great
they are just both hanging up in the closet
ill get the 97 one framed one day...when i have 400 bucks to blow
My Stkilda scarf that I have had since I was a baby.
The coloured tassles are all neatly plaited into their respective colours, it has never been washed (I'm sure you think that is grotty), it sits pride and place on my bedroom door, wear it to every game and even took it overseas with me.
The red isn't really red anymore, more like an orange and the white is def an off white. But I don't care because I love it.
I have a coffee cup from the 1997 captains collection.
My prized footy possession is a club published magazine from 1931. Kind of a internal football record. The copy I have is from the week my grandfather played his first game...Has a three page article about him, plus his picture is on the cover. Only a couple in existance according to the club.
They wanted me to donate it to the club a few years back, but I dont want to give it over. We had some issues with the with the club about some of his gear just before he died...So I kind of guard it all now.
Anyhoo.
"Now the ball is loose, it gives St. Kilda a rough chance. Black. Good handpass. Voss. Schwarze now, the defender, can run and from a long way".....
Last week I had the pleasure to inspect a very important item of Saints memorabilia.. the "Badge of Courage".
The below excerpt is from Wikipaedia..
In round 5, St Kilda defeats North Melbourne 13.19 (97) to 11.17 (83), despite having only 15 players left at the end of a brutal match (which was stopped at one stage because a wild brawl, instigated by the North Melbourne players, had erupted in the centre): captain Clarrie Hindson had a broken ankle, full-forward Bill Mohr had two broken ribs, forward Jack Anderson had been knocked unconscious, centreman W.C. "Billy" Roberts was felled once, recovered, and then was felled a second time, and rover Roy "Tiger" Bence was also knocked out.
* The St Kilda President, Gallipoli veteran and naval war hero Commander Fred Arlington-Burke, described St Kilda's 15 man victory as the greatest moral victory in the club's history, A "Badge of Courage" was struck by the Football Club and was awarded to each of the players that took part in the match. The medallion is silver, coin shaped, with coin-like reeding around its outer perimeter (with no cicumferential milling), with a St Kilda Football Club badge affixed to it, and the following inscription: "St KILDA DEFEATED Nth MELBOURNE WITH 15 MEN MAY 27th 1933".
The particular badge I looked at was inscribed with the coaches name Col Deane.
Although my business is buying and selling antiques and collectables this item was not in my area of expertise and I recommended the owner to take it to Leskis auction in Hawthorn for an accurate appraisal.
I was quite overawed when handed this rare item as I had previously read about the 1933 game and realised how important and valuable an item this was.
If it wasnt for this game and the story behind it The Saints would not have the Sheild Logo ..

are you talking about the magazine called " StKilda Football Review" ?
Came out First between 1923 - 25 then again between 32 - 35 not only did you get a stk footy card with every Issue ( awesome in it self ) but it was the first magazine too publish player match stats not just the First's either but second's too
Big Red I would love too get a scan of the cover pm if you can help
Whilst I have a number of Saints items, two I recently purchased were extremely nice
1. Some years ago, I painstakingly collected a number of Trevor Barker footy cards and a piece with his original signature then had them framed. A little short of cash at the time I sold them. Recently won them back at an auction which was great
2. Same auction got a fantastic Barry Breen drawn caricature coloured in and endorsed by Barry plus beautifully framed.
These two will be up on the wall and won't be sold

Rare is rare.
Something the club should get back IMO....

I have one of the match day footballs from the 1966 Grand Final, signed by the whole team. Framed and looks fantastic.
My Grandfather was the Marketing director of Smiths Crisps at the time, and was given one of several balls given away as part of a promotion through one of the radio stations at the time!!
