The greatest collectibles

Editor's Note: He's back! Hall of Fame Vice President Steve Strawbridge has agreed to fire up his blog once again. You can look for it every other Wednesday.

We are lucky enough here at the Pro Football Hall of Fame to carry some great collectibles and autographed merchandise in our Hall of Fame store. One of our most popular items has been the Bronze Bust cards. This set of cards was introduced in 2009 and we have more than 130 signatures from Pro Football Hall of Famers. We have added the Class of 2010 to our Bronze Bust and all seven members of the Class of 2010 have been added to the set for FREE!

If you were not lucky enough to get an autograph from Emmitt Smith or Jerry Rice or Russ Grimm or Rickey Jackson or Dick LeBeau or Floyd Little or John Randle, now is your chance!! Click here for more information on the Bronze Bust Cards.

Some other amazing items that were signed over Hall of Fame weekend that are exclusive to the Pro Football Hall of Fame are items such as our Class of 2010 Autographed Football, Class of 2010 Autographed Full Size Helmet, and Class of 2010 Autographed Mini Helmet. These are great collector items and they were some of the first items signed as a group by the Class of 2010. There are individually signed items from the Class of 2010 such as this Emmitt Smith Autographed Football or Jerry Rice Autographed Football.

I personally witness all of these items being signed over Hall of Fame weekend. One of the tough parts of my job. Ha! Seriously though, this is extremely important because as all of you collectors know, there are too many fakes out there. That is why collectors love buying items directly from the Hall of Fame because they know we get items signed right here by the greatest players to ever play the game!
