SABRESfan Posted December 10, 2021 Report Share Posted December 10, 2021 Hey everyone.. pretty simple thread. What is your favorite piece of anything SABRES? Maybe it’s a ticket to a special game you never threw away, a jersey of your all time favorite player, a signed puck or card? A hat or hoodie?? I never really thought of myself as a collector but I have acquired some sports stuff/memorabilia throughout the years. Every once in a while I’ll see if I can snag an older Sabres player card.. the vintage look of them appeal to me. My favorite would have to be a Rob Ray rookie card that may not be worth a lot, but it’s worth a lot to me! I got a ‘75 Rick Martin displayed as well. It would be awesome to have something to pay tribute to RJ since he’s leaving after this year. The Sabres should issue a bobblehead or something similar.. if they have already then I must have missed it. Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure a couple of people here bought them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea I have a collection of bobbleheads I’ve acquired over the years. RJ, Hasek, Eichel, and Perreault. I wonder if I missed any…. 🤔 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The game before the Mayday game. I was 15, don't judge me. 😛 It's framed and hanging on the wall of my kid's room now. High School years.. good times. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North Buffalo Posted December 10, 2021 Report Share Posted December 10, 2021 (edited) I have an old Northlands wooden hockey stick autographed by the '75 Buffalo Sabres... signatures are in red ink felt pen and are fading but you can still read the French Connection sigs, Luce's, Ramsey's and Spencer's among others... Some are harder to make out but still my favorite memorabilia. I was given it as a gift when I was young... I think Gil Licata who was a friend of my older brother got it for me.

French Collection Posted December 10, 2021 Report Share Posted December 10, 2021 I got a Perreault jersey for Christmas in ‘78. I wore it so much it looked ready to be made into rags. Got it signed by Gilbert 20 years later, he chuckled at the sight of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetlou Posted December 10, 2021 Report Share Posted December 10, 2021 My first ever game was February 12, 1986. Sabres lost 4-0 to Flyers but Gilbert Perreault gave me a puck during warm-ups. Favorite memories were hanging out by the locker rooms after the games in The Aud and getting pictures and autographs with Sabres and opponents after the games as they walked to their vehicles or team bus!! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorny Posted December 10, 2021 Report Share Posted December 10, 2021 (edited) Not too big on memorabilia but, maybe my signed LaFontaine hockey card? Maybe the personalized Rick Jeanneret cameo vid we got my Dad for his birthday where he talks about the sabres winning the stanley cup. @PASabreFanyou've mentioned before you'd hope the Sabres are smart enough to have some sort of Rick stanley cup call recorded, just in case. If they don't, I've got it covered. Edited December 10, 2021 by Thorny 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msw2112 Posted December 10, 2021 Report Share Posted December 10, 2021 I'm not much of a memorabilia guy, but I did receive a puck signed by Gilbert Perreault as a gift and still have it. I also got a Ryan Miller bobblehead as a gift (probably from the same person). I like the Miller thing, except that he's wearing the slug uniform.

bunomatic Posted December 12, 2021 Report Share Posted December 12, 2021 Just memories of a time this team was relevant. Sadly those are fading. Thankfully hearing stories here on Sabrespace jog much of what I remember and it all comes back. The Seventies were great. This team was actually feared which is prolly hard for some of the kiddoes to understand. No one took us lightly. I pine for those days. I have a lot of hockey cards from that era but thats about it as far as memorabilia goes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvin Posted December 12, 2021 Report Share Posted December 12, 2021 Probably my ticket to the last game at the Aud. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveoath Posted December 12, 2021 Report Share Posted December 12, 2021 As a relative newcomer my favourite is a scarf I bought in Sweden when we went over to watch one of the Lightning game. Probably one of the only times I'll see the sabres in person. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
