Centenary of greats player edition

[Kozy80]

I managed to get my hand on this display. It was never for sale as it was only awarded to the players on the greatest 100 list or to the immediate family of any deceased players that made the list. 48 genuine hand signed signatures out of the top 100.

Wow!!

They have one of these in the Canterbury Leagues Club, it looks great in person.

It really is an awesome display. I couldn’t believe my luck when I seen it advertised for sale. It is also signed at the back of the display addressed to me by the “guru” Eric Grothe snr as it was awarded to him for making the list.

Was he selling it on eBay ?

 

[Kozy80]

No it wasn’t on eBay.

Gumtree?

 

[Kozy80]

No not on gumtree. It was on marketplace.

Might of fallen on hard times to sell something like that? . Sad when ya see players selling gf rings and things like that .

 

[Kozy80]

i was told by the seller that he doesn’t keep stuff like that as he isn’t really sentimental with things like trophies, medals and the like.

 

[Kozy80]

But yeh, money would probably help these older ex players as the big money contracts just were not there like they are now.

 

[Sharks16]

Sad the clubs don’t help as much . The men of league do their bit but I suppose only so much to go around

 

[Sharks16]

My boy plays in the Canterbury comp and 80% of the teams are connected to RSL/ leagues clubs ,some of the highest turnover pokies in Sydney and they contribute the bare minimum. Not sure where all the money goes ?

 

[Kozy80]

Not to mention the money from tv rights/Fox

That’s it . The blokes commentating the game earn more then majority of forwards

 

[Kozy80]

Not that I’m ever going to sell this item but it would be interesting what the dollar value of this would be. Seeing as though they were never for sale to the public and only players or deceased players families recieved them.

 

[Kozy80]

Rarest league memorabilia that I’ve ever seen personally

 

[Sharks16]

If he signed it addressed to you probably better to keep . Might of been worth getting him not to as it may of been worth more that way ?

 

[Kozy80]

Not really bothered as it’s only signed on the back of the frame not visible at all. Just got it addressed to me and signed as a bragging point to friends that it was actually Eric Grothe snr personally awarded item for making the top 100
