Priceless

I have a decent collection.

My favourites are a couple of cricket autographs I got as a kid.

Don Bradman and Harold Larwood. I wrote to both as a teen and they both replied.

Also wrote to Bill Ponsford but he was incapable of signing at the time but got a lovely letter from his family.

I also have a signature of a player named Hunter (Stork) Hendry, who debuted for Australia in 1921.

My son got Lehi to sign his manly jersey Sunday. Who knows in 15yrs time it could be the autograph of the greatest 1 in manly history!

Bit of trivia, first pic is 1980 squad wearing 1979 kit. A great side that didn't fulfil it's potential in '80 - '81 (as well as missing the finals in '79). The club did however make finals every year from '81 to '88 including two minor premierships ('83, '87) and one premiership ('87).
