  4. might be worth $30-$50 unless you have some kind of authentication to go along with it. A picture of the shovel being used would also be helpful.

    A couple of years ago, a shovel just like the one mentioned sold on Ebay for about $20. There were several shovels used on the ground breaking. Is this shovel gold? I'd be interested if you contact me at

    Dude, I've had to buy a bigger house with my own OU room in it. It's getting ridiculous.
    I go to all the home games and many of the away games. I've been to the last 6 bowl games. You wanting to buy me a beer?
     

  10. Sure. I was trying to see if you are one of the guys that hangs around after the home games and get autographs. It sounds like you are a younger cat, so I think my initial perception of you was wrong. There is an older man, about 50-60 yr old range that hangs around after games to get autos....

    I'm 39, not a young cat but not an old timer either. I usually gather my sigs before the game. I don't concentrate on the current team, they are easy to get at the hotel or at fan day or the Red White. I go after the old timers. Players from the 50's are my favorite and you'd be surprised at how many are around during the home games. I also have several connections that allow me to meet former players. Last year I got sigs from over 100 different former players.
     

  12. Man, you and me need to meet up. Email me at [email protected] and tell me about seeing the teams at the hotels.

    Get the shovel signed and it will quadruple in value. Get pics of Barry signing it.
