Dallas Cowboys Memorabilia and Baseball Treasures Hit Home

As is true for so many middle-aged men, I grew up idolizing Roger Staubach, Tom Landry and the 1970s Dallas Cowboys. I made scrapbooks when the Cowboys won Super Bowls. My heart leaped out of my chest on the occasions Dallas came to Georgia to play my home-town Falcons and I got to watch two of my favorite teams play in person at Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium. I cried when Staubach walked off the field for the last time. I had cried even harder years earlier when my mom miraculously managed to get me a personally inscribed photo from him. I couldn’t believe that my hero would take the time to sign a photo for me — a scrawny kid with some physical challenges and a complete lack of self confidence. The photo still hangs on my bedroom wall today; I will never sell it.

Orion’s Attic is, however, letting go of the latest batch of Dallas Cowboys memorabilia that we obtained from the family of a collector we have been helping for several years. We have already put most of it up for sale in our Orion’s Attic eBay store. Check out the Sports Memorabilia department. It has been painful for me to actually put the collection up for sale as I would prefer to keep it all. That of course is not a good business practice. You can now obtain your own Cowboys nostalgia with fun Dallas Cowboys memorabilia pieces including:

• Vintage Danbury Mint figurines including the 10-figure 1970 Dallas Cowboys, The Doomsday Defense, Randy White and later figures such as Emmitt Smith
• Autographed cards by Randy White, Mel Renfro, Lance Alworth and letter from Cowboys’ President Tex Schramm (I’m still agonizing over whether to list a Tom Landry autograph and some Staubach pieces.)
• Photographs including a press photo from a game against the Washington Redskins and modern photos of Troy Aikman and Tony Romo
• A box of old Texas Stadium Tartan Turf
• Monday Night Football in Texas Stadium lighted figurine
• Precious Moments figurines, NFC East Division Championship cigarette lighter, buttons, Christmas ornaments, replica Super Bowl trophy, die-cast metal biplane, media guides/press guides, stained glass desk lamp, crystal Texas Stadium, sterling silver commemorative coins, Troy Aikman rookie card, Troy Aikman Starting Lineup graded figurine and much more.

We have also recently obtained other football memorabilia, baseball memorabilia, a few horse-racing pieces and some great boxing ephemera including Muhammad Ali ticket stubs from some of his famous fights. Check out our eBay store now and in the days and weeks ahead as we work our way through listing sports memorabilia including:
