Few years later I traded it for a box of worthless comic books. 15 years pass and I am still carrying around the box of comics. I was so broke once I sold the box of comics for $15 so I could buy some smokes. True story! Don't tell the other guys though.

Back in 1991 my ex-wives sister's ex-boyfriend (got all that :-) won this at a silicon valley company party drawing. Being a 9er fan & Bronco hater he had zero interest in keeping it so gave it to me.
Have no idea if it's even worth anything on the open market, though I'd never part with itsigpic

I'd say the sentimental value far exceeds ever selling it.

I still occasionally buy a pack of cards to take me back to nostaligic days. I have all of my Broncos cards in a box stored away, plus two Elway Rookie cards.
I used to think they were my way from rags to riches, and now I just realize they are awesome memories of my youth. I used to love recess for the trades that would take place! Beckett card magazine that gave me a price and then going to the local card shop like I know how much this worth and this is what I want. Trade a card or two for a few packs of cards and life was good!sigpicThe Bronco fan pledge;
I am a Broncos Fan and I believe
I believe in Mile High Magic and bleed Orange and Blue.
I celebrate the Orange Crush, The Drive, and the Mile High Salute.
I create the THUNDER, share the common dream, and will forever be a proud citizen of
Bronco's Country.
