For the past 6 (I think) years, I have been doing various charity events for the local food bank (
Home - Fredericksburg Area Food Bank). This year we have partnered with other sports memorabilia dealers and through some connections I was even able to get the Redskins to participate.
Part of the event will be a competition between Redskins and Cowboy fans. The auction will be during the morning show on WFLS (
WFLS 93.3 FM - Homepage) the week of November 12-16. The event will open and close with comparable Redskin and Cowboy memorabilia. We will add up both day's totals for the two teams and find out which fans are more loyal.
You can listen to the show on FM 93.3 if you are in the area, or online if not. You place bids by calling the morning show and can even arrange to have the items shipped to you directly by the people at the Food Bank. This is a great event where 100% of the gross proceeds go to purchase families a holiday dinner. Every bid will add several more people that can have a holiday meal.
Below is a cut and paste from my website. I can tell you the Hanburger jersey is really cool and something that Chris has never made available to the public before. We also have no plans on doing anything like it for the commercial market:
