my dad's Chiefs room / post your own!
 

My dad, who's a lurker on the board (redngold58), has spent the past several years of his life collecting any and every article of Chiefs memorabilia he can. Anything he gets goes into the computer room of my parents house. After years of collecting such items, you can imagine how ridiculously Chiefed-out this room is.

I called him last week and asked him if he had any pictures of the room because I wanted to give him some cred on the Planet, but to no avail. So I went home with my camera and snapped some shots of the room and its many elements for display on ChiefsPlanet. There are quite a few pictures, so hopefully this photobucket thing works, but enjoy!

He's put a lot of time and effort (and $, right dad?) into the room and it's his pride and joy.

here goes:

there it all is dad......now post!!!!!!!!!!!

:bravo::thumb::rockon::hail:

That's awesome. Well done.

How many coats of that red did it take to paint that room?

Brother, that is kool! Wish I had a shrine just close to that.

That is a kick ass room!! That's a great looking bunch of guys in your signature also ;)

I don't even think the Chiefs' organization has that much stuff. Very cool!

Very cool. It looks like on that white tshirt it says something about the Raiders being like Autumn Wind. This whole board can ad lib it from there.

I'm dizzy, and a little vaklempt.

That is one proper collection and room. Is your old man going to Canton?

An Elvis Grbac jersey? Seriously?

indeed it is....

now...can you find yourself in any of the pictures?

yeah.....that one was mine STFU

He's gonna need a bigger room pretty soon! Good job.

One tip though, the Pro Bowl jersey in the window could start to fade if left in direct sun light.

The baseball caps in the shape of an arrowhead are a very nice touch.

Well, well, done!

Hat's off to your Dad!

that is awesome....

tell your dad thanks for me...humbling to be a small part of those memories.

good call.....I'll let him know

Awesome. :clap:

he's just happy to have you up on the wall

flippin SWEET!

Is that Alabama 55 the genuine article?

sadly no.....he found a maroon-ish helmet and bought a white 55 number kit on ebay and doctored it up himself

he says 2

please give him my best and tell him thank you.

will do, sir

It's still cool. That would be one hard if not impossible piece of history to acquire.

What's that 45 in the corner next to the "Chiefs and Chopper" banner?

My thought as well.

Cool room!

Damn, you make even Nzoner look like an amateur. :wayne:

It makes me wish for a place of my own. I got a ton of sweet Chiefs stuff just need a place to display it all.

Thanks for posting this! I always love to see what people have. I have some pretty cool stuff too, but haven't gotten it all displayed yet. Some highlights:

Actual helmet telephones used by the Chiefs from the years they drafted Derrick Thomas, Neil Smith, and Tony Gonzalez

Derrick Thomas signed game used Chiefs home jersey

Tony Gonzalez signed game used Pro Bowl jersey

And of course tons of autographs, etc.

My favorite piece I have though is a George Brett cracked bat. Here's what's special about this one though. Everyone remembers the pine tar game, well of course George kept that bat. Well, a pitch or two before that, he hit a long foul ball and cracked his bat. It also was full of pine tar. I have that bat.

That is truly Awsome!

awesome stuff!

woops...don't know what happened there

Very cool place....I have the one thing he needs...a KC Chiefs Foot Locker. It's sitting in my basement gathering dust.

#11 Grbac Jersey prominently displayed. Thread fail.

Charger Fan here,

May I ask what is the significance of the Chiefs - 49ers game?

Joe Montana game

Do you mean the 44? If so, it goes with the big picture above the computer. It's from the Chiefs/49ers game from back in the day when the Chiefs started their backup (I think it was Gannon) against Steve Young and the 49ers...we thought it was going to be just an absolutely horrible game, bit it turned into one of biggest blowouts. So, one year my mom had a panoramic picture that we had taken from our seats blown up and framed and made the plaques to look like parts of a scoreboard displaying the final score of the game

No. The final score in the Montana v. Young game was 24-17 (I just rewatched it a couple of weeks ago).

The 44-9 game was against Young, but Joe had already retired. It was a great game because they were favored and we kicked the shit out of them.

same as previous post...I'm pretty sure it was Gannom coming in and blowing up the 49ers D...it was a long time ago, and I was pretty young

Here is some of my stuff I have, I know mom can't wait till I get a place of my own so she can have her guest bedroom back. :)

Len Dawson autogeraphed frame jersey
Derrick Thomas autographed frame jersey
Len Dawson autographed photo
Marcus Allen autographed photo
Jan Stenrud autographed photo
Albert Lewis autographed football
Eric Warfield autographed picture (yeah, yeah I know)
4 George Brett autographed bats
20 different Royals signed balls

That is just some of the main stuff.

I think he means the record thats on the wall.

A bit before my time but weren't some records called 45s?

oh ok...I see now

yeah that's a TD Pack Band...which song(s) I don't know...I'll have to ask him

.

..

I just went from six to midnight!

...that poor bastard...

j.k.. awesome room man.

All I can say is...
he needs to freakin dust.

j/k. nice collection

very impressive! now take down that Grbac jersey!

and I just lol'ed

Anyone else notice the magazine clipping in the 2nd picture.... those were the days...

"Can anyone stop the Chiefs?" Yes, I believe 14 (SD two of those) teams can stop the ****ing Chiefs....

Thanks for that kick in the balls....buddy :D

Seriously though great room,mine is more of the NFL as a whole with one section dedicated to the Chiefs,

Need to do some dusting

I know, but I'm sure it's pretty hard to dust under and around all those small pieces of memorabilia....

and yeah, I look up at that magazine article every time I'm there and think back to 2003...oh the good ole times

oops

I think the coolest thing is the fact that there are pictures of his kids at games and w/ the memorabilia. Very cool!

He drives a camaro, huh?

Seriously, cool collection.

nope?

That's surprising. Did he use a deep base primer?

basing out in a purple primer works well...

Yep, I usually use this stuff from Sherwin-Williams...it is kinda purple-ish. Some of those bright colors can be a real bitch, I hate working with them.

Very cool.

I had the Otis Taylor artsy poster in pic 12 and the Chiefs #1 World Champs license plate in pic 14 and several of the football cards in pic 10. I'd forgotten all about that Taylor poster until I saw it again.

By far the coolest thing I wish I still had was an electric football game (the vibrating kind) painted out in Chiefs-Vikings SBIV. Just old school all the way around.

not sure....I know he's on here somewhere.....

DAD!!! ANSWER THIS MAN!!!!

yeah...he's had that Otis Taylor poster since he was 8....

:eek: My God; that's the Taj Mahal of man-caves! Super Ninja Awesome!:clap:

Yeah, I was talking about the record on the wall. "The Zing Band"!

Very nice. Very authentic. [See dust on Arrowhead model: Only in a real man cave.]

Check it out, it's still doing it:

Yep. 1997. The year I moved to Ohio. I was getting shit from a guy at work who was a 9er fan. He was convinced the Chiefs had no chance in that game.
Same with a few other guys. The following monday at work was a great day!:D

Ah yes, the 'MRI Bowl'. Epic game. I can still vividly recall the shell shocked look on Steve Young's face in the post-game comments.

Thanks,we definitely enjoy it especially during football season

such a great game....

haha yeah, that was the thing that stuck out the most to me. man, just five years ago, people were asking if anybody could stop them. now people are wondering if anybody can lose to them.

Sweet Room :thumb:

haha...yeah hopefully that will change this coming season

what I would like to know is the total coat of everything in that room

or the estimated overall value

...wow. Just WOW.

That is amazing.
