Owning UT history

[skasper06]

My dad just came to visit me in Knoxville and brought me a nice surprise - a basket full of newspapers that have been in storage since 1999.

He gave me his collection of every Tennessean newspaper after every Tennessee Vols win in 1998 including the national championship paper from the USA Today. He also gave me the Sports Illustrated special edition for the Vols that year.

Like I said...UT History. They are all perfectly preserved and will be framed and displayed proudly in my man cave.

Nice. I have that SI issue somewhere too but not the newspapers.

 

[YankeeVol]

Nice

 

[vol-un-tear]

Cool. I have the Tennesseean after we beat Florida in 98'. Good stuff!

[Special Ed]

You got anything on the previous Vol national championships?

 

[Hacksaw]

You've got a good dad.

Everybody saved the same stuff and it's pretty much worthless as collectibles. You have to get to 1960s and older items before you will find any real value for Vols ephemera like ticket stubs and game programs. Nice that the original poster's dad saved the stuff and gave it to him. I love it when my parents dump their worthless junk off on me so they don't have to feel the bittersweet pangs that accompany throwing away stuff that they've hoarded for years while saddling me with the caretaker role until they pass on and I can safely toss it out with a clean conscience.

This post makes you appear to be a real heartless ass.

Worthless?

I would never consider something my parents cherished and valued as worthless. There is something to be said for sentimental value.

I have the front page from the KNS but I prefer the version of the Daily Beacon I picked up on the first day back to class.

The truth isn't always pretty but in the words of the man for whom today is designated a holiday it will set you free.

That's what memories are for. You can cherish those without cluttering your space.

Wow...Your a miserable SOB aren't you? :yes:

Nah but I know what the Bible says about making judgments against others.

 

[tnvolfan16]

I picked up a couple copies of a newspaper they gave out as we left the fiesta bowl after the game. a local paper printed up some copies with generic stories, but VOLS WIN on the front page. probably worthless to most, but sure was sweet to be able to bring that home

And yet you questioned his parent's motive for passing these items on

And yet you questioned his parent's motive for passing these items on

as someone who's buried 5 great grandparents and 4 grandparents and whose parents are phasing into the downsizing phase of life I just know what I'm talking about. You didn't like my post and made a snap judgment. The fact still stands that the stuff is worthless and the op was basically gifted with some things that belong in a recycling bin. Nothing you assume about me will change that.
