They're going for around $150 on ebay and craigslist. I'd like to pay less than that.

If you only have to pay $50 more than what they origionally sold for 17 years ago, jump on it.

Why don't you just ask someone to give you one for free...:) pitiful!

I was also fortunate enough to have gotten a piece from the endzone...It's one of my most prized possessions.

Just bought one off Craigslist a month ago. I found mine on Nashville Craigslist. There was another one on either there or Knoxville or Chattanooga. My guy was asking 150 and I got it for 125. Make sure you get the certificate of authenticity with it. SPent another 100 on framing it and its great. Worth every penny.

I wouldn't mind buying one of these if any of you have one for sale and didn't sell it to the OP.

Not to be too much of a girl, but what is a turf plaque? I googled and checked ebay before I asked and couldnt find any results.

Back in the ole days, when the Vols played on a green rug (I swear it is true :yuck:), the rug finally got worn out. Recruits wouldn't play on rugs anymore, we weren't the only team who played on a rug in the SEC.

When I was a froshboy, I snuck onto the rug, past 27 armed guards (ex Viet Vets) to stand proudly in front of an imagined crowd of 80,000. Man, it was ruff and laid over concrete. Concrete. :yuck:

OK, so they left the gates open all the time and anybody could walk out onto the rug but f*** that, it's still a great story. :mf_surrender:

The Powers That Be (Holdin the Money) decided real grass might be :good!: Considering out of the $190gazillion $$$ budget/donation base, real grass would cost a whole 2% to install and maintain. So they upped the price of the Rotdogs $1 and Voila!, grass. :pepper:

Before they pulled up the rug, some wise, sage ever thoughtful marketing moron put in place a campaign to sell the rug in 1" x 1" pieces for $100 each. They sold the entire rug and UT pocketed enough money to pay for Peyton Manning. :ph34r:

@Ari you sure wasted a lot of breathe on that bs. It's just artificial turf UT sold when they switched to natural grass.

My plaque is approximately 3x5" of green turf. Were there other sizes?

BTW, my green turf plaque has more blood, sweat and tears soaked in it than any end zone piece out there.

Mine is a 3" x 5". My aunt gave it to me as a Christmas present that year. I had no idea they were worth that much.

I hope you're not referring to the $1,000 the guy references above lol. They sell for the same/less now than they did when they were first sold new. Just cant find them!
