History
I was a dvvepartment manager at The Tuscaloosa News and got tickets from the paper for the Auburn game. I got (or discovered is a better word) the Iron Bowl ticket at the game, Late in the game I was standing after a Tide score and happened to look down. It was lying on the concrete with the late game debris on the concourse. What a find!

That was the item that started the idea. I had four tickets for the Penn State game. I was going to drive north and go to the game with my father and brother-in-law, but I COULDN'T MAKE IT. My father and brother-in-law did go, but I had the other 2. I realized that the history of the first two tickets was fantastic so I purchased 2 for the Liberty Bowl.

That was the unusual start to a fantastic collection.
