One can never have enough 1986-86 collectibles from the historic Super Bowl XX Bears. I have found some interesting things in the past 2 1/2 years (that's about how long it has been since I formally updated this blog.
The first item is a 12 inch promo record by Mercury, which was sent the United Kingdom to be placed on air by DJs.
And how many people can say they own a 1986 Acco 40 Stapler adorned with the Bears name.
I have put together a few collages of miscellaneous items. Every item has it's own story, but pictures do have a way of making it self explanatory.
The Fridge's G.I. Joe. I have one in package and one figure out of package.

Good 'ole Jimmy Mac...his famous headband, blue blockers and an autographed Rolling Stone cover.
Here is a certain GEM of my collection. I bought these from an actual college level football Coach, whose name shall go unmentioned. They are COPIES of the 1985 Bears' Offensive and Defensive Playbooks. Seriously. They are. They show the infamous 46 Defense and some scribbled notes by Buddy Ryan in the margins:
Here is a recently acquired pin, about the size of a quarter. I have never seen one like it in my years of collecting.
Update 2014: Picked another knife, made by Frost Cutlery.
Here are 2 new brass key chains commemorating Super Bowl XX...
I picked up a couple of new Mike Singletary items, a 1990 Fleer card autographed and
an autographed cap.

Placemats from the Mayor's Breakfast for Hall Of Fame Enshrinees
and a newspaper and brochure for Richard Dent's HOF day

Oh, by the way, I bought it for $21.00 because it is a unique piece. This is what my research tells me. These were made for all of the Super Bowls as far as I know, and proceeds were provided to The Children's Miracle Network.

Old Super Bowl Stuff
Super Bowl Time
Since it is the Super Bowl tomorrow I will begin this post with some recently acquired 1985 stuff. Then, I will proceed and share the many, many items I purchased in 2010. Here is a nice mirror and then The Danbury Mint team figurine of Jim McMahon, Walter Payton, Mike Singletary and Dan Hampton. I believe that these were offered at $175 initially. Recent sales on Ebay have been in the $250-275 range. I snuck in a $150 bid and "stole" one at auction.
I'm not real sure on this wooden football. Obviously it is laser engraved and I believe that it is limited to 5,000 in production.
In 1986 Sears and WGN put together a limited edition of 4 lithographs. I have seen these offered for sale individually, usually framed and at a decent price of $40-$80 each. However, there is one seller on Ebay that must have obtained a boatload of them because he sells the entire set at $18.95. I was lucky enough to get the original packaging.
I have a metal key chain and the retail display that it came with. I am also aware of companies buying these particular key chains in bulk and printing their company name on the reverse side. These were then given to cutomers and clients.
Here is a SunTimes Super Bowl watches and 2 more from the era. I like to buy older watches especially original new stock. I don't go for the high end stuff, more the opposite, like under $20. I have other watches posted in a blog somewhere.
How 'bout that defensive guru, Coach Buddy Ryan. Here's an autographed pic.....and the music of
da Bears!
How 'bout that Frig-O-Rator? Here's some more of my Fridge stuff. Remember the Refrigerettes ?
