Holiday Shopping on EBay

Buying the perfect gift for the Sports Fan

Nobody is ever going to accuse the Stool of neglecting the ladies. At least not after this article. As a public service to all our female readers we have decided to help the ladies find the perfect gift for their significant other. And the beauty of our list is that you don’t even have to leave the comfort of your own home to buy any of the following items. Nope, thanks to Internet and a little site people call EBAY all of these items can be yours at the click of a button. But don’t thank us, thanks the people who put these items up for bid. So without further ado and here are the top 17 Sports related items we found for sale on EBAY.

Elway Sweater

1. Beautiful Denver Broncos Vintage Sweater--Great Colors! This great knit sweater has very nice colors! This is from the good ole Elway days! It's an adult size large and is made of 75% orlon and 25% wool. It's an authentic Proline and has the NFL logo on the tag. In the picture one of the sleeves is rolled up or you can leave them down. It's in very good condition, no snags or problems. Please email with any questions.

Who doesn’t want to find a butt ugly 75% orlon sweater in their stocking? I know I do. And I love the versatility of this sweater. You can roll the sleeves up or leave them down. It’s like a transformer. But the icing on this cake for me is the fact that there are “no snags” in it!

Tyson Botha T-Shirt

2. YES! TYSON BOTHA T-Shirt Sz. XL WOW! If this isn't a rare one, I don't know what is! TYSON BOTHA T-shirt Size XL in VERY GOOD condition. These are getting harder and harder to find and I only have this one left!

Wow is right! I can’t speak for all men, but I know I’ve always wanted a keepsake from the Tyson fight where Iron Mike tried to break the arm of the White Buffalo. But Ladies you better hustle on this one too because the seller only has one left.

Celtics T-Shirt

3. T-shirt recently discovered in a box of salesman's samples, unearthed from a retired beer-distributor salesman's garage or attic. Don't know how rare or collectible it is, but if you have a family member who is a big Boston Celtics fan, basketball fan, or collector of beer or sports memorabilia, this could be a perfect holiday gift! Shirt is white with Celtics-green at neck & sleeves. Artwork is as follows:1986 Lite/NBA All-Star Voting Celtics All-Star Nominees Larry Bird * Robert Parrish * Kevin McHale Dennis Johnson * Celtics Logo * Danny Ainge (Note: Only the players' first names are under each picture.) Thanks for considering this auction.

This one is real simple. Anytime you can get a shirt with the Big 3 on it combined with DJ and Ainge it’s a no brainer purchase. My one question with the shirt is did it come from the beer distributor’s garage or attic? This seems like crucial information.

Rayon Basketball Jersey

4. THIS IS VERY COOL 1950'S RAYON BASKET BALL JERSEY, IN GREAT VINTAGE CONDITION. THE NUMBER "54" IS STITCHED ON AND IT'S A MEN'S SIZE M. NICE VINTAGE PIECE. SCORE!

I’ve got to admit that when I first saw this item I got really excited about it, but the more I look at it the more I’m beginning to think I may be able to recreate this item by purchasing a green tank top at an Army Navy store and then making the number 54 out of masking tape.

Arnold Shirt

5. On A&E's movie presentation 'See Arnold Run', you can see a young Arnold training wearing his 'Arnold is Numero Uno' shirt!! Don't be fooled by other's with a screener simply mass producing the shirt. We specialize in the Arnold shirt, apparel, and lifestyle. Our quality and service cannot be matched! The famous "Arnold is Numero Uno" shirt appears in the Pumping Iron movie as Arnold won his 6th consecutive IFBB Mr. Olympia contest in 1975. The scene epitomizes Arnold's nature, showing him enjoying a huge piece of cake with his Numero Uno shirt on. Our goal was to re-create the shirt Arnold wore that day.

The beauty of this item is that whoever you buy this for never has to know that this shirt isn’t the authentic. And they’ll never find out because this company specializes in Arnold apparel. Who else could capture Arnold’s nature shown through him eating a huge piece of cake?

Corona Shirt

6. CORONA EXTRA TEE SHIRT

Even if you can’t think of anybody on your list that is dying for a Corona Extra T-shirt this year, I hear that mass produced beer shirts are so tough to find that it may be worth purchasing this one of a kind item just in case you need it for future years.

Buzz Capra uniform

7. YOUR ARE BIDDING ON A 1980's CHICAGO WHITE SOX BASEBALL UNIFORM SIGNED BY BUZZ CAPRA.THIS HAS THE CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY CERTIFIED BY DENNY GRAZIANO SPORT INVESTMENTSTHIS JERSEY IS MADE BY ROMAN SPORT THE WORD ''SOX'' IS SEWN ONTO THE FRONT OF THE JERSEY IT IS A RED MESH WARM-UP JERSEY.

I wouldn’t have suggested buying this item unless it came with the certificate of authenticity because the market is so hot right now for Buzz Capra merchandise that it is flooded with fake Capra merchandise.

Ricky Bell Shirt

8. Ricky Bell New T Shirt – NEW –XL – BUCCANEERS

This isn’t the greatest description in the history of EBay, but pictures don’t lie. How can anybody turn down what appears to be a Ricky Bell topps card pasted on a puke orange T-shirt? It’s like a match made in shirt heaven.

Atlanta Hawks Cheerleaders top

9. Up for bid is an Atlanta Hawks Cheerleaders top. I acquired the top in 1996 when I was at The Omni. I do not know what year the top is from. The name "Deneen "is hand written on the label along with a "z". The writing on the label from the mfg. is Taffys Showstoppers Costumes, LA, made in U.S.A., along with cleaning instructions. The word "Hawks" is a sewn on patch made of a silk like material and the top is also a silk like material but most likely a polyester blend. The bottom of the top has elastic around it and it ties in the back, leaving the back exposed. I do not know anything else about the top. This will make a great gift for the sports minded person in your life or for your own sports memorabilia room. Enjoy and thank you for looking.

We couldn’t go this entire article without including something for the ladies. After all who doesn’t want to look hot when shaking your ass at the clubs? Guys have throwback jerseys and now ladies have throwback cheerleader tops. Imagine the looks you’ll get when you walk by with your vintage “Deneen” backless Hawks top.

Pete Rose shirt

10. This auction is for a brand new commemorative "ONE OF A KIND", 100% silk shirt with actual game photos of Pete Rose. This shirt is brand new, although it doesn’t have the tags attached. It is a short sleeved button down, with amazing action photos of Pete Rose EMBLAZENED all over the front and back of the shirt. Some of the pictures are in color and some are in black and white, which really adds to the novelty of this item. Also hidden within and between the design are the words "PETE" "ROSE", with a three dimensional look to it. Pete's autograph is on the front and the back of the shirt. This is a men's EXTRA LARGE, and runs full. The shirt is made by "Silk Club", and has 6 buttons. The only acceptable methods of payment are paypal and money orders. Please email me if you have any questions regarding this item.

This isn’t a shirt. This is a freaking Picasso. Only the “Silk Club” could create something like this. What doesn’t this shirt have besides tags? I mean it’s got Color photos, black and white photos and the cherry on top is that the word Pete Rose is hidden within the design. I’d only recommend buying this shirt for somebody you could envision spending the rest of your life with. You don’t want to send the wrong message if you’re not serious.

Figure Skating shirt

11. This is a 100% cotton White t=shirt size ADULT LARGE of THE 1996 WINTER TOUR OF WORLD FIGURE SKATING CHAMPIONS. Front and back has a photo of the various skaters inside of a star. Shirt is NEW, NEVER WORN, Winner to pay $3.85 shipping in US by MONEY ORDER or PAYPAL.

The first thing I always look for when buying my 1996 Figure Skating shirts is to make sure that they are new and never worn. Thankfully this shirt passes the test. Although I do have to wonder why the shirt is being worn in the photo? This would seem to contradict that assertion. But I’m just going to pretend I didn’t notice that.

Bucks Watch

12. Bucks Basketball Watch Mellow Yellow Ad. Plastic strap. Digital read out. Vintage.

Nothing screams class like a nice watch. And nothing screams nice watch like plastic straps, a mellow yellow logo, and a Bucks logo. Forget the Rolex, if you want your man to dress for success no wardrobe is complete without this classic time piece.

Daytona T-shirt

13. Vintage Original Daytona International Speedway Track Half T-Shirt . This is not a replica or an aftermarket, I purchased it brand new at the Daytona International Speedway race track ten years ago. The tag states Fruit of the Loom, Size Small (Adult), 100% cotton, preshrunk and made in the U.S.A. It was only worn only once, and is like new, in very good condition. We are cleaning out our closet and getting rid of everything we can no longer fit in or wear and this shirt has been preserved and hanging in the closet for many years, and although it's sentimental and I don't want to part with it I must face the reality. So, take advantage of this great vintage offering at a terrific price! I have several shirts that I will be listing over the next few days, and I will always offer combined shipping on multiple purchases. I do ask that payment be made immediately following the auction end, if you are bidding on more than one item, please drop me a note to let me know that, and I won't expect payment until the additional auction(s) have ended. Thank you for Looking and Happy Auctioning!

For all the ladies out there who want their man to strut his stuff at the club, this is the perfect gift to give them. Only the Daytona Half Shirt allows guys to flaunt their abs or lack thereof. I’m telling you right now that the Daytona half shirt is destined to replace the ugly tight shirts that muscle heads wear to bars. So while it’s sad that the seller has been forced to “face reality” and needs to part with this sentimental item, one person’s loss is another’s gain. And to think that the fruit of the loom shirt has only been worn once and you can still buy it at a terrific price! Let the bidding begin.

Bruiser Brody T Shirt

14. BRUISER BRODY T SHIRT. RARE. AUTHENTIC. WWE/WCW/AWA This shirt is a size XL. It is in brand new condition and has never been worn. It is authentic.Gd luck to all bidders.

The seller is right about one thing with this item. You are going to need luck to win this auction. In fact it may actually be a waste of time bidding with all those Bruiser Brody fanatics out there who would kill for this rare and authentic shirt. And after Googling Bruiser on the Internet, I can only assume the value of this shirt will increase due to the fact the Bruiser is dead.

Hines House T-shirt

15. 100% heavyweight ultra cotton in an adult size large. New without tags. The body of the t-shirt is black. There are pictures that show buildings HINES HOUSE...... Picture of HINES WARD #86 in his football helmet and his signature on the left side. There are many different colors on the front. See pictures as this t-shirt is too fantastic to describe. Has short sleeves, crew neck and straight hem. This is a beautiful t-shirt that any HINES WARD fan would be proud to own and wear!!!!!

You know when I first read the description of this shirt I really didn’t think too much about it. But the seller was right; there are truly too many different colors on the front and t shirt is too fantastic to describe. Words simply can’t do it justice. In fact it is so fantastic that I can’t help but want to buy the shirt and I don’t even like Hines Ward.

Pound for Pound shirt

16. This auction is for rare College Lane size M 50 % cotton 50 % polyester T Shirt of Pound for Pound the Best Boxing Around., with Trump Plaza name and logo on the back. It's in excellent condition, never been worn, and you'll enjoy adding it to your collection. See shipping and payment information below.

Now we’re talking. It’s one thing to have commemorative t-shirts from fights like Tyson-Botha and it is completely different to find the ultra rare generic boxing t-shirts. Sure you may be able to find “pound for pound” t-shirts in other places, but only on EBay will you find the pound for pound shirt with the Trump Plaza name and logo on the back.

Carlisle High football jacket

17. Exceptional old Carlisle High School football jacket from their "1960" undefeated season. This coat is in original excellent condition. Made in New York City by Felco Athletic Wear... 100% wool...size 42. Carlisle is located in Cumberland County, Pennsylvania and their high school is home to the "Carlisle Thundering Herd "......Carlisle is a great sports school and have had many great athletes including Billy Owens who led the basketball team to four state titles.

Rare item for the Carlisle sports or history collector. Buyer to pay $18.00 S/H/I USA. All sales final unless not as described. Please ask any questions.

I’ve always said that no sports memorabilia collection is complete without a piece of Carlisle High School clothing. You just can’t be taken seriously without having something from Billy Owens Alma Mater. And now you finally have the chance to purchase a piece of Thundering Herd paraphernalia. And even if you’re not a collector, but just in the market for somebody else’s high school letterman jacket then this auction is you. These opportunities to own a complete strangers’ jacket simply don’t come around too often.

So there you have it. 17 great gift ideas for the man in your life. You can find all these items in the sports memorabilia category on EBay. Don’t thank me, thank EBay. Good luck and happy auctioning!
