Sports collectibles - beyond the championship ring | ESPN
Uni Watch looks at championship bling that wasn't just rings - ESPN:
"Fortunately, there are other kinds of sports bling out there.
Those photos are from the collection of Bruce Menard, a 41-year-old from Connecticut who got bitten by the bling bug when he attended baseball card shows as a kid."
Those photos are from the collection of Bruce Menard, a 41-year-old from Connecticut who got bitten by the bling bug when he attended baseball card shows as a kid."
But the thing about a true collector is that he keeps collecting even when the collection is complete. In Menard's case, that meant delving into the sub-world of sports-related cuff links, charm bracelets, cigarette lighters, you name it. Soon he'd amassed more than 1,000 images of such trinkets.
Of course, some of those trinkets are better than others. Asked to choose some favorite examples of non-ring bling, Menard came up with the following list [of ten items]:

John Lennon's Letters: Sincerely, John - 'Pen and ink were his medium,' | via Newser
John Lennon's Letters to Be Published - 'Pen and ink were his medium,' says publisher:
"'Pen and ink were his medium,' said a spokesman for publisher Little, Brown. 'John wrote letters and postcards all of his life to his friends, family, strangers, newspapers, organizations, lawyers and the laundry—most of which were funny, informative, campaigning, wise, mad, poetic, anguished and sometimes heartbreaking.' The letters will be printed in chronological order 'so that a narrative builds up,' and many will be reproduced exactly in Lennon's handwriting or typing, along with 'the odd cartoon or doodle,' said the publisher."

"Happy Rabbit made his screen debut in the 1938 Looney Tunes cartoon Porky's Hare Hunt, directed by Ben Hardaway. Similar in tone and execution to the previous year's Porky's Duck Hunt, which introduced Daffy Duck, Porky's Hare Hunt involves Porky hunting a white rabbit whose wild antics drive him mad. Mel Blanc would later use his 'Happy Rabbit' voice characterization as the voice of Walter Lantz's Woody Woodpecker."
