Do I win?


considering that looks home made, i would say yes you win this thread.


Only things I still have from back in the day is my empire poker watch. I might have that poker stars monkey in a bin of old dog toys tho maybe. Also a couple chips I took from the ME circa 06

I paid an airbrush artist to paint me a shirt of my favorite player, Barry Greenstein. Then I tracked him down in Las Vegas and got a picture with him. He was cool.





I also got a knock-off Full Tilt Poker baseball jersey made shortly after Black Friday. The name was Bharara, for Preet Bharara, the U.S. District Attorney in the Southern District of New York, who caused Black Friday. The 15 number was because Black Friday was April 15, 2011.

I wore the jersey in Las Vegas in 2012 and no one thought it was funny. At all.

How about this piece of "silver" I received from Pokerstars for the 2006 WSOP




Also included in the "shwag bag" was t shirts, sweatshirts, a poker stars baseball, which we actually used for homerun derby one day and it dented. The only things I have left are that piece of "silver" and the bag, which I keep firearms and ammunition in.

I miss those days when you qualified online and Stars would even take care of buying you into the Main Event so you never had to take possession of the $10K. Plus you got 8 nights at the Palms (or Mirage, Treasure Island, etc. before they moved to The Palms). Hope those days return soon!

I posted before I went through this whole thread. This is a similar version of the baseball I referred to above. Obviously made of the same materials and would obviously dent if you ever tried to play baseball with it, like I did. But I agree not only did Pokerstars give out a ton of crap, the convention hall at the RIO had a sh*t ton of collectibles. It was awesome in 2006 and it's never been the same since.

I still use my UltimateBet duffle bag from the 2006 WSOP.

I still have my 2006 WSOP Main Event seat cushion, and know exactly where it is.

Shortly after the 2006 WSOP Main Event, those all in buttons were selling for north of $100 on ebay. I didn't sell mine .

But my best is the FTP Black Card I got!

And of course the pokerstars monkey...

Look at the pelicans fly.

TJ Cloutier craps debts were collected by quite a few back then. Quite a few.

Probably better than the ones Empire Poker gave away with their very weird geometric progression VIP program.

My pink Party Bingo hat still stands the test of time, it definitely instills fear in the grannies when they see it.

All from ultimate bet. Man they may have cheated people out of their money but they knew how to take care of people. The only thing I think I still have is the ub track suit with the tags still on it since it was like 3x too big for me. I think I'll wear the truck suit to wpt Montreal for a good throw back.

Sick bump btw.
Post a pic of you wearing the track suit and you might win.

This is my favorite poker 'collectible' that I own.

I hosted a home game tournament last week. One of my college friends showed up with his 06 ALLIN button and his Full Tilt ME 2006 tshirt. Lots of lols

What a great thread!

There was lots of great poker TV from back then but of course there was TONS of trash too, some of which even made it to DVD.

Picked this up recently and it's absolutely abysmal.

Why would Lederer need more rake when he could just take your whole deposit?
