My Jets Man Cave Unveiling

[chrisfaceoff]

Hey guys, its been a little while since posting. Earlier this year moved out of my parents house into my own house, and in between re-painting EVERY ROOM but 2, I have been hard at work on my den which has become my Jets Man Cave. I'm really happy with how this has turned out. I had a rough idea of how I wanted to do things, but it became like a puzzle and all the pieces began falling place.

There's a lot of depressing stuff going on right now, so i'm hoping to provide a little relief unveiling it off to the rest of my JetNation friends 

The first part is what you see when you come down the stairs. Some figures, foam fingers, and some pictures.  On the wall is a pic of my dad and I at both of our first game, 2008 Jets Vs Rams.  47-3 Final score Jets W.  Got to see Brett Favre play his best game as a Jet.  Only game without an interception, and the only thing Jets fans boo'd about was not going for a FG at the end for 50 points.  This was still the largest margin of victory as well.  Also pictured is me with Sam at last years training camp, a Mark Gastineau signed photo and a Joe Namath Silver Ink signed photo

Next as you turn into the den a few framed jerseys and card display.

The Sheldon Richardson is a signed Game Used Jersey from his rookie year when he won Defensive Rookie of the Year and a Sack Exchange jersey signed by all 4 members of the sack exchange

Behind the sectional is my bobble head collection over the years from games as well as purchases

Zooming out is a couple more framed Jerseys:

A Game used Jeremy Kerley(from when he scored his first NFL touchdown), and a Boomer Esiason game used signed jersey.  Boomer Esiason is the reason I became a Jets fan when I was younger(My dad was an Eagles fan, and I wanted my own team to root for, so I took the Jets because they were Green like the Eagles, and Boomer was the coolest name int he world to a 5 year old kid)  This is my favorite piece in my collection.

Around the corner is my professionally framed Joe Namath Signed jersey, a Boomer Pennant as well as a card display that has all Boomer, Darnold, and Joe Namath Autographs, Patches, or jersey cards.

In front of the sectional is the jumbo 82 inch TV, and framed Wayne Cherbet and Curtis Martin signed jerseys.  The Martin has the HOF inscription.

And on the last wall is the rest of my collection.  Some stuff on this wall:

Darnold, Namath, Esiason, and Maynard signed Mini Helmets
Signed team footballs from 09-19 one each year for training camp(I purchased the one from 2011 with the lockout, but aside form that all the sigs were acquired by me on the team balls)
Mark Sanchez signed football that was for season ticket holders(purchased on eBay) with the new stadium on it
Mark Sanchez sweatband from Training camp
Santonio Holmes signed Photo
Some custom McFarlane figures
Mini Helmets on the top
Other collectibles

And then another card display of autographs or patches

Some close ups of the jerseys:

And another angle of the room to show off some mini pennants across the beam:

The Jeremy Kerley jersey really brings the whole room together. 

[Greensleeves]

Amazing job - it's going to be a lot of fun watching games in there. Congrats!

Might be one of a kind.

If we would've only drafted Henry Ruggs III, that would've really tied the room together.

[TuscanyTile2]

Excellent job though it really sucks that we've have so few superstars that we have to celebrate Boomer and Kerley (though nothing against either).

@Gastineau Lives has a lightly-worn Jamal Adams jersey he’s looking to move. It’s an authentic, but it reeks of Drakkar Noir. $50 obo.

[HawkeyeJet]

Big bonus points for the wood stove.  Many of my childhood football memories are associated with the engulfing warmth of my parents wood stove.

[RobR]

That is fantastic, I especially like the Sack Exchange signed jersey. 

[slats]

I think your Jets memorabilia collection is worth more than my retirement account. 

[Jetlife33]

Stunning 

[JustEndTheSuffering]

That’s awesome man. Keep us updated with any new additions!

Max not sharing the wealth eh?

Trickle down economics sucks at the bottom.

LMAO you must be clairvoyant. Drakkar Noir just came up! Probably as you were typing that, no joke.

So, a woman doesn't currently live in this house, correct?

[FidelioJet]

Congrats man!

That’s amazing.

Nice torture chamber

She’s in the process of moving in actually. We’ve been together for a year next year but she’s a bit further away(about an hour and 30 minute drive)

 

she’s a teacher so she’s trying to find an open position down this way. She’s actually a big football fan so even though it’s not her team she doesnt mind it haha

For the most part I agree. Although Boomer has a big meaning to me so being able to secure that game used Jersey was my “white whale” of realistic authentic game used additions I could get.

Thanks man. 
 

my main hobby is gambling on sports cards. I’m not sure if anyone has an interest in seeing some of those but I do have a nice little collection. 
 

sadly it’s also made up of a lot of busts from recent rookies as well:

hack

hill

Devin Smith

Jace Amaro

 

and the list goes on and on haha

 

but I do have some nice older stuff in addition to Namath Darnold and some others.

"Doesn't mind" is code for, "this will be gone in another year."

Keep an eye on her pintrest.

I don’t have season tickets, and actually have only been to about 6 games total. Someone put the Sanchez ball on eBay and I pounced on it at the time. 
 

even though he didn’t work out, I look back on Mark probably much More positively then I should 

[Paradis]

Gorgeous. 

So jealous of some fans' rooms like this. It's just jaw dropping to me. 

[Billyg]

Great job. Incredible!

So much dusting.

[shevys]

Super cool!!

Can’t wait to see how it looks with the 2020 AFC East Championship banner and NYJ SB55 Champions banner hanging in it. 

[The Crimson King]

Going to be a great place to watch the 2023 Jets Super bowl win

[Melly-Mel]

Hell yes!   Beautiful!   Congrats
