Anyone want a piece of Grizzlies history? 

Post#1 » by Downtown » Wed Dec 5, 2012 3:03 am

As some of you know I live in the Vancouver area. On our news tonight there was a story that the Vancouver Grizzlies floor from their practice facility is being sold, solid maple with the Grizzlies logo at center and the word Grizzlies on each end. They aren't sure what it's worth so they decided to ask $13,000 since that was their average attendance, or so they said.

The people who are selling it(the current owners of the building) even put an add on Craigslist and they've had over one hundred inquiries, mostly from schools looking to upgrade gymnasiums. If you go to craigslist from vancouver you can see pictures.

True story. Just thought it might make you smile :) . Personally I've still got some Grizzlies history, with a poster from their first season, an autographed Michael Dickerson shoot around shirt, a Grizzlies towel, and I think I've got every player that ever played for Vancouver player cards from Topps and such, with a few complete sets from various seasons. I don't know why but I still keep these stupid things around.

I get it. If they ever left Memphis - which seemed like a distinct possibility before Pera entered the deal with the local owners - I realized that I would still be a fan of them after relocation.

As for the floor - I'd like a piece of it - but they're selling the whole thing? Where I am supposed to store that?

I was going to repost on the NBA Grizz message board, but I can't find the Craig's list listing.

Trying to sell that Dickerson shoot around shirt? On another note, I've been on the hunt for an old school Dickerson jersey for a while.

I looked around the other night and I can't find it. I should have mentioned though that it was a size small and my son wore it. As far as a Dickerson jersey they pop up once in a while at the liquidator stores. I'll keep a look out but no promises since I might see one every couple of years.
