If it's like the one Bobby Hill was holding at one of those meet the player nights... it looks shit. The handles are skinny and weird looking.eddiesmith wrote:Just checked one out today from Melbourne in 2021, holy crap they look cheap and shit!!!What'sinaname wrote:Some facebook fool spent $1000 on a full size replica premiership cup.
Decided to not buy any memorabilia until I’ve seen it in person, glad I have as the framed prints all look different in person. Think I’ll get the panoramic shot signed by Darcy, looks great!
I'd hate to think how much I've spent on postage over the years. I guess you're paying for the convenience of not having to go to the shops.eddiesmith wrote:I’m sure that warning that went up wasn’t there on the day, but, when you charge postage it’s a bit ridiculous to suggest people should order everything individually…
Yep, I could only see it on top of a shelf but looked so tacky and plastic looking.Presti35 wrote:If it's like the one Bobby Hill was holding at one of those meet the player nights... it looks shit.

I have a replica Brownlow and a replica Premiership Medallion. They look ok. But you can def tell they're not the real thing. I also have a replica Norm Smith and Premiership Medal from 1990 and they look absolutely unreal. I had a big frame they sold when Bucks retired and it had a replica Brownlow and Norm Smith in it that looked really good. I remember my friend got a James Hird one and they were printed.
But back to the replica cup... man for a grand... you'd want to look at it first.
There’s one shop I’d buy stuff from that had weird hours, it’d seem easier to order online but I hated paying $10 shipping for it to travel 2 minutes down the road!!!Presti35 wrote:I'd hate to think how much I've spent on postage over the years.

But yes, to suggest you make more than one order to get things faster is ridiculous. We're not all on Ben McKay money.
A guy I follow in insta has shared a pic. It looks like shite. The asking price should be $50. Even then, I'd prob still pass.eddiesmith wrote:Yep, I could only see it on top of a shelf but looked so tacky and plastic looking.
If you look at an Instagram account "Magpie_Mondays", its a few posts down. It's a nice piece to display.eddiesmith wrote:I think I have the same 1990 one, in a box? I found it at home the other other day and added it to the bar.
I have a Brownlow with all the winners listed in a small box. It has a little light which adds nothing but a tacky look. The Premiership medal is from this year with a pic of the team in the same size box as the Brownlow... and the same tacky light. I dont think they're quite worth the price. I rushed into buying the Premiership medal.eddiesmith wrote:Are the replica medals you’ve got the ones in a little box with all the Collingwood winners listed? Been thinking of getting them, wonder if they’ll update the premiership one though?
Yeah. Many have made purchases online to avoid missing out. I know I have.eddiesmith wrote:I’m not a big fan of online shopping as I like to see stuff in person, the only reason for doing all this online shopping is a worry it’ll be gone if I don’t!
Cheers, yeah the 1990 one is the same I’ve got, is a good piece. Been in hiding for 10 years as used to be on Dads desk at work, but now it’s front and centre on my bar!Presti35 wrote: If you look at an Instagram account "Magpie_Mondays", its a few posts down. It's a nice piece to display.

Also check Magpie_Mondays instagram story to see both.
I hope so, I’ve got the 1990 one and wish I had 2010, but definitely would buy a 2023 one!stui magpie wrote:I've still got the framed print of the Jamie Cooper painting of the players celebrating in the rooms for 2010 (no23/300). Anyone know if he's still doing them or if someone else will be doing something similar for 2023?
This must be on a "when it suits them" basis. I ordered three items, today I got two of those, with the third to be dispatched at a later datePresti35 wrote:They said that things are not printed until the final siren sounds and that everything will be sent in one parcel and that if I wanted things earlier, I needed to do separate orders. Um ok then.
