Brett Favre made 11 Pro Bowls in his illustrious career and holds the following NFL records: most career touchdown passes, most career passing yards, most career pass completions, most career pass attempts, most career interceptions thrown, most consecutive starts, and most career victories as a starting quarterback. Featured here are two Pro Bowl keepsakes that any fan of the 'Ole Gunslinger is sure to enjoy adding to their collection.
First is a robust metal trophy from the 2003 Pro Bowl honoring Favre as a regular participant in the NFL's annual All-Star Hula Bowl. The design features three football players statues in different stances, all standing over an even smaller depiction of Honolulu's most famous natural attraction, Diamond Head. The front of the trophy reads "PRO BOWL - ALL-STAR GAME - HONOLULU, HAWAII" flanked by the AFC and NFC logos. Below it is a nameplate engraved "BRETT FAVRE - 7 YEAR PARTICIPANT - FEBRUARY 2003". The rear is stamped "Diamond head Crater - Honolulu, Hawaii". The roundish base is approx. 7" in diameter and the tallest player stretches the length of the piece to 8". It weighs 5.8 lbs. The original trophy was issued to Favre. This one is the back-up made by the same manufacturer and given to the consignor who worked in conjunction with the NFL.
Included is a Brett Favre 2010 Pro Bowl game-issued jersey. He sat out the game due to injury. The 2009 regular season was one of Favre's best - certainly his most efficient - as he registered career-highs in passer rating (107.2) and completion percentage (68.4%) as well as a career-low 7 INT's, all while throwing for over 4,200 yards and 33 TD's. He took the Minnesota Vikings to within one game of the Super Bowl as they lost an OT heartbreaker to the Saints in the NFC Championship. The front of the Reebok jersey features a blue pattern with star-shaped designs and white trim on the sides, with his no. '4' in blue on white tackle twill on the chest and the NFL shield logo below the V-neck. On the mostly white back, 'FAVRE' appears in blue tackle twill and his no. '4' in white on blue tackle twill. The 2010 Pro Bowl patch is sewn in the blue lower back section. Each white sleeve has his no. '4' in the same pattern, the Vikings logo patch and Reebok logo with 4 red stars. The Reebok tagging at the shirttail has size 52 and 4" L.B. flag tags. There are no signs of wear on this game-ready jersey. It presents beautifully with all patches and elements intact and problem-free. It comes courtesy of a collector who attended many Pro Bowls as part of his profession.
Includes a Letter of Provenance from collector Robert Zweigle.

Bob Zweigle was a major supplier of promotional products to the NFL who personally attended 38 Super Bowls, working closely with NFL personnel and establishing unique connections that helped grow his collection. He designed/produced Super Bowl press pins from XXV through XXXIX (the final year the NFL produced its own pins). He also designed/produced the Player Participation Trophy and Player of the Game Trophy for the Pro Bowl, as well as the Arena Bowl Championship Trophy. He made it a personal quest to obtain in-person autographs on important memorabilia items at many sporting events wherein he had rare and unusual access.
