Title: Buying GAA Medals
Post by: Bud Wiser on January 06, 2017, 01:10:02 PM
With the dominance of the Dubs in the football, and it likely to continue into the next fifteen years, I am asking anyone who has resorted to buying medals and who visits any of the sites like EBay, Adverts.ie, Amazon to keep an eye out for the following:   2016 All-Ireland Club Football Final medal, Leinster Club Football Final Medal and Dublin SF Championship Final Medal.  These were taken Christmas week.   (Unlikely to be in Laois, we don't need medals, only in it for the fun)
Thanks very much.

Maybe the Dub County Board or AIB will see this and go into Joe Duffy mode and replace them under the circumstances of which they were stolen.

No, not another Dublin thread, you are right. Not even a thread you have to reply to, just if you see the medals advertised give us a shout, thats all.

Pictures of the medals. Serious amount of these thefts, break ins to houses and sheds and cars being taken going on in Dublin at the moment. We were done on Easter Sunday last year, came back to house turned inside out, great way for the lads to commemorate the Rising.  >:(

Maybe not the best idea to leave a sticker that says '9 carat gold' on it.

Would one that said 'Milk chocolate' faired better?

I'll check out the adverts in the Northern Standard, The Argus and  Gay Porn Senitel (popular in Tyrone).
If I see anything suspicious I'll send you a Gaaboard private message, are you linked into the Gaaboard emergency contact service?

Bud - was sorry to hear about this. Hopefully the medals can be returned to their owner ASAP. Tell him the lads are asking for him.  ;)

What you really are saying is that  you can't spot a Bud wind up

This isn't a wind up Main Street. The medals belong to Conal Keaney, who used to (still does?) work with Bud.

Don't be a dick Main Street. You're off base on this one. As I said, Bud works, or worked, with Keaney and would know him well. Conal helped us out with the Golf thing we did a few years ago. This is legit.

Don't call me dick, you bogman ;D
That opening post is a wind-up ,
If it was meant to be serious then you couldn't better it if you wanted to write a wind-up.

A plea to anyone who resorts to buying medals??  ;D

You meant to say there are people who resort to buying AI medals because of the likely dominance of the Dubs for next 15 years?

Wind your neck in MS. You totally fcuked up here by jumping to the wrong conclusion. Just move on but it would be better if you accepted your error, people would respect that.

The price of medals !  See what Nicky Rackard's sold for.  Also here http://www.irishtimes.com/life-and-style/homes-and-property/fine-art-antiques/value-of-gaa-medals-rockets-1.1855635 (http://www.irishtimes.com/life-and-style/homes-and-property/fine-art-antiques/value-of-gaa-medals-rockets-1.1855635)is prices for mementos of Kevin Barry, did I send someone a copy of the publication for his mass when he was removed to Glasnevin Cemetery? O'Neill or someone?  I still have another one of the funeral mass of Kevin Barry if anyone wants it.

An All-Ireland Football medal will be worth some money in Laois when we win our first.

Great to see Magpie, AZ and a few more here after all the years.

They just get a blow torch to them and melt them or take them to that ass with all the "Cash For Gold" adds.  Jaysus there was an awful spate of robberies the weeks before and after Christmas, everywhere, going into houses with people in them and everything at all hours of the day and night.
