Young Almanacker, Kane McInerney, chided his Dad’s hurriedly bought Hawks beanie in frigid Launceston – “If the Hawksnest merchandise is offering a 20% discount, make sure you check that the logo on your item is not upside down or back to front…”
Somewhere in my unopened tea-chest is a t-shirt bought from a tout outside “Twickers” before the only Union game I’ll ever waste time attending – it was, I recall, a match involving the famed ’84 Wallabies (despite the inscription insisting 1983!)
Who else has some “unmemorabilia”?

yes, Smokie, the “exclusivity” of those privileged offers is questionable – at least there was a dodgy certificate of authenticity.
Kane’s Dad and I were stooged – it’s like buying a baggy green with an incorrect coat-of-arms.
