This Blazers fan has collected so much that heβs running out of things to collect By KGW Staff
This Portland Trail Blazers fan has collected to much memorabilia that heβs almost run out of things to collect.
Chris Goodall has a collection that would make any Blazer Maniac drool. His collection includes things you might expect like bobble heads and posters.
But his collection includes some more unexpected items too.
βItβs all blazers, everything. Every bobble head ever made, every tap handle Iβve ever seen, every beer sign that someone put up for sale,β said Goodall.
He even has the original blueprints for the MODA Center. But thepiΓ¨ce de rΓ©sistance is perhaps Goodallβs championship banners.
βThese are my prize possessions,β said Goodall. βTheyβre the banners that hung in the Memorial Coliseum.β
Goodall has every game day poster designed by local artists, a promotion the team started last season. Artists Meghan and Michel Verhey, who designed the poster for the Trail Blazers game against Denver, met Goodall and were in awe of his collection.
βAmazing,β said Michael. βLike, I wish I had any of this stuff.β
The couple, huge Blazers fans themselves, were excited at the opportunity to design the poster.
βWe racked our brains because this was a really big deal to us since the series from last year,β said Michael. βWe were really stoked when we got the news that weβd be able to do one.β
βItβs always like an outside your body experience of like, well I did that in my office or in my house and now everyone has it or sees it,β Meghan said.
And that poster that Meghan and Michael designed is commemorated forever in Goodallβs collection.
βItβs numbered so itβs rare and for a real collector like me itβs important to have that,β said Goodall.
