So I sent the first post I made to my dad to show him the reactions he was getting. Those photos were from a bit longer ago than I originally thought. He redid the entire room setup within the last month and im honestly a bit speechless. It looks like it could be a store in my opinion, the fact this is part of the basement is mind blowing to me.

  2. That’s awesome. Wish the Brown family was even half as dedicated to the team as the fans are

  4. This is unbelievable. Not sure an organization like the Bengals deserves a fan as dedicated as your dad lol.

  5. I don’t know if I’ve ever seen someone have a pair of autographed football pants. Mad props to him on the collection.

  8. does he know that he lives in a museum?

    he should add a pin to google maps, charge $2 for admission by appointment; includes a selfie with the curator.

  11. Daaaayum…

    That is organized and impressive. You could’ve titled this post, “The Bengals memorabilia store my dad owns in a local strip mall,” and no one would’ve second guessed it. Dude’s running a hobby shop in his basement.

  14. Might be the best collection of anything that I’ve ever seen. Looks like a gift shop lol.

  29. Thats amazing. Its like walking into a little antique shop of just Bengals memorabilia. I wish I had the space, time and money to fix up my own collection of Bears stuff like that. I wonder how much money he could get out of all that!

  30. Have you written to the bengals themselves and provided a few pics for them. I’d be highlighting this with the bengals. Cause I’m sure they would love to promote a super fan. Who knows what could be thrown his way.

  33. It looks like it perfectly fits the space – is there even more that he had to leave in storage? Or is this like the culmination of him gradually filling it in?

  34. Whenever they announce “Fan of The Year,” I always feel like they need to make sure to look at people like this.

    There is no world which I don’t nominate your dad as Fan of The Year nominee.

  37. I would legit pay money to walk around in there and look at everything. Your dad should be very proud of his collection, it looks amazing ❤️ Great work and Who Dey!

  39. There is a 100% chance your dad cares more for the success of the Bengals than Duke or the owners do

  40. That is incredible!!! I dare you to hide one piece of Steeler / Raven merchandise in there somewhere 😂

  41. If you don’t mind me asking, ballpark, how much have you spent on this majestic collection?

  47. i know it’s unrelated, but my dad has a similarly sized budweiser memorabilia collection (plus 1000+ steins) and i just hope you know how seen i feel by this.

    some dads just DO have insane collections inside a regular house and some kids just grow up in them!!

  48. Seeing this makes me angry because you’re telling me they’ve been disappointing your dad this whole time???

    CTB walks on the field and serves up dogshit football to the man with this in his house?????

    Guys I think we’re obligated to beat up Duke Tobin for OP’s dad???????

  49. I would bet he has a better collection of Bengals memorabilia than the Bengals themselves do. Absolutely beautiful thank you for sharing!
