The largest collection of Buffalo Bills memorabilia is now at the Buffalo History Museum, following the donation of Greg Tranter's personal collection.
It's around 106,000 individual items with provenance for each, from a Bills snowblower to programs for every game since this Bills team started in 1960. Among the donated items shown yesterday is the helmet worn by Scott Norwood in Super Bowl XXV.
"It's the epitome of the city," Tranter said.
"What city in America would go Downtown the day after the Super Bowl and honor the team with 30,000 people in a devastating loss? You wouldn't see that in Boston, for crying out loud."
Tranter would know, as a resident of a suburb of Worcester, Massachusetts.
Museum Executive Director Melissa Brown says every item will receive the latest in technology to preserve it for the long haul and there likely will be a rotating display in the main building and potentially in the archives building.
