You can't buy memories like this for anything.

SUPERBOWL YEAR 2010

Sean Payton signed and then threw in to the crowd of hundreds of people a VERY RARE LIT UP MULTI COLOR LED POWERED FULL SIZE FREEBEE during the 2010 Orpheus Parade. (The night before Mardi Gras.)

It shined and incredibly lit up the sky as it flew across everyone's head for a few seconds in the crowd that night. Everybody no doubt noticed and wanted it.

How I caught the thing in that huge crowd was a blessing from GOD. I estimate that the chances of me catching it was about 1 in 200+ because Payton could have thrown it to ether side of the float (left or right) and in any direction (front, middle, back).

I remember as it floated right across and lighting up the beautiful sky and then right into my hands as I beat the crap out of all the other people fighting me to catch it.

After I completely gloated and laughed at everybody who had just suffered such a great loss, I looked at the signature. Everyone wanted to see the signature but oddly... no one couldn't read it. It looked just like scribble scratch because... it was scribble scratch. SOB... He must have signed and thrown hundreds and we were at the end of the parade around Canal St and Magazine St. He had do doubt been drinking and he didn't care what it looked like.

I will always have both... the Memories and the Freebee. It still works, but the signature didn't get any better. :rolleyes: I doubt it is worth anything since you cannot tell who signed it.

No doubt a family heirloom. :o

His actual known phone, or one of the same model? It would require provenance.

The one he pulled out on the field after scoring that touchdown.

Do you have documentation that can verify it is the actual phone? Provenance? Not personally doubting you, but it is always required for something like this if you wish to sell it. If so that would be awesome.

Sure. He donated it to a charity auction and I bought it. I've talked with him about it and even met him many times, including one where we took a picture with the phone. Heck, ESPN flew down and interviewed me about it.

Coach Haslett's number was in the phone when I charged it up.

This is one I'm not selling though. I'll have to post a picture with him.

Lots of fun with it - I've taken it on Saints road trips and taken pictures with it. I meant to donate it when he got put in the Saints Hall of Fame but I missed the luncheon so I did not get to do it.

He is by far the nicest person I have ever met associated with the Saints.
