I’m just glad it’s not because of some sort of financial issues.
According to ESPN.com, former Steelers great Rod Woodson is selling off his own valuable memorabilia collection — just cause.
The collection being auctioned by California-based SCP Auctions has more than 70 items from his Hall of Fame career, including his Hall of Fame ring, two AFC Championship rings, his Super Bowl XXXVII game-used Raiders jersey, his game-worn Purdue jersey from the 1984 Peach Bowl and four Pro Bowl uniforms.
“I’m not a very vain type of person,” Woodson said Monday as he was heading to his new job as assistant defensive backs coach for the Raiders. “I don’t need to see what I accomplished. I have a beautiful wife and kids, and they’re more important to me than anything I had in the sporting world.”
Woodson said that once he moved from Pittsburgh to California, the downsize left a lot of his stuffing just sitting around in boxes or storage.
“I’d actually rather have items from my kids’ life sitting in my office than anything of mine,” said Woodson, a father of three girls and two boys, the youngest a freshman in high school. “When the last of my kids gets out of the house, we’re probably going to downsize again.”
