Fairmore Sports is comprised of 3 hockey fanatics, Brad Moore, Mike Nerl,
Dave Fairfull, who have a love and passion for collecting and "old time"
hockey. We are dedicated to finding and offering the memorabilia hobby
the finest in game worn jerseys, equipment, and memorabilia. We also do
authentication and insurance appraisals.
Brad began playing hockey at age 5 and at age 7 started collecting cards
and pucks, he began collecting game worn jerseys in 1974. In the early
to mid 80's Brad had tryouts with the CFL, NFL, and USFL as placekicker
until a hamstring injury ended his kicking days. In the late 80's to early
90's Brad helped acquire over 40 jerseys and pieces of memorabilia for
the Hockey Hall of Fame.
Mike joined the Fairmore team in 1987 while hunting for St.Louis Blues
memorabilia. Mike is a former defenseman who's all-time favorite player
is former Blues great Barclay Plager and he has done extensive research
into hockey in the St. Louis area dating back to the 1920's. He amassed
a large collection of game worn jerseys and memorabilia relating to St.
Louis hockey teams such as the Blues, Hawks, Eagles, and Flyers for a
museum which was originally planned for the Kiel Center but was later
shelved by the team owners. Mike continues to collect St. Louis hockey
related memorabilia.
Dave is a noted hockey historian who is in the process of compiling
a complete all-time statistical history of every NHL player and team.
Dave has played hockey for over 50 years at both the amateur and professional
level and continues to strap on the blades and keep everyone in the dressing
room "loose" with his hockey stories and trivia.
