BlueSky Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 For many years I've wished the NFL would sell historical material. Well, turns out they do. I'm seriously thinking of picking up some early Saints stuff, like their '67 highlight film. You can even get episodes of This Week in Pro Football and so on. Looks awesome if pricey ($50 for a DVD of one item). Anybody ordered from them? If so, what was your experience?http://www.nflfilms.com/specialorders/BTW, on the 'Team Highlights' page it can be a bit confusing, you have to click on the team logo at the top of the page to see the list of available films.

BBTV Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Some of those "team highlights" tapes are only 25 minutes long? I thought that those things were at least an hour. $50 for a 25 minute tape is a little steep.I wish they had an "in store pickup" option to save on the shipping too, considering it's right across the bridge here.

Yeah, it's pricey, but there's nowhere else to get authentic NFL Films material from the 60's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

infrared41 Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 The price is so high because the stuff is special order and it will never do much in mass sales. You can't keep the costs down if you're only selling 20 copies of the 1978 Browns or whatever. In any case, I for one am thrilled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
