Back in 2000 Starting Lineup's Classic Double football line was dedicated to Super Bowl Matchups and what better one for me than the matchup that brought us back to back Super Bowl Titles. The Cowboys and Bills faced off in both Super Bowl XXVII and XXVIII and the Cowboys dominated both games. It was the height of America's Team's dominance in the 90's. Led by our triplets Troy Aikman, Emmitt Smith, and Michael Irvin, the Cowboys were virtually unstoppable. This lineup commemorates those Super Bowls by pairing up both starters (Aikman was the Super Bowl MVP of the 1st meeting). The added bonus is the mini replica Lombardi Trophy that is included, very nice touch. This is definitely one of my favorite pieces in my collection as it's a reminder of what the Cowboys once were and what I hope the Cowboys can being again some day.
Cool piece. I've noticed that those Lombardi Trophy replicas go for big $$$ on eBay. There's one right now going for $70... an insane bidding war:

Not sure... if it's just some guys fooling around, but other completed sales still have the trophies selling in the $20 range.
