    eBay version 3.0

    That makes a hell of a lot more sense.

    You think it was a pens gamer that was recustomized as Crosby? That does look like Dana Heinze's signature in the fight strap.
  3. I know this is old, but I'm 99% sure its fake. Those swooshes do not look right at ALL. They look like the old Griffenfood or Griffen whatever fakes but on a replica. Also NEVER buy anything from guess_who_27. She is a notorious scammer in the game worn community. I don't know if people here have dealt wit her. My advice? Don't.
  4. Yeah I wear my dark jerseys to games and don't eat in them. Or I eat carefully. I don't like wearing white jerseys that much so I don't wear my white gamers.

    I was so confused for a second. Glad to see this place hasn't changed.

    New Arrivals v6.0

    Great rug. Seriously. Just got a Winter Classic blank 2.0 Authentic from Matt on Friday. I've been popping in here slightly so when I get the pics taken they'll be up. I'm not the fastest photographer, so I'll do my best to get it up asap.

    New Arrivals v6.0

    Late to the party on this one but walz nice Granlund. I own a white myself from 10-11. The year they won the title! Just bought a winter classic jersey from Aketon. He was nice enough to sell it to me. When it arrives I'll post that and my Hagelin ECF I keep forgetting to photograph.
  9. Hello all. I'm back! Sort of... I made a deal with aketon on my Rangersboard that I would lurk here if I bought one of his WC Rangers authentics (WHICH HE WAS SUPER NICE TO SELL TO ME AND I AM IN GREAT DEBT TO HIM). I needed a break from the hobby, and am sort of back. I have a nice new Playoffs GW Rangers Hagelin to post, but I haven't taken pictures of it yet ( I Know I suck). But I'll be a round. They'll show up probably tomorrow. Glad to see a lot of familiar faces and some new ones.
  10. Hello everybody, I've recently started to evaluate my position on this forum after my little outburst with aketon in the helmet decal thread. Since joining the Ice Jerseys community two years ago (I still can't believe its been that long), I have gone from not having a clue about this hobby, to being an avid game worn collector. Some of the people I met on this board I truly call friends, and I respect the opinions and debates that come out of this board. I've grown to realize that this hobby acts in cycles, and at this point in my life priorities are starting to take a hold. I feel that I can't contribute to many discussions on this thread because there is such a flood of knowledgeable people on this board (which is an amazing thing), and that I no longer have the passion to debate the intricacies about this hobby. I don't know why the latter has formed, but I just seem to feel that these things need to be accepted and that everything does not suck in the NHL. Maybe its boredom, maybe its just I don't care as much as I used too, all I know is I feel I am not contributing anything valuable to this board on a regular basis and because of that I need to step back for a while. Hopefully some time away from the hobby (which does not count the 1982 Maine Mariners gamer I am about to purchase) will do me good financially and in the sense that I can get excited about the details that I once loved. I've become jaded, and its not fair to the people on this board to have to read that. I will probably post every once in a while in the It Arrived Today thread if I can afford anything, and will always be available via PM if anyone wants to chat! This was extremely hard for me to write and I just hope this board keeps on being as awesome as it has been. Thanks again for the memories, hopefully I will be back just like Jay-Z. xcdude
  11. What I ended up doing was making a strawman argument myself in response to it. You need to read Rangerland more to get the humor, you have no excuse :tongue: But seriously, Who cares about the placement of numbers on the helmet? Does it really matter that much?
  12. Pretty crazy ending. I don't think I've seen anything like that since the Mets 10 run comeback against the Braves in 2000, or Piazza's Walk off after 9/11. I still get tears in my eyes from the latter.
  13. The NHL has a large problem with Concussions and the safety of its players, but its fans are too busy making strawman arguments about the placement of numbers of helmets. God, I've been in a bad mood the past two weeks I'm sorry, but this really is no big deal. Its just change, you probably wouldn't have noticed for a few games had no one pointed it out.
  14. Simple solution, don't buy it, get on with your day, and let the people that don't care as much as you do (they are out there) buy them.
  15. I think a lot of people are taking what I said and twisting around to fit their arguments. I never said do not be upset if they gt an order wrong and immediately shake them off and badmouth them. I said that mistakes are going to happen sometimes, and waiting more than 2 months for a single order with a company the size of EPS is probably going to happen. I've had my problems with Josh before, but every time I stressed that he could take his time and I understood there were other orders that had priorities with me. I'm just stressing patience. More often than not you are going to get the customization you order. I just think there's a bit of a sense of entitlement going around this board in regards to jersey collecting, and sometimes people need to step back and remember this is a hobby to have fun with. And that these companies don't need our orders to survive and sometimes we are at their mercy and need to b patient.
  16. That's not what I said at all. I said be patient with them, and don't start talking about you are never going back to them because they messed up an order slightly and take a while to respond. Obviously there is a difference between being disrespected and understanding a companies needs is what I am saying.
  17. Mini rant here and by all means tell me to go ###### myself if you want, but honestly I can't take this anymore: Guys, I understand you are all sticklers for "correct" customizations, but honestly most people here need to take a chill pill. I understand a lot of money is being thrown around (I am in college and work a job off campus to support my hobby sometimes), but you have to realize that you are the tiniest little blip on a giant see of teams getting their jerseys done up by EPS. This isn't a let's cut a kit or multiple kits in a day thing for these teams and ship 'em out. This is a long process of cutting twill with complex machinery to specific fonts, then sewing them on correctly, and making sure they are being used to specific specs approved by their respective leagues and so on and so forth. Your jersey that means a lot to YOU probably means very little revenue to the company, and they are doing a service to YOU by even customizing it. They deal with thousands of orders every day and things happen. As stated in many, many emails EPS does mention how they take priority to pro teams with large orders. The criticisms are valid, I agree that it sucks to have a jersey messed up its happened to me!, but sometimes I feel that people on this board don't remember their place as small time consumers who are just small minnows in a seat of hammerhead sharks and complain when they don't get preferential treatment. To be honest no customization will ever be perfect as there are so many imperfections with the jerseys that hit the ice for the NHL, so obviously striving for as close to possible is what an enthusiast strives for. All I am saying is just remember next time it takes 2 months to get a jersey back that you're jersey is being stored behind multiple NHL, AHL, ECHL, NFL, and other leagues that have home, away, and sometimes third jerseys to get done for a deadline. Multiple sets of 3 jerseys is going to take a lot of time, and these companies are under deadlines to get them done, so obviously they take priority. And, EPS is also taking orders from other customers at the same time, so thousands upon thousands of jerseys need to be done to precise specs that people are demanding. Mistakes happen. Just email them back, and be patient, and they will do their best to fix it. Screaming and yelling and complaining may make you feel better, but it will probably just anger the guys at EPS who have frankly more important work to do, and cause more delays. That's just my take. Also, if you don't expect rush treatment usually the time doesn't seem that outrageous.
  18. You realize its a white variation of their 1946 jerseys right? Please say yes and save yourself?
  19. I don't know, but I own one of their U16 jerseys. Its pretty awesome.

    The guy is a retailer and sells legit jerseys. He's one of the few that had legit Canucks 40th anny jerseys last year.

    DEALS AND STEALS

    I had an auction up and was the leading bidder even had the window open, but I was watching a baseball game. I look away for two minutes to watch a batter, forget to increase my bid and lose in the last second. HAD THE WINDOW OPEN! Even had like 10 hockey cards photomatching that gamer...
  23. I don't mind it. Then again I don't really care about the minutest of details, because frankly the color of a reebok wordmark isn't going to deter me from trying to purchase a game worn. Also, just as long as the Rangers win too. That's really more important to me. Also, for those that care about the minutest details, just don't buy it. Usually a simple solution.

    Reebok changed the numbers since they added the wordmark on the back. At least that's what people have said here.
