Did I ever hit you back on this? Shoot me a PM if not, and I can share more.

Resurrecting my for sale thread.

Prices dropped again to raise $$ for another purchase. Make like Miss Chleo and CALL ME NOW!

It's hard to show from a video caption, but when it's in motion, you can see where the Hurricanes flags along the bottom match up. No two Hurricanes jerseys are exactly alike in where they match up there. I also just found a hockey card with a photo of him from the game that matches to that stick mark on the front you mentioned.

Thanks, everyone!

Picked up probably THE most meaningful jersey in my Carolina Hurricanes collection. This jersey is a 97-98 red set 1 worn by Canes legend Glen Wesley. It's meaningful for a few reasons: 1.) It was worn in the first game in franchise history (and first preseason game too); 2.) It was on the ice for the first face off; 3.) It was on the ice for the first goal (videomatched to celebration with Kevin Dineen); and 4.) It's the only 97-98 red set 1 from a player who played in that first game that I've ever seen in over 15 years collecting. Jersey has great wear with stick marks, board burns, unrepaired holes and a huge, long repair along the seam where the left sleeve is connected. Came with a LOA directly from the player and has multiple photo and video matches. Going to have to keep pinching myself on this one for a while.

Hey, players customize their jerseys all the time. You could always take it to a seamstress and have the sleeve length reduced. That'd be cool to have it customized just for you. And love the jersey - nice pickup!

Thanks! Pretty surreal to look up at it hanging in my office.

Just added Cam Ward's 2014-15 game-worn alternate jersey to the collection. It's photomatched to the celebration of his 500th career NHL game, among other games.

More price reductions...

2012-13 game-worn Jeff Skinner Carolina Hurricanes alternate

Hate to air dirty laundry, but I paid slricks (unPLEASED Anton on the Hockey's Future boards) for 6 jerseys on Nov. 22, and he never sent anything and will not answer emails, phone calls or text messages. They were the following: - Jeff Skinner authentic white Reebok Edge w/ all-star patch - Jussi Jokinen authentic red Reebok Edge - Rod Brind'Amour authentic white RBK 6100 - Glen Wesley authentic white CCM - Matt Cullen replica black alternate Reebok Edge - Erik Cole replica red Reebok Edge Hate to air dirty laundry, but I'm just trying to get my money back or the jerseys. Mods, if this isn't allowed, please delete. If anyone knows him and could bring him to his senses, that'd be great... It's a shame because we had previously conducted a perfectly seamless deal.

Thanks, guys!

Latest addition: 99-00 Carolina Hurricanes Ron Francis with Raleigh Arena, NHL 2000 and rare team-issued Chiasson memorial patches. Nameplate font is a bit too bold, and captain's C isn't exactly right so going to get those redone.

Thanks! Bought it directly from the team as part of a charity auction.

2014-15 Cam Ward set 1 with multiple photo matches worn by the franchise's only Conn Smythe winner.

Exactly. Perfectly put.

Glad to have added this cool team-issued Carolina Hurricanes jersey. Think I'm going to have Justin Faulk put on it.

That's a good catch. They're individually embroidered so I guess not really a patch. It looks like it was a really painstaking process to add. Here's a close-up:

Just added this grail to my collection. One-of-a-kind game-worn Eric Staal captain's jersey from Rod Brind'Amour night. This was worn for the full game and actually shows wear. Pretty cool to be the captain's jersey from the night that recognized the player from whom he inherited the C. Still pinching myself on this one.

Did you see this one? http://www.ebay.com/ulk/itm/331628363156

Hilarious thread but thanks for the factual respons.

I think many of us have been there. To me, there's no rule for how long is acceptable to hold onto a jersey. There are some in my collection I've had for more than 15 years and others I've had for only a few fleeting weeks - or even days. And it's all for various reasons - whether there's something you'd rather have or sometimes you get a jersey that isn't quite what you thought you wanted, and it's got to go. Moving jerseys around - especially through trades - is something I find enjoyable about this hobby. Not only does it keep the collection fresh, but it's also a great way to get to know fellow collectors and help to grow each other's collections. Sometimes I complete a trade for a cool jersey I'd rather have, knowing I may be able to trade that jersey for something I'd like to have even more down the road. The Raycroft is a good example - good player I enjoyed watching when he was in the NHL but not a perfect fit for my Tampa Bay/Carolina collection so something I may trade forward down the road. Bottom line: Do whatever makes you happy, whether that's keeping a jersey for a few weeks or many years.

Excited to have added this game-worn Andrew Raycroft Providence Bruins jersey. Thanks again to Dr_Puck for a great trading transaction.

Great working a trade with Dr_Puck. Definitely one of the many good guys on this forum.
