    2017-18 Jakub Voracek, home set 1.

    If my calculations are correct, it was worn in 17 regular season and 3 preseason games. Jake scored 4 goals and 20!! assists in this jersey. It's got some nice marks and burns on it and the twill is pretty beat up. Super excited to get this one!

     

    20 games of use and no repairs?

    I know repairs aren't the be all end all of game use, but wow!

    Funny how I remember seeing plenty of collectors complain about Meigray's prices on Kings jerseys when they had them.  Now they are all wishing the Kings go back once they saw how much the Kings wanted since they started marketing the jerseys themselves.

    Meigray's prices are still too high on Kings jerseys.   Jerseys they sell for 1500  have a hard time getting half that on the secondary market. No modern jersey should be more than 1000 in my opinion. 

    The Kings prices on their jerseys are ridiculous. However, it does not make me wish for Meigray's prices. I would much prefer the pricing to go back to the pre stanley cup winning prices. That is wishful thinking though . 

    I do long for Meigray's customer service and transparency. That is second to none.

    I’ve only sent them one package since I usually go in person but I remember seeing a message similar to this via usps. Wouldn’t worry about it.

    Thanks for the info.

     

  4. I sent a jersey to Bobcat via USPS priority mail.

    The tracking shows the package as "delivered to neighbor as requested". 

    Has anyone else ever gotten this message and was there a problem with the delivery?

    I never requested that the package be left with a neighbor as Bobcat is a business and I figured someone is there to receive the mail.

  5. Just when I had sold off the last of my retail authentic jerseys I go ahead and buy another. This one you don't see everyday though and I couldn't pass it up.

    Los Angeles Kings 1996 - 1997 30th anniversary jersey.  Big thanks to Andrew for the heads up, Mike for allowing me to waffle and Chris for the deal.

    Buying a jersey at the shop and having it customized to match a players jersey is clearly a reproduction of a team issued item  

     

    You can purchase an authentic retail hockey jersey just the same as the teams do. Then you can have that jersey lettered by the same customizer who lettered the teams jerseys. The only difference between your new jersey and a game issued jersey is your jersey was never in the possession of the team.  This is the goal of most of the collectors here.

    You have an authentic jersey not a replica.

    If you want to get technical, wouldn't a backup jersey that a player wears because blood got on his "original" jersey be a replica? Wouldn't every jersey made after the "master" jersey was designed be a replica? I know I am being a bit of a jerk here, but using the dictionary to define hobby classifications is a bad idea.

  7. Ooooh, the very rare practically-centered Maska logo! A button fight strap though? That seems odd to me. I thought they were usually ribbons during the Maska tenure.

    Ribbon fight straps were used on the mesh versions in the first part of the season.

    When they switched to knit they went with the reinforced button style fight strap.

  8. I'll let this comment stand alone for all to see as a testament to the kind of person you are. Since you were in diapers when the Sutters played, your opinions don't really mean that much. Half of the jerseys that show up in this thread I couldn't care less about, but I don't point them out. I enjoy seeing others get excited about their acquisitions. It never occurred to me to make uneducated snarky comments about them.

  9. Okay Dokken.

    Wow! a Dokken reference. Wonder how many here actually got that.

    I have seen them many times. From small clubs to big arenas. The last time was at a Six Flags Magic Mountain if you can believe it.

    How low do you have to sink when you start playing at amusement parks.

  10. Not sure I get the fear of wearing gamers out in public.

    Granted I am not wearing my best gamers out, but I almost exclusively wear game worns to games.

    I don't eat during the game I eat before and when I do I take my jersey off...simple.

    Yes, I have had a beer spilled down my back by the drunk behind me. Got home, washed the jersey on delicate cycle and back

    to the way it was before the spillage.

    The only real risk of washing out wear is if the jersey hasn't been washed since the wear(stick mark) was added to the jersey.

    I purchased a game worn and was handed the jersey immediately after the game. The jersey was drenched and there was no way that sweat soaked

    jersey was hanging next to my other jerseys. There was a stick mark on one of the back numbers that faded even though I washed the jersey without detergent.

    Had I not picked up the jersey after the game it would've been washed by the team and the stick mark would've been gone anyways.

    Exercise a little care and enjoy your jerseys...isn't that why you purchased them?

  11. Really nice jerseys, especially the Dustin Brown! It doesn't seem to have much wear on it, which as others have noted is surprising for his style of play.

    Not surprising, fact.

    Be happy you have a repair.
