FlyersHockey1967 Posted May 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2007 Set your reserve and good luck! That'd be a nice pickup. You could even put a 97 Stanley Cup Finals patch on that baby. Oooooooh yeah baby! JustAnothaVictim, I'm talking about the black outline around the crest. Many jerseys back in the day would (incorrectly) have a black outline around the crest on the jerseys, when there shouldn't be. The biggest perpetrators of this crime are Pro Player, CCM (most of the CCM's), Starter, and Nike. However, you might get lucky and find an authentic from those days without an outline. Okay, the thing here is that I don't actually have an eBay or PayPal account; my older sister does (the Eagles/Flyers fan). The thing is that I have to pay her back if she lets me bid on this thing, and I am just going to hope that no one notices this jersey. Who am I kidding? It's a Hextall, it's an authentic, and it's a Nike. That's just asking for a bidding war. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brilliant! Posted May 11, 2007 Report Share Posted May 11, 2007 Take your time when you bid. Don't do it right away. Wait in the weeds and snipe it if you have to. Bidding on it now only drives up the price more. I'm sure you already know all this but I'm saying it anyway! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember that jersey I lost out on with 2 seconds left? Yeah. I just don't think I can time it THAT well. Generally, when is a good time to bid? Around 30 seconds? I'm just trying not to get too excited on this jersey because if I do and I lose out, I usually end up getting really angry. It's happened before.

Now I know what you mean. They only Flyers jerseys I've seen with a black outline around the crest where CCM replicas. I've never seen Authentic jerseys with that black outline, not even on Starter/Pro Player replicas. only on CCM. I have a Starter replica (the only one in my collection) and there´s no black outline. I also had a PP replica, but no black outline. But imho the black outline aroud the crest looks pretty good on the white jersey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlyersHockey1967 Posted May 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2007 Can anyone tell me if this is true? I've read on another message board that a Nike size 52 (which is the size of that Hextall up there) is the equivalent of an RBK 48. If this is the case, I won't have to worry so much about the jersey being insanely big on me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My 91-92 Bruins TBTC Bourque jersey is size 56 and it fits like a Koho/CCM and Reebok size 52 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brilliant! Posted May 13, 2007 Report Share Posted May 13, 2007 See, now I'm a little confused. I have a Red Wings Nike jersey that's a 44 but it fits me like my Reebok Hurricanes 46 jersey. That seems a little weird to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyersHockey1967 Posted May 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2007 That's weird Brilliant! I wonder why the companies couldn't come up with a standard sizing chart when they made these. Whenever I look for a jersey on eBay, one of my main worries is how it will fit because I can't tell how big it is just based on a picture. I'm considering getting the 97 Cup patch if I get this jersey (man that brings back memories), but I'm not sure: 1. Where to send it to for the patching 2. Whether said place would get it right 3. If it's worth it 4. Where to buy one if I decide to do it. For the last one, I've got three links: http://sportsk.com/stcuppa191.html http://cgi.ebay.com/1997-Stanley-Cup-NHL-H...1QQcmdZViewItem http://cgi.ebay.com/1997-STANLEY-CUP-OFFIC...VQQcmdZViewItem But I can't tell which one looks genuine. The coloring looks different on all of them, and little details like the shape of the NHL shield are different as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyersHockey1967 Posted May 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 Oh boy, 1 hour 44 minutes to go, and already 5 bids, price at 161 dollars. I hate how all of this early bidding and stuff really drives up the price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brilliant! Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 Set the alarm on your cell phone for about 5 minutes before and go do something else. It'll help the time go faster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congratulations!.....but are you sure you should put a stanley cup finals patch on? It was a pretty lousy series, i did not see it, but looking back in the books i can see it´s not a good Flyer moment. Brilliant edit: Language.

Brilliant edit: Language. Sure, it wasn't that great of a series, but it brings back childhood memories, like when I saw a picture of William Penn's statue with the orange Flyers jersey on when I was watching the news.. I got so excited to see the Flyers so close to the Cup. I don't know whether or not I will get it patched, but I am definitely considering it, especially since it would be historically correct with the Nike jersey.
