TheBZ Posted August 17, 2014 Report Share Posted August 17, 2014 I was gifted a Derek Boogaard Minnesota Wild jersey before he died. I'm not a Wild fan, so it's just sat in my closet. As I'm trying to clear out my collection a bit, I wanted to open it up to the forum and the more experienced members here on what the etiquette for trying to move a jersey like this is. Personally, I'd like to sell it to a Wild fan who will make more use of it than I do, but I want to handle this with respect. Thanks.

dsl135 Posted August 17, 2014 Report Share Posted August 17, 2014 Its fine to sell them. I just wouldn't exploit it being like "Oh, its of a dead guy, so its rare!" like some might do on eBay. But you're clearly not going to do that, so you're not going to be breaking any etiquette. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the feedback. as long as its not game worn I dont see any potential problems.. Cool, that was my thought too. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfitz804 Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 Out of curiosity, why would selling a deceased player's game worn be any different. If a guy dies you have to keep it forever? Return it to his family? What's the etiquette in that situation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's nothing wrong with selling anything of a deceased player... so long as his death is not exploited to inflate the price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomtucker Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 What about players that appear to be deceased, but somehow still remain on the ice ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was trying to find a Robin (i.e. Batman and Robin) T-shirt because my daughter is going to be Batgirl for Halloween and I thought it would be fun. You wouldn't believe how many vultures are selling Robin Williams t-shirts right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes the prices skyrocket and youll see them listed on ebay the day after his death. That could be an issue for some people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
