LouMarcon Posted November 14, 2014 Report Share Posted November 14, 2014 (edited) I'll go by categories, gamer and replica. My prize gamers are both from the American Hockey League, circa mid-1960s. A Providence Reds wool worn by AHL and IHL sniper, Len Ronson; and a durene worn and autographed by the late AHL HOFer Fred Glover of the Cleveland Barons. The two replicas are the white and blue wool sweaters worn by the USA's defenseman John Mayasich at the 1960 Squaw Valley Olympics. I spent over a year working with 3-4 different vendors before we got these two right. Edited November 16, 2014 by LouMarcon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aroomadoomie Posted November 14, 2014 Report Share Posted November 14, 2014 Rarest production jersey? Authentic size 56 Edge 1.0 Blackhawks Winter Classic #2 Keith Overall rarest? Premier prototype all star jersey from the switch to edge Found out the origins when someone sent me a screenshot of a Reebok edge announcement video Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slimcutta Posted November 14, 2014 Report Share Posted November 14, 2014 My most rare jersey would have to be my 2005-06 Anaheim Mighty Ducks Corey Perry 3rd Rookie Game-Used Jersey.Not only is it rare and imo the nicest/classiest Ducks jersey to date, it's a freakin Perry rc...ummmm, ya...sit on that for 10 years or so and just watch it appreciate in value. Nice stuff all around, gentlemen. Good thread. More pictures, please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJ Matthews Posted November 14, 2014 Report Share Posted November 14, 2014 I guess when your team doesn't play in a Stanley Cup for 20 years, even a SCF losing jersey is still rare. As for non gamer, I would say it's a toss up between TBTC... And 1996 WCOH USA... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SensGameUsed Posted November 15, 2014 Report Share Posted November 15, 2014 (edited) Two of my rarest: Senators first year black with original 1992-93 nameplate. These jerseys were recycled for the 1993-94 preseason and many jerseys either had nameplates swapped or removed. Marian Hossa black rookie jersey. He would have only worn 2 or 3 jerseys in this style. Edited November 15, 2014 by SensGameUsed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HockeyMusic Posted November 16, 2014 Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 are those Lindros Gamers? No, mfitz's Lindros was a "game worn" jersey but no proof or matches to speak of. Thus I pounced when it became available and turned it into a Lindros. Slim's Lindros is a team issue jersey which I also had done up as Lindros. Kits are to spec with twill nameplates like the on-ice version. I have a Lindros white gamer (in my sig) with a team LOA but no photomatch to speak of.

TheKevinShow Posted November 16, 2014 Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 (edited) None of my jerseys are particularly rare since I own one Indo-Edge and a bunch of 90s replicas, but strictly by the definition, I'd say my Thrashers 99-00 white jersey and my Rangers white Lady Liberty are both technically rare since they were only worn for one season each. The Pens early 2000s alt is rare-ish as well since the Koho version was only worn for two seasons.

HockeyMusic Posted November 16, 2014 Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 (edited) Mine would probably be a toss up between these two 1978-79 Wayne Gretzky WHA Oilers - First pro season jersey Gretzky did not wear #99 for his first game with the Oilers after having purchased Wayne from the Indianapolis Racers. The Oilers gave him #20 to wear for his first game against the Jets, making this jersey the first jersey he wore with the Oilers as #99 84-85 Penguins road authentic - Lemieux's rookie season (Thanks to blurryhaze for this) Edited November 16, 2014 by HockeyMusic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyhighguys94 Posted November 16, 2014 Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 Rarest for me (and a personal grail) is a 1987-1988 Flyers ultrafil. After 4 years of actively searching a size 52 popped up on eBay. It was horribly customized as Hextall. I'd post pictures but it's currently getting stripped, and I have an accurate Hextall kit and matching ultrafil nameplate (thanks Slimcutta!) ready to be sent to Mike tomorrow. There will be multiple pictures in every thread possible upon its return Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyhighguys94 Posted November 16, 2014 Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 Nice! Home or road? Thanks! You have no idea how relieved I am to have found it, feels great. Its the orange (away?). They wore the dark colors on the road back then right? It's 2 years older than I am haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiscoStu Posted November 16, 2014 Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 The rarest jersey I have is a game worn Cody Payne #64 Saginaw Spirit jersey from the first ever OHL outdoor game in Detroit at Comerica Park nearly a year ago. The jersey was only worn in that one game. Specifically, the jersey in this clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CC8jhB_CBsg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HockeyMusic Posted November 17, 2014 Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 (edited) Is the nameplate on your white gamer twill also? Just figured I ask in case I ever find a white one and need to get it done up. Yes, that is why I made yours (and Slim's) with a red twill nameplate. I miss those two jerseys.....I hope you both enjoy them... Edited November 17, 2014 by slimcutta Absolutely. Thank you :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I miss those two jerseys.....I hope you both enjoy them... thought about selling it for ever so brief a minute, but I knew I'd never see one again if I did. As I told you when I bought it, I had been looking for one over 20 years, albeit not aggressively. I appreciate the effort you put into it for sure.

Yeah, I am glad I didn't get rid of the gamer I have........I won't see that shirt again so I am glad the wife convinced me to keep it. I have received multiple offers for it from people over on gameworn.net. You don't understand how long I waited until I was able to find them......luckily I came across a few of them..... If you come across a white one......twill plates are the way to go! Other Generals gamers I have seen have had the same..... I modeled the two red ones I had against the gamer....including measurements of back/sleeve numbers and the nameplate length and lettering...

aaron.holick Posted November 17, 2014 Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 I don't have much that's out of the ordinary but I'd say my Wildwing and Burger King replicas are my rarest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawksFanInDC Posted November 26, 2014 Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 For me, I have numerous game worns, retail authentics, across multiple sports, and team issued bowl jerseys for UM that I consider very rare. For hockey I would say my rarest are these game worns.

Adam Posted November 26, 2014 Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 (edited) My rarest one by far is my authentic 95-96 CCM Pens alternate. Got it for a hell of a deal compared to what I've seen used ones go for, I got it with the tags still on it. A grail for sure. Some of the stuff in this thread is way out of any league I'll ever be in. Truly incredible shirts. Edited November 26, 2014 by Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
