catofadiferntskn Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 I was expecting the amount quoted would be much higher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBZ Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 I was expecting the amount quoted would be much higher. Same. What a cool sweater. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfitz804 Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 The guy admits he has never seen a jersey from that era. So how the hell can he place a value on it? Some expert! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big A HG Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 (edited) I love those old sweaters like that. Nothing can replace them. I'd say the value is pretty good at that $7000-10,000 mark, but who knows, Blackhawks gamer collectors can be tad out there. Not to thread jack, but since most of you probably don't visit the college forum here, I thought I'd link my new pickup here that you guys may enjoy peeking at if you like old sweaters: http://forums.icejerseys.com/index.php?showtopic=4652&p=156943 Edited February 11, 2015 by Big A HG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griff Posted February 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 Hijack away - I love the vintage jerseys. Here are some photos I snapped at the HHOF about 4 years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MountainKing Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 I was expecting the amount quoted would be much higher. There's not many jerseys from that era that exist today especially in that shape. I agree that if this were to hit an auction house it would go for a lot more than $10k. It's hard to put a value on something that only a few could afford and there's really no examples to compare it too. Something like this has such a small market out there, there's probably less than 10 people in this country that could really afford and be interested in bidding on this thing. It's a really awesome example of a jersey from that era. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a really awesome example of a jersey from that era. I can't imagine that's true. There's a lot of guys with a lot of money that wouldn't blink on something like that. It's a limited market sure, but less than 10 people? Probably not that small. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big A HG Posted February 12, 2015 Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 Yeah, definitely more than 10 people. Chicago is a big place with a lot of big-wigs and collectors aren't excluded to Chicago-only, they encompass the globe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
