mfitz804 Posted July 6, 2016 Report Share Posted July 6, 2016 I'm kind of surprised they aren't selling faster. Any of them that are sub-$300 should be gone, particularly three Andy Greenes for $295 a piece? That's a bargain. Zach Parise for $295? Maybe a Devils fan wouldn't go that way but I'm surprised those are still around too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devilsguy Posted July 6, 2016 Report Share Posted July 6, 2016 I honestly think that Greene's at $295 is a little high. They should be $250 at most. I guess it is because he is still on the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think anyone interested in them would buy at $250 and not at $295. $45 in the scheme of things is nothing, especially where your only other option is to pay $325 from Jersey Baron and $95 for customizing and shipping both ways to EPS. And waiting 4 months. Of course, all of this is mitigated by the fact that they are only Game Issued, and I still fail to see how they have any added value over an EPS customized authentic.

I never valu GI's over customized authentics. To me they are the same thing. That's why I really don't collect them unless the prices as good. GI's in the 2016 Devils retro auction started at over $300. In the grand scheme of things the $295 price is good for the Greene, but comparing it to the others it is a little out of whack when Rolston was I believe $195, and Parise (who was also captain) was also $295. I would put Greene on the same level as Zajac and he was $250. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawks2797 Posted July 6, 2016 Report Share Posted July 6, 2016 Man those Devils Retros sure are nice! I might have to pick up one myself. Niedermayer, Martin, or Zubrus? For the steal of price hard not to resist picking up all 3! Choices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I agree, I usually don't collect GIs at all, my Colin White Retro is currently the only one I own, with the exception of a couple I have stripped because it was cheaper than the JB price. 3 minutes ago, furiousd said: Buy a Zubrus.

Honestly I'm probably better off, because the more styles they had, the more I'd have to buy. But I would still like a kick Arse 3rd jersey.

Agreed about the Devils uniforms. I think they are pretty snazzy and the retro colors look really nice on the Edge template. It's one of the few things I think Lou did right for all of his years in NJ where he resisted adding a 3rd jersey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as I like the Blackhawks uniforms, it bugs me a little that they switched 3rds a few years back, then only wore the WC design a couple seasons. I don't remember why they killed the 3rds but I'd have a hard time believing they weren't managing via the merch sales. And on the one-offs, they need a break. I wonder what the fact that places like IJ blew out their stock of SS jerseys 5 months later will mean for orders for this year's WC.
