It arrived today v. 8.0


Brilliant!

Recommended Posts

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.

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.

I would have to disagree, given that he is not only still on the team, but was the captain last year. 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.

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.

Pretty excited to land one of these vintage series Rangers jerseys. Size 52.

Those Vintage Rangers jerseys are great. I have one of each, and I love them. They always get compliments at games.

Sometimes I think you just like to argue, my friend. :)

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.

But buying feels so gooooood... 

You Devils guys complain about the lack of variety in their unis, but both the red/green and the red/black color schemes are pretty dang solid.  You sure could do a whole lot worse.

Its totally true. 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.

I've gotten Andy Greene gamers for $300 (and less).  That's why I think the price for the GI is a little much and not trying to argue.

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.

Yeah, you gotta be careful what you wish for.  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.

I agree, enough is enough. First Blackhawks WC was awesome, 2nd was OK, both SS jerseys were horrible.

They needed a reason to get rid of me.  Worked out to my favor.

Whatever it takes, my man. As long as they didn't slip a restraining order in the folder with the LOA, you're all good.

That's how we do in the NY/NJ area...

 

EDIT: on a side note, I expanded my want list and looking at it on the page, is my signature annoyingly large now?

It's not the signature that's annoying... 

;) Doesn't bother me any on my PC, and sigs don't display on my phone.

I already know I'm annoying in general...
