jsh139 Posted November 15, 2018 Report Share Posted November 15, 2018 Meigray usually has a couple 52s and 54s available for their teams but they get bought very quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Dr_Puck Posted January 30, 2019 Report Share Posted January 30, 2019 Compared to some of you old timers I have not been collecting long (replicas since 2009, gamers since 2013). However, I have come to understand one indelible rule of the market: When you NEED something to sell, it won't. I've been watching the usual places-- Facebook, eBay and here-- and have realized recently that the market is too variable for budget purposes. Most of us will always spend more than we sell simply because it's too hard to predict the market. Collectors who you think will want to buy something suddenly fall off the face of the earth. Jerseys you have photomatched and think should easily move, don't. Market prices in general are down. And yet we keep buying! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devilsguy Posted January 30, 2019 Report Share Posted January 30, 2019 I've mentioned this a few times before in the past couple of years but I will keep saying it; the mid-range stuff is the market that is getting destroyed and/or is the hardest market to gauge. The cheap stuff are still largely cheap while the expensive stuff are still largely expensive. That $500-1500 gamer range is just tricky. As for selling when you need to sell, I find it more a game of chance. There have been times where I need to sell something that I think will be an easy sell and I get crickets while there are times where I think I will have to work and be patient and the item sells pretty quickly. It really is a crapshoot but still annoying either way. Also, anything pre-2000 is what I find to hold value better as well. However I think that sort of thing has always been around.

Guest Dr_Puck Posted January 30, 2019 Report Share Posted January 30, 2019 Good points, Devilsguy. I've sold a few jerseys after a looooooooong time of being off budget and it's hit me. We play a game with our funds. I can't all of a sudden move $500 worth of jerseys to buy that rare college gamer I don't have money initially for, even though originally that was my approach. I suspect I am not the only one who has performed budget juggling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem is more and more I'm cutting down on stuff I don't care about and now being forced to sell stuff I do care about. That's the tough part.

I'm at the point where I won't even think about something unless I can realistically envision keeping it for several years. Hoping I am forever past the impulse buying stage of this hobby.

Guest Dr_Puck Posted February 2, 2019 Report Share Posted February 2, 2019 Looking for perspective here. Which teams' gamers have the worst secondary market value? From what I've seen--- and sold--- Ottawa's and the Minnesota's gamers just don't generate much value when I try to move them. Both the Senators and Wild have dumped a lot of reasonably priced jerseys into the market in recent years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYIJM29 Posted February 3, 2019 Report Share Posted February 3, 2019 (edited) I think the shorter response to the question would be which teams jerseys hold value. Edited February 3, 2019 by NYIJM29 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know a lot of modern Devils jerseys don't with only a few exceptions. I think some of the teams where it is simply hard to acquire gamers (think Carolina) are probably in the best shape in that regards. Basically pre-Edge is what holds value from what I've seen. It depends on team to team, but if you got 90's and earlier those tend to hold better than anything in the last ten years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder what happens though if Carolina or Tampa ever open their vaults like Minnesota did. Suddenly, fringe players will be worth nothing at all.

Also I forgot to mention teams like Calgary who seem to price their jerseys pretty fairly from the get-go seem to hold value alright too. Then again I'm looking at this from afar so don't quote me on it lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No telling for sure, but if there isn't a flood of MIC Adidas, maybe all the Edge 2.0s out there will have more value/hold value say 10 years down the road...
