furiousd Posted January 3, 2017 Report Share Posted January 3, 2017 I love the total non-sequitur responses to what people are looking for. "Looking for Blackhawks, size 48." "Got a Islanders Premier XXL. lmk" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsh139 Posted January 3, 2017 Report Share Posted January 3, 2017 God, the recent "Team Issued" vs "Game Worn" vs "Game Issued" vs "Authentic" thread on there was absolutely ridiculous. So much misinformation being thrown out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So much misinformation being thrown out there. I wish "Game Issued" moniker would go away. It confuses the hell out of newer collectors who think it means Game Worn as it is issued to the player. I think a better word would be "Prepared for Use." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you'd have to abbreviate it as a "P.U." Jersey, which would confuse it with unwashed, salty gamers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If these things just happened once in a while, I don't think any of us would really have major issues with it at all. However, a lot of what we have put in here are examples and instances that seem to keep repeating over and over again. Eventually it just drives you nuts but you can never seem to leave completely as you are always worried if a jersey you wants happens to pop up on there.

thebiggoalie Posted January 3, 2017 Report Share Posted January 3, 2017 I don't want the masses from there flocking to this forum, but it's going to be hysterical when they start trickling in more and realize this thread is all about them.

I'd have to sign up for Facebook first, which I am opposed to. I rely on a few of our kind board members to hook me up with sellers who have stuff they know I want and I deal with it that way.

As bothersome as some behavior is, I still do get access to quality (collection-relevant) jerseys.

Just turned my Twitter back on a few days ago, not sure it's staying that way. Facebook has stayed off aside from an hour here or there to turn on, get in touch with someone, and turn it back off. Really don't miss it, or those groups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet you miss seeing those same 30-50 jerseys over and over again every day of your life. Must kill you to not know how amazing they are and you might miss out when they are reduced in price by $5 for a few days only. Your hands must be shaking.

I also miss seeing status updates from people I haven't spoken to since high school because I unfollowed all of my actual friends on my news feed because as much as I love them I also hate them and they drive me insane.

Devilsguy Posted January 4, 2017 Report Share Posted January 4, 2017 I posted the TSN article about the NHL winning a judgement to shut down a lot of the websites selling knockoffs in one of the Devils fan groups (not jersey specific). I also mentioned how I think knockoffs just look lousy in general. Response I got? "Why are you being so petty? It is just jerseys." Flash forward to yesterday and today and 2 separate threads were started by two individuals in the same group and they were getting all bent out of shape because Dunkin Donuts is selling NY Rangers themed donuts in the NY Metro area including NJ. That's right, when I talk about knockoffs I get told to STFU, mind my own business and to stop being petty. However they are getting bent out of shape over the color of donut icing. That's our fanbase in a nutshell. Also "Mail Day!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, there are a few of these gems you guys are talking about I haven't seen yet. Mostly on the game worn group? Or the authentic one?
