I used to collect jerseys, the ones you could buy at Jersey City, etc. But once I bought my used Yelle stick, I've bought maybe 2 jerseys... I want game used, or atleast autographed anything and everything.
I have since bought game used pants, socks, and skates (there's a mini Hale-Storm everytime I step on the ice) from the Flame's equipment sale, and half a dozen-ish sticks off CM Punk (not sure what he has left).
I would love to be able to afford to get into game used jerseys, but I have to start small for now, and work my way up.
Plus, if it's a specific jersey, say the Tavares jersey you've mentioned, that's well worth the $8500 to me. If you can show people that it's that jersey he wore, that'd be awesome.
