Game worn Memorbilia Collecting

[nickerjones]

Anyone else ever ventured into this realm of collecting? I know there is a few people on this board i have talked to but anyone else? I have seen some crazy stuff for example... I was just on ebay and they have the world junior jerseys up and Tavares jersey is at 8500 or so with 2 days left..... anyone else seen any crazy stuff?

I just realized i misspelled the title - memorabilia

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.

Well i have a pair of huselius' game worn gloves i got off a guy from here and i got a game used and autogrpahed stick i got from robyn regehr but thats all ... I want to get into jerseys and helmet but they are freakishly expensive sometimes.... Although i do Meigray's does a sell every year where you can buy previous years jerseys for half price and all of them are game used ( they have a couple game issued) if you want to see more jerseys you might check out gameworn.net

I have a Dustin Boyd gamer from when he played in Omaha in 2006-07. Pretty sweet to have and am looking to get one from his rookie season with the flames eventually. Have a lot of Boyd stuff so far. Just about everyone of his hockey cards, the gamer, a personally signed hat, a game used stick and bought an authetic jersey with his name this season. Can get to be expensive, but it is a nice little hobby.

Back in the day.....

I was fortunate enough to nab a Rocket Richard game used jersey card of which only 5 were made. I sold it rather quickly for $2000. I wonder what that might bring now with so many more people wired to the interwebs.

I have a few game used items. I would never spend $8500 for a gamer..

I have a "game used" Buddy Guy guitar pick.

Too lazy to keep it updated, actually all pics were deleted for some reason and it would have been a tonne of work to reload them all. I sold off a bunch of my helmets (other teams) I have certain jerseys that will never be sold and certain pieces that I will also never move. I might set up a webshots site one day.

lemme know if you do and if you start getting an itch to get rid of some flames stuff lmk..... and thanks for the advice on he huselius signed helmet.... you told me not to buy it at 150 and if i can get it for a 100 i should snag it...... the guy emailed me recently saying its still mine for 150 but im guessing he cant get rid of it .... hopefully he starts coming down!!!

Depends what you are looking for, I probably have a few things I would sell.

I have some WHL jerseys, I've had to sell a lot of them to help pay for stuff though.

I am pretty sure I owned that Albers Hitmen at one time

[604flames]

I've seen it in other people's webshots as well.. Sold it to a guy in Prince Albert about 2 months ago.

I sold it a few years back

I've owned somewhere in the neighborhood of 150-200 game worn jerseys in my time, the collection has since been narrowed down to about 40. Larger companies are killing the hobby.
