I don't want to speak for everybody but most people who collect GWGs don't like them signed, the draw is that it's as is/was worn during a game

Really - I wouldn't have thought a signature messes with that a whole lot. I mean, they are washed - it's not like they still have player sweat on them.

Yeah I mean for me personally it's not something that's a big deal, I thought about getting one of mine signed, but I know among the people who are really into it they don't tend to seek autographs, some guys if they are going to get them signed get the inside of the crest signed where you can't see it when displayed.

Man I wish the flames would move away from this online rush system, wasn't that long ago it was way more chill and first come first serve via email. Feel like this has really created an artificial rush of institutional collectors/sellers and markup middle men. I guess from the flames perspective they are selling most of their stuff now when even a few years ago more than half the jerseys just sat for sale half the year. Weird how the demand has gone up so much even as the team has gotten worse
