Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 I have a Jack GI from last season…got it for much less than a Jack GW, and nice to have a Hughes jersey that’s truly they wear on the nice. Can’t say I’m a huge Cam fan, but not his fault that Lou signed an aging injury-prone player thinking that he wouldn’t miss games and/or decline. Nice grabs.

Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 $975 for Geersten, heh heh...I'm guessing the buyer might have been Geersten. Dawson, wow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 Nabbed a Daneyko Jersey Retirement Night Paul Martin GW…don’t see Dano RNs come available often, so decided to snag it. There’s players that would’ve been more appealing (and this one is autographed, which I could’ve done without), but Martin had a plenty solid career. Thought the Dano and Stevens night jerseys (with their respective numbers on each side of the shoulder yoke) had such a unique and sharp look. Wish they’d done that with others, especially Niedermayer. The rectangular “27” patch was so bland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DevsMan84 Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 Anyone bidding on the Jimmy Hayes warmup jerseys? I don't think I will throw a bid in as warmup worns aren't really up my alley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevsMan84 Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 So the Jimmy Hayes warmup-worn worn jerseys ended last night with little fanfare unfortunately. Five Devils jerseys and nine Blackhawks jerseys ended with zero bids which is over 1/3 of all the jerseys up for auction between the two teams (!). I think this is a combo of the auction taking place 2.5 months after these jerseys were worn and NHL auctions did a disservice for the Blackhawks jerseys by listing them under Devils team category instead of the Blackhawks team category on the website. Below are the players, final price, and number of bids received on that lot. New Jersey Devils Player Price # of Bids Hischier, Nico $ 750.00 0 Hughes, Jack $ 750.00 1 Mercer, Dawson $ 750.00 9 Subban, PK $ 750.00 1 Bratt, Jesper $ 650.00 3 Hamilton, Dougie $ 600.00 5 Bernier, Jonathan $ 500.00 0 Graves, Ryan $ 500.00 1 Jaros, Christian $ 500.00 0 Sharangovich, Yegor $ 500.00 1 Tatar, Tomas $ 500.00 0 Vesey, Jimmy $ 500.00 1 Geertsen, Mason $ 350.00 1 Johnsson, Andreas $ 350.00 1 Kuokkanen, Janne $ 350.00 1 McLeod, Michael $ 350.00 1 Siegenthaler, Jonas $ 350.00 0 Zacha, Pavel $ 350.00 1 Chicago Blackhawks Player Price # of Bids Kane, Patrick $ 800.00 2 Toews, Jonathan $ 750.00 0 Fleury, Marc-Andre $ 750.00 2 Debrincat, Alex $ 600.00 2 De Haan, Calvin $ 500.00 0 Mitchell, Ian $ 500.00 0 Jones, Seth $ 500.00 1 Hagel, Brandon $ 450.00 2 Johnson, Tyler $ 450.00 3 Dach, Kirby $ 400.00 2 Entwistle, Mackenzie $ 350.00 0 Gustafsson, Eric $ 350.00 0 Jujhar, Khaira $ 350.00 0 Kurashev, Philipp $ 350.00 0 Murphy, Connor $ 350.00 0 Stillman, Riley $ 350.00 0 Borgstrom, Henrik $ 350.00 1 Gaudette, Adam $ 350.00 1 Lankinen, Kevin $ 350.00 1 McCabe, Jake $ 350.00 1 Kubalik, Dominik $ 350.00 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 Maybe the whole "#10 Broadway" (Devils) thing was simply too niche for collectors? IDK If anything, I guess since they all look the same (with sizes being the only real difference), would it really matter all that much who wore what, during a warmup? It's kinda "Well I can get a #10 Broadway for $350 or I can get it for $750." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's kinda "Well I can get a #10 Broadway for $350 or I can get it for $750." Yeah that is a possibility. However, Blackhawks collectors are usually pretty zealous for everything and anything and their pockets are typically deep. In talking about this with another collector, he said he thinks they started some of them way too high. I can see that where Hischier started at $750 while in the past warmup auctions I believe he started at $500. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 The Blackhawks jerseys all read "#39 Haysey". I knew they were all #39, but I'd forgotten what the nameplate said. Yeah given the general niche factor, they probably should've been priced lower...and like I said, does it matter who wore what, given that all of the jerseys are basically identical?

Typically the trainer marks on the inside either on the fight strap or by the neck the number of the player who wore it. There have been similar auctions in the past by other teams and none that I can think of have had this low of activity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfitz804 Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 For me, I wouldn't be interested in a jersey like that unless it was a tribute to a player I really liked. Hayes seemed like a good (but troubled) dude, but he played 33 games as a Devil and was not very memorable. To buy one of these after his death like I was a big supporter of his or like his death truly affected me as a fan would feel disingenuous to me. Maybe that's a weird take, it wouldn't be my first.

Actually, I find it to be a very honest take, and one I'd agree with. Of course not that any of us would ever equate a person's worth with how we should mourn him, and it's often sad when people pass early (there's definitely people who are an exception to that rule), but Hayes was a completely forgettable Devil. He's one of those guys if not for what happened, that you'd almost not even realize that he ever played here. Like you, I can't pretend that he had this major impact on me. For the most part, I try to collect players that mean or meant something to me...there's a reason why I have a friggin' boatload of Palms GWs. Hayes' story is unfortunate and sad, but I think it's much more so for his former teammates and family...he bounced around in his relatively brief NHL career, never sticking with one team for very long. I felt more when I found out that Kurvers passed...even though he (like Hayes) wasn't here very long, that 87-88 team was so special to me, and he was one of the players who made a tough 88-89 season more tolerable...he had a career year that season and was a guy I was really rooting for...of course, he's mostly remembered for going in the deal would landed the pick that would become Scott Niedermayer, but he was a nice player to watch during his relatively short time here...a guy who felt like a real building block (which he became in a much different way of course). His death (was only 58, died just this past June) was weird, on a personal level...now that I'm firmly in my 50s, when people that age pass, it freaks me out a little. I remember the guy as an NHLer and a Devil, who was only in mid-20s when he was here...kinda froze in time for me I guess. On a side note, DM84 had a GW Kurvers (red and green away) he offered to sell me, so I jumped on it...glad I did. It's a player that I remember well and who I liked, not to mention that it's HAMMERED...tons of repairs, marks, plenty of crest-crinkling, etc. One that I definitely enjoy wearing to games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct, but being that he was not a memorable player, its not really a guy that I would say I'm mourning. I'm sad for his family, like I would be for any family who loses their dad. But it doesn't become more meaningful to me because he was briefly a Devil, nor would I feel it was appropriate, given that I wasn't a fan, for me to walk around with a jersey intended to be a tribute to him. I would feel like I was faking it just to own a jersey. That said, I would never suggest that anyone else should feel any particular way about it, that's just how I feel. Congrats on the Kurvers, that is a very cool jersey to have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, you said what I was trying to say, but you did it a little better (I had meant to say "player's worth/skills" as opposed to "person's worth"...I was trying to say I wouldn't feel the loss of an athlete shouldn't ever be based on how good/talented he is). Yeah feel sorry for those who were close to him, his family, etc. And yeah, people can feel about him any way they want. Yeah I like the Kurvers jersey a lot. Also have a Jamie Huscroft GW (home white) and 75th NHL anniversary Albelin (red and green road) from that era that I enjoy wearing too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. It could be argued that at least in the financial aspect, its easier on the family when the person is famous. At least they don't have to worry where their next meal is coming from.

DevsMan84 Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 Earlier today someone on FB was trying to sell the Blackhawk's Hagel Hayesy gamer that sold for $450 in the auction last week for $1400. More power to him if he can get that price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevsMan84 Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 Also wanted to mention people have been posting their Blackhawk gamers from the Hayes auction on FB this week as they just got them in (to show off).

Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 Seems to mean more to the Blackhawk fanbase than to the Devils faithful.

There are a lot of them and many with very deep pockets. Not sure how they are selling their gamers these days, but they would typically only sell them during the offseason during their annual convention where they are auctioned off. Even common players go for crazy money and players like Kane often hit into the 5 figures. Even if it is warm up and with Hayesy on the back, I can imagine a lot of Blackhawks fans would have jumped at a chance to own a warmup worn Toews for $750. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see Rockies gamers come up in auctions every so often. Those Sandow SK stitched ones are definitely harder to come by and typically go for big money, even for no-names. Also, Hispanic Heritage and Pride Night warm up jerseys are up for bid on NHL auctions right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
