The Official Devils GAME WORN Jersey Thread

Just saw the details of the latest Meigray Money Grab...er I mean Grab Bag and it's brutal.  $150 for a 1 in 5 chance for a gamer otherwise you are paying $150 for an 80% chance of getting a $60-100 practice-worn practice jersey.  Even still one of the 15 "prize" gamers is a Colin White Devils gamer that Meigray values at $395.  What a joke.  I got my White gamer for less than half that from a private collector.

 

I guess Meigray knows full well how easy it is to separate a fool from his money by tapping into the inner gambler a lot of these collectors seem to have.

They usually don't put up details of the summer sale until at most a week before the expo. I wouldn't be surprised if they posted it the day before the expo or even same day

Anyone go to the meigray warehouse sale this afternoon? I was there and was actually first on line lol.

Anyway got what I wanted which was the zajac 11-12 white set 2. Has a little bit of wear but not much. Still happy with it and wish the terms were a little better since they changed them for this year but still got it cheaper than on eBay.

Not bad at all. One of my first game worns was a Greene jersey. Actually had an 11-12 gamer of his as my #4 choice on my list lol.

Did you go to the expo too? This is the first time I can remember where most people for their free blank authentic as part of the admission got 2.0's and something other than size 58 and 60. I got a white Washington caps 2.0 in size 56 this year

I doubt they care since they posted a pic of the winner at the expo on their Facebook Saturday night.

 

 

they do not want any telling becasuse the people that mail order them would like a not to know  whatr happend yet

 

Thanks, DevsMan84.  I saw that Barry mentioned some people who weren't able to attend not wanting to know the results, but it wasn't like MGG itself was asking people not to talk about it.  I figured it was fair game to ask because everyone talking about it here attended the Expo.  Disappointed that I won't be opening up the grand prize but still excited to see what shows up at my door.

No problem and I never do the grab bag as I did it once and never again.  I guess I'd rather put my money towards something I want rather than gambling on a 1 in 75 chance of getting a really nice jersey.  I don't have an issue with people doing it but I just find it funny when I read people's disappointment on other forums that they didn't win one of the prizes or didn't get what they want.  I mean the odds are stacked pretty much against you.

Definitely. I have avoided it in the past. I just figured I'd take one shot at a Marty now that his playing days with the Devils are over. I'm never going to actually buy one of his jerseys.

as bad as I want one of his jerseys iam in the same boat.. the amount of money that meigray is asking for one is down right ridiculous for a hockey jersey.. meigray already pulled a bone job by changing the terms of the summer sale and they wont accept 50% off on the older jerseys I tried to work something out with them and they were not willing to work with me like they did in the past.. not sure what their problem is all of a sudden but makes me not want to buy from them

Meigray prices are always silly but it could be worse (*cough* Steiner *cough*).  I mean a non-rookie or special event Josefson is worth $750 while an Andy Greene is worth $450?  Please.  I can understand the price schemes in the first year as those who want first crack at them will pay, but when they are sitting on the shelves 2+ years Meigray should be going back and re-evaluating the prices on these jerseys.

 

Instead Meigray relies on stupid grab bags to clear inventory.  And why not?  60 out of the 75 jerseys in this grab bag were the non-prize jerseys of game-issued, preseason or training camp worn jerseys where if you put them up on ebay would at best get $150, maybe a little more if you are lucky.  Meigray now does about 3-6 grab bags a year and make a ton of money on them and they tap into the gamblers in the hobby.  At this point Barry might as well turn Meigray into a casino (i've even said this on other jersey collecting forums).

 

Fact is as long as these grab bags work at clearing dead stock then Meigray doesn't need to change.  They as well as a handful of others are the gatekeepers to a majority of the game-worn jerseys in the hobby so they also have that for them.  It is what it is and yes the terms of this year's summer sale is weak but this is what it is going to be.  If I would have known earlier about the buy one get one free offer I would have better prepared to budget myself for that, but the terms were not released until 2 days prior.  Now I know so I will probably do that next year.
