Chorske17 Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 To expand on a little of what Jordan said, i can't blame them for not wanting to give the $250 GI's or preseasons away at 50% off, but it wouldn't be a bad thing to put an asterisk that all GI's and pre's under $250 or $275 are only 10% off. This is a good idea along with taking a look at existing inventory and say, "hmm... I don't think Foster is still with the Devils maybe we should drop his value on a pre-season from $795.00 down to say $250?" (Granted the $795.00 might not be what it is actually listed for, but they have to see this stuff, right?) I eagerly anticipate that day, but both years I've gone... I've been disappointed. It isn't always there fault, but I do think they need to re-examine some of their pricing. I think wear should dictate a price more than a player. As I've stated time and time again, why can't we have a +/- scale for wear. Say you have an Elias with a base price of $800 (totally ficticious) and he was hurt so it is either a GI or worn twice. So you deduct a set amount and offer the sweater at that price. OR If the sweater has heavy wear and burns you knock it up to say $400.00 or what not. If he scores a milestone, special OT goal, or sets a record, bump up the price MORE. I really think a price guide is in order and I know it would take time to do it, but it is where the hobby is at regardless of what price MeiGray sells stuff at. Collectors and dealers alike won't buy a minor wear sweater for the same price as one that has good wear. I'd presonally want a weakly used sweater to be cheaper than say one with heavy marks (just like the GI versus game used part above). Look at the recent Elias sweaters that were recently on ebay... some had NO wear... they went cheap, but there was one that I think sold for $800-900 with fairly good wear. The price guide is here whether people know it or not, but it is a mental guide not in writing. I have a lot of ideas for them (meiGray), but it is easy to come up with ideas and sometimes there are things that prevent the plan from being implamented. I told Barry via an email that he should run a deal called: PUT YOUR MONEY WHERE YOUR MOUTH IS: Have people pre-order any MeiGray sweater of a team that is in the playoffs... for each round after the first, drop 10% off the sweater. Conference finals would be 20% off and finals would be 30%. I think more people would take advantage of set 3's, but Barry replied that they do the most business at this time of year and it would not be advantagious for them to enact my plan. I see their point. However, I thought it was a cool idea. No dice though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cupcake23 Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Sorry for taking pretty much all day to answer back. I was on my iPod for most of the day (sister's softball and the bar for the game). I was pretty sure it was the same jersey, which is awesome. Thanks for the tips as well. I really need a new jersey for next season since my recent Clarkson is autographed and I'm so scared to wear it outside. (white is not the best color anyway.... but my whole collection is white except my Ryan Miller one). I usually get a new jersey at the begining of the season and this just seemed to be the best one. Jordan, thanks for pointing the prices out. My thing is, being that I'm only like 5'6" and rather skinny, I would perfer not to "swim" in my jersey. I do know these are more form fitting and the replicas I have aren't the same. Still, I'd rather something a bit smaller and I think the PreSeason is a 53 and the one you pointed out is a 58 I think. I don't know. I mean for the money, it makes sense. I'm down to get in with someone if they do the half off. I have to start saving now though for this and the Draft Day if they're still doing that.

Random Poster Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 (edited) Here's some more ammo to further our dislike for Captain D-bag. Lookie what he bought. I guess he wasn't in need of $ after all, huh? Kinda feel like we got all our heartstrings pulled like dopes. Orr Oh, and he's still a D-bag for what he did with the Devils jerseys.

Yeah, the preseason is a size 56 and the regular season is a 58. Either way, you'll probably be swimming in them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rufener Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Re: Dano Pre-set I've seen many of these. There is no "recycled" theory. They were used in the quoted date range, until the team changed colors. New colors debuted in the regular season. The name plate issue is because they were all removed and restored, with a different sized plate. All of them I've seen have this. The jerseys are iron-on, including the crest! They used to go for $150 on MGG years ago. Cool shirts. Most showed great wear. Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no good answer. The reasoning is beyond me. Some would say, "they just did this type of thing back then..."; I feel there has to be a reason why. My preseason is all sewn on, BTW.

JWomp Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 That's a really cool Daneyko. I don't have a lot of money, and I'm trying to save for a Friesen, but if that stays low I might place a bid. I don't mind that it's pre-season...Daneyko wore it and that's cool enough for me. Plus, I don't have ANY older style red/green jerseys in my collection, so it would be cool to have one. Whenever I see a red/green jersey I kick myself for not getting this: http://www.gamewornauctions.net/products/1...rsey-314-2.html At the time, I only had one or two jerseys and could never see myself spending more than $200-$300 on a jersey. Now that I've broke that mental barrier (the 7 jerseys I currently own cost me under under around $350 each, but the 8th, the incoming Gionta, was $1K+), I would have gone for it in a second. Yes, it's a preseason, and the numbers are crackling and peeling, but where else can you get a Brodeur that cheap? Plus, the fact that it's red/green makes it even cooler.

JWomp Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Since i got shut out of that Parise due to Moneybags Seidl, i was going for the Dano. However, like all things, there's a price to pay for it and that's it. I don't see myself spending a sh!tload over a preseason jersey. No matter how much you want something, there's a limit in terms of what you feel an item is worth. Ken, if you want a Parise, Matt says MeiGray will accept an offer of $1,000.

Random Poster Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Ken, if you want a Parise, Matt says MeiGray will accept an offer of $1,000. Thanks, Jordan, but i wanted a rookie or at the very least, a nicely priced 2nd year with wear. Something tells me that right now, if someone was to find one, they're going to overpay and i'm not willing to do that anymore. There's got to be a limit involved in this.

goalieguy87 Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Hey everyone, as i have stated earlier, i recently aquired Pando's set 1 gamer (white) from 07-08..was wondering if some of you experts might know how i can get this photomatched or even have a pic of it. It has a nice puck mark on the name plate right on the P. Any other wear is small..just wanted a pic from early in the season that i could possibly match. thanks for any help. ps...i have google image searched and espn photo searched Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slimegoat Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Actually the peeling numbers make it even cooler. I'm watching the Dano as well but haven't decided on a bid. Will likely see where things stand in a few days. I was the first owner of this one. Bought it from Meigray when they first got all of the old preseasons. Decent shirt, but the cracked and peeling numbers kept me from wearing it much. Just seemed too fragile, and I'm sure time hasn't helped. Good luck to all the bidders.

Post pictures of it or let us know your webshots account... GW auctions list is up. Nothing but a recent Elias and Gionta. Because we haven't seen either of those available recently. I'm done with most auctions... Too many unscrupulous individuals out there. UNLESS I HAVE TO HAVE IT... (I've only seen two auctions with anything like this and won the won item) I'm not doing it again. I'll let you know when I'm going to bid, but the only one I wish I could've won was the Muller Rookie with autograph... Amen brother.... ANOTHER AMEN!!!

The peeling and cracking has always been a big deterent to me. There was an EXCELLENT post about it on GW.NET concerning the Nords stuff and how to stop the process and perserve history. No one really seemed to care and instead of giving ideas how to save these sweaters people just passed blame about where they lived an the weather causing the issues. Such a joke that site is. What a great tool it WAS. EDIT done for spelling. Edited April 21, 2009 by Chorske17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
