Awesome Peanut, Jim! I'm feeling one of his gamers in my future, as well.

In the meantime.....

Gentlemen, I present to you: The Holy Grail.......

Pre-1984 Walter Payton game used home jersey

It has several small dings in the shoulder areas, a couple of hits on the back numbers and some scuffs on the stripes but not much wear overall. That fact would foster a doubt except I know the origin of this piece and it's rock-solid. I've known its original owner for 15 years and tried to talk him out of this piece for almost as long.
"Pre-GHS" Bears jerseys are impossible to find, much less a Payton, so when finally given the opportunity to own this I mortgaged the farm to get it. I've only ever seen one other Payton gamer from this era and it belongs to our fearless leader, Roger Gibson.

[DaBears54]

I got this little gem from a good friend a while back. :D This is the Charles Tillman alternate jersey from the Lions game in 2007.

[terryzom]

That Sweetness is one of the nicest pieces I've seen on even this site in my short time here, a thing of pure beauty. If I'm ever in your neck of the woods, I'm coming to see it in person bro! I'm a little embarrassed to soil the code on this page after that thing but at least I'm not first :)

Kellen Davis GU 11/29/09 vs. Vikes with a nice hole and hit marks on the right shoulder and purple paint and an artificial surface scuff on the left one....

I was wondering who got the Kellen Davis! I got there too late. Nice pick-up!

[BU54CB]

Wow, some incredible jerseys posted recently !!

Rick, thanks for the compliment, your Payton leaves me speechless, fabulous pickup !!

DaBears - Love the Peanut, I wish mine was a shade of orange ;)

TerryZ - Nice Kellen Davis with good wear, wish he was more involved in the offense.

[TriplexXxSports]

Bears Throwbacks are on the market at JO. I inquired about a select few jerseys and here's what I got -

Urlacher - $10k
Briggs - $3k
Peppers - $6k
Forte - $6k
Olsen - $3k

I'm not sure who all else they have, but I can imagine they have most players. These are just the ones I inquired about personally.

[34swtns]

Yep, I'll definitely be buying my first one........



about a year from now when the prices drop back to somewhere close to reality.

[TriplexXxSports]

.....about a year from now when the prices drop back to somewhere close to reality.

I agree. We all know that prices drop after they hit the secondary market. I am just interested to see how much.

Or, in another scenario, they will sit, as did the Orange Alts.....

I'm with you guys... As badly as I want one of these jerseys, I'm going to wait a while to pick one up. JO is fantastic and all, but these prices are WAY out of my league.

[Vikingshelmetguy]

Bears guys,

That Richard Dent helmet is back up for sale on Ebay again:

http://cgi.ebay.com/CHICAGO-BEARS-Richard-Dent-Game-Used-Worn-Helmet_W0QQitemZ180598046937QQcategoryZ86828QQcmdZ ViewItemQQ_trksidZp3286.m7QQ_trkparmsZalgo%3DLVI%2 6itu%3DUCI%26otn%3D3%26po%3DLVI%26ps%3D63%26clkid% 3D5508586270931597367

A steep price, and it is hard to figure out if it is actually Dent's helmet. But it does have nice game wear, and looks like a real game worn Bears helmet. Interesting for sure. Note, I am not the seller of this helmet, nor do I know the seller. I am just letting you guys know about it.

[Tyrcha]

I'm with you guys. I just can't see dropping $1500 for a jersey of a guy who's regular home jersey I bought for $300. Hopefully, I'll get a crack at one of these jerseys when they slide into the secondary market.

[TriplexXxSports]

Whether or not it is legit, I did hear an offer of $12k was thrown at the Urlacher, and JO was going to take it (this coming from the horses mouth, btw).

Enjoy your jersey my friend. All I can say is WOW!

I just picked up my first Bears jersey for my Cal Bears collection. Today I received a 2010 Will Ta'ufo'ou #45 home jersey directly from the team.

Will is a young man who took a number of classes in our department here at Cal and he also performed at our graduation ceremony a couple of years ago. I hope his knee is OK and he can catch on with another team next season.

[TriplexXxSports]

One would think (seeing as though these 2010 Throwbacks are the Bears marque items of this year) JO would have some pics up. As of Thursday night, I still have yet to see one.

I know that I (for one) would like to see some pics before I considered making this type of purchase.

What gives guys?

[TriplexXxSports]

BTW - Nice pick-ups fellas!

[34swtns]

They're shopping them via email to the highrollers first, giving them first shot at them.

I'm not kidding.

[DaBears54]

You are correct sir. I'm definitely not a high roller but that didn't stop Robert from gauging my interest.

[TriplexXxSports]

They're shopping them via email to the highrollers first, giving them first shot at them.....

I guess the 6 jerseys (Forte, Briggs, Urlacher Uniform, Hillenmeyer, Peterson, Wolfe)... I have bought from them doesn't constitute me as a "High Roller", because I never got any e-mail. I heard about it 3rd hand.

I think the only reason Robert contacted me about these jerseys is because I have been bugging him for a month or so about when they would be coming in. He knows I'm more of a bargin shopper... ;)

[Dewey2007]

After looking at the very few pics there are of Ta'ufo'ou I realized this a 2009 preseason home jersey. He also got a brief mention in a Uni Watch article date 9/9/09:

• No uni changes for the Bears, but it's worth noting that they recently demoted rookie fullback Will Ta'ufo'ou to the practice squad, which unfortunately means we won't be seeing this amazing nameplate (http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3496/3895992957_e6cd84ebd8_o.jpg) on the field, at least for now.

[sox83cubs84]

Cool jersey with a cool NOB.

I must say, though, that I liked the #45 better when the NOB was FENCIK.;)

Dave Miedema

[Dewey2007]

Dave, I agree. I'm not a Bears fan but you couldn't help but love the way Fencik played safety back in the day.

Plus he had an easier name to pronounce!

Bad News:

Bears pantsed by New England, 36-7

Good News:

Packers still 1 game back, lose to Detroit 7-3

Best News:

In what looks like an outdoor game in which the Vikings will likely be starting their 3rd-string QB (Tavaris Jackson has turf toe), a Bears victory means clinching the NFL North!

DA BEARS!!!

[TriplexXxSports]

Even though I have my personal opinion of Tillman in that he couldn't cover a grape with a beach towel, that uniform is still nice.

I talked with Jarrod a couple of times over these and he said that they were not even going to post them on the website, and that most of them had sold already. Most definitely some sweet pieces. Even though they were above my budget at this stage, I would have liked to see a couple of them. I know Urlachers right shoulder was destroyed after that Vikings game....

The better side though - once people get tired of them they will start to make their way into the second hand market at more affordable prices so we can get our look then.

No doubt a sweet piece -congrats.

[34swtns]

I've never seen so many damned Bears game jerseys for sale on ebay. And they couldn't have become available at a worse time either. It's the holidays and everybody's broke!

[hockeytigers]

My guess is we will start to see a few more Bears throwbacks on this site soon... :)

2006 Brian Urlacher Game Worn Jersey & Pants - Game Exclusives

This things is beat to death - FILTHY! Papers are from 12/17/06 v. Tampa. Brian had 11 solo tackles in that game.

[Tyrcha]

1993 home Chris Zorich Jersey

I never in a million years thought I would get a crack at game used Chris Zorich jersey much less own one. Zorich was my idol growing up. I went as far as to give him an invite to my 13th birthday party when I met him at a signing as a kid.

Anyways, this jersey has absolutely been beaten into submission. There's about 6 major team repairs on both shoulders, one on the collar and a couple on the numbers themselves. The numbers have seen better days, too. To my surprise I've been able to photo match this beast to a 1993 Bowman card and a 1995 game program cover.

I am in awe of this jersey.

[34swtns]

Stellar pieces both, gentlemen!

[sox83cubs84]

The Zorich gamer brings back memories for me. In the mid-1990s, I authenticated a Bears home Zorich worn on the teams photo day. The buyer, a Beckett Pubs employee at the time, returned the jersey to the seller all with his undies in a knot and declaring it a fake because "Chris Zorich would never fit in only a size 46",

Wonder if he'll issue me and the seller an apology 15 years later if he sees this...? I won't hold my breath waiting.;)

Considering it's constantly surrounded by baseball stuff we always manage to keep this thread on the first page and that's a fine testament to how many Bears fans there are and to the degree of passion we share for this team.

I don't see any other NFL team-related threads with any level of continued interest like this one.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY 34SWTNS!!!!

Happy birthday, Rick!

Your birthday present:

BEARS 38, JETS 34!

I sometimes listen to Jason Smith's ESPN radio show (All Night, 12AM-3AM CST M-F). Jason is a fanatical Jets rooter and, last week, went on a typical
national talk host rant about how he didn't believe in the Bears, thought the Bears were in over their heads, ad nauseum. Smith has also been known to have guest hosts take over the show the first night after a Jets loss. I wonder if he shows up tonight, and, if so, tries to explain away how a team "in over their heads" could win AND put up 38 points on the Jets vaunted secondary?

Give you names? What you cant find a 2 week old post on a thread yourself? sheesh. Fine, if you cant take it I will leave you alone. Cant say I am surprised that bears fans get sensitive about someone continuing a friendly war of words that they started. Whats the point of a rivalry then?

Dave Miedema is the one who said something, are you having trouble finding it? I dont have an issue with him saying something for the record, I just have an issue when you cry about it. I tried being nice but for some reason you continue to be a complete prick. I didnt think naming anyone was really necessary but you kept taunting me about it and trying to make that the issue. You and I are "friends" on facebook so if you would like to continue this why dont you find me on there instead of sidetracking this thread with you trying to bait me.

[34swtns]

You are smoking crack.
Don't come into a Bears thread talking shizit.

I still have that set of '05's with your name tag on them. We just never got down to business b/c you were loving all up on your brother (and you know who). I've been holding on to those for you so long there's no dirt, just dust on them now.

All the 2010's are from the first half of the season (so far). Baker's dozen, no. I don't think Brian's worn that many yet this year. Unless you are asking how many pairs I own total. Then its a close guess.

Its been a good month so far, and I'm not done yet....

[sox83cubs84]

Everbody:

Take a deep breath and slowly exhale. Ryan and I were engaging in a little friendly woofing...it isn't WW3. I got a chuckle out of some of his comments, and it sounds like he did the same for mine. The back and forth is fun...keep it light, one and all.

As far as the Sunday game, I expect the Bears to win, but both teams have something at stake, especially the Packers...they just want to make the playoffs, period. The Bears would like to get the #1 seed, but they'd need a win and a loss by both Atlanta and New Orleans to get there.

Everybody...enjoy the smack talking...it's FOOTBALL, not war or famine.

2006 Brian Urlacher Game Worn Jersey & Pants - Game Exclusives

This things is beat to death - FILTHY! Papers are from 12/17/06 v. Tampa. Brian had 11 solo tackles in that game.
.




I want some opinions here. I believe I have found a match. 4 key components seem to match up. I did my best to capture the correct angle, but the jersey is on my pads so it was bit tough.

1) Mark on top of the right & left shoulders
2) 2 marks on the back of the right shoulder & a mark at the seam behind the Reebok vortex
3) Mark above the front #4
4) Dirt marks in the #5 (2 of them highlighted)

Look them over, and lets hear some of your opinions. There is one thing that does not add up though (hint: it has to do with the post I quoted). Can you guys figure it out?

Thanks in advance....

.

[34swtns]

Looks good to me, Matt. Great photomatches. Did our video boy come through for you or were you able to source the footage elsewhere?

[TriplexXxSports]

Looks good to me, Matt. Great photomatches. Did our video boy come through for you or were you able to source the footage elsewhere?

Nope, your guy came through with flying colors.

Did you notice the oddity while looking through those?

[34swtns]

The COA says the Tampa game yet you ID'd it to the Seattle game.

That's unusual for Game Exclusives.
It's not like they were Brian's ex-wife gone crazy with a Sharpie, (inside joke).

[TriplexXxSports]

Right. I wouldn't suspect Game Exclusive to botch this either, but it could have been that Tony botched the COA. It may have had nothing to do with Game Exclusives. Who knows. I emailed 'my guy' asking if the papers got switched on accident, and the right COA is laying around, or what. Hopefully its there, and we can just switch them so that the right papers coincide with the right jersey.

Either way, the bottom line is this... owning a significant jersey, such as a playoff jersey over a regular season jersey is just that much sweeter. I think that holds a little more significance in the value/rarity aspect of it. I'm totally stoked about it. I was at that game & it all came down to a last minute field goal by Robbie in OT to seal Seattle's fate.

Paper's or not, I feel that it is a dead on match to that playoff game. Which we all know, photo/video matches holds more weight than papers anyway. Papers have never meant much to me. They are nice, but not critical.

If I didn'tt know Brian as well as I do, one could even say that this set was worn in both games (Tampa & Seattle). But I know better than that so I won't even entertain that notion. Too bad it wasn't though.

Thanks, I cannot take all of the credit though. I owe a big debt of gratitude to people that were (and are) willing to help my collection grow. Members of this forum, as well as outside sources make this possible. I am very fortunate to have an understanding wife, and a growing respect of the work that I do.

Rashied Davis 2006 away jersey.

JO had no specific game linked to this one but a quick Getty search proved fruitful. The hole under the Reebok logo on the left shoulder proved to be the money shot.
Game winning TD by Rashied against the Vikes that year.

Awesome stuff guys! I grew up collecting autographs and have ventured into game used items over the past few years. I stick to mainly bats, hockeys sticks, cleats and gloves as I can get these from the players and jerseys are a little hard to come by and get pricey. Here are some of the Bears items I'v collected:

Game used Chris Williams cleats and gloves (cleats used on Monday Night Football game against MIN last year...sigend as such)

Well, it looks like there's a very real possibility that the Bears will let the Packers back into the playoffs.

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2010/12/31/report-signs-point-towards-bears-resting-some-starters/

I sincerely hope not. I'd think you rest or limit your starters against anybody but Green Bay.

Lovie Smith is too fond of beating the Packers to let this happen. The only way I see wholesale resting of starters is if the game becomes a blowout either way.

Great collection of Hester kick/punt return footage:

[perlman9]

That is a great collection, 24 Especially the Kellen Davis. Hopefully JO will get another and I can beat ya to it on their sale =) Also, the Bucs jersey caught my eye. Who is that hiding in the corner there?

[34swtns]

Very observant! That would be Brad Culpepper, Warrick Dunn and John Lynch. Mike Alstott is under the pile as well, carrying the three of them on his back in short yardage headed for the endzone. :D

[perlman9]

I have to say, I am more impressed with the Bucs jerseys...haha But I have been a fan since I was 6 and it was 1977!

[sox83cubs84]

[quote=34swtns;232628]Bears o-line absolutely GAVE this one away.

Not the first time the offensive (in more ways than one) line of the Bears has done that.

The Packers were desperate...the Bears knew their position in the playoffs...I think that had something to do with it, as well.

Found it interesting that two teams that each scored over 70 points in their last 2 gmes COMBINED for only 13 in this game. Good defenses will do that.

Dave Miedema

[BU54CB]

At least the defense showed up, nice to see them play better, although I felt too many guys were open downfield. What's the deal with pulling Jennings for Bowman, Bowman got burned badly.

[at350zguyy]

bowman also missed tramon williams on the long punt return. that guy has regressed. at least d.j. moore forced a fumble today. nice to see him make a play

[d4347]

Does anyone have any idea how I could purchase game used Bears pants and socks. I'm specifically looking for Alex Brown and Cory Graham from 2009 but would settle for other seasons. Does JO have these in stock somewhere and just don't advertise them? Any ideas would be appreciated.

Can't remember the last time I uttered these words:

GO PHILLY!!

Oddly enough dude, you want to root for the Peckers. If GB wins, we will see Seattle, and the Peckers will head to Atlanta for the beatdown of a life time.

If Philly wins (the Pack are done and we no longer have to listen to their suck fans), but then we will be playing Philly.

I think, in all honesty, it would be better to play Seattle rather than the Eagles.

[34swtns]

Nah, I'm a Bears fan. I can't root for Green Bay, period.

Besides, we've beat the Eagles this year but we lost to the Seahawks and the 'hawks are playing lights out football right now so I'd definitely rather play the Eagles.

[34swtns]

The Pack owes David Akers a steak dinner.

I think the Bears are a bit of a different team since they lost to the Seachickens.

I'm hoping the Bears can end the travesty of a sub-.500 team making the playoffs. Even with their upset over the Saints included, the Seasquawks are STILL not at .500 yet!

Bears Buddies:

In case you aren't aware, our friendly nemesis from the Packer thread, ivo, has a Devin Hester gamer up on eBay until early afternoon 1/11/11.
It's tagged 2009, but the NFL documentation indicates it was worn in the Bears loss to the Giants on 10/3/10.

Good luck bidding.

[neverfinished94]

That would be me... :D

I haven't paid him for it yet, I'm still working on the funds for 2 other jerseys (Danielle Manning and Adrian Peterson).

I was thinking of letting it go. But it sounds like I would be a little crazy if I did.

Some of you may know, and some may not care, but I wanted to share a couple of things here on the board. You will have to excuse the fact that it is not directly related to Chicago Bears Sports Memorabilia.

I recently completed my Rookie season as LB & Specials Teams "extraordinaire" with the Roscoe Rush semi-pro football team. Some of you may have seen some of my pics thrown around here from time to time. We finished our season with an overall record of 14-1, with our only loss coming from our last game. We clinched home field throughout and easily topped our division so coaches decided to rest our starters for the final game of the season.

On Sept. 18th we were crowned Western Conference Champions, and then on October 2nd, we were crowned the 2010 Mid States Football League (MSFL) Champions.

Our season had us ranked at #9 in the BCS National Rankings, and at one point we sat at #2 before our 1 loss. Our national stats, and Championship season qualified us to play in the Semi-Pro football BCS AA National Championship (the Super Bowl of semi-pro football) in Homestead Florida. This will determine who is the Best of the Best. One 2 teams qualify to make it, and only one comes home "Champions". This takes place this Sunday - Jan 16th.

It has been an honor to reach this accomplishment. Without the tireless efforts from 59 other guys, who poured their heart and soul out on to that field every week, this would not have been possible.

One dream, one goal. This is what we play for! It is time, once again, to go to work... (and before you ask - Yes, it is real)

Yeah, it's nice of JO to have a deal like this right now, but this sale is not as good as their Black Friday 50% off sale they had in November. I have my eye on a couple of their jerseys, but I'm not willing to pay an extra 10% more than what they were offering people at Thanksgiving. I wonder if they would still accept best offers on their jerseys?

With the recent success of the Bears, I doubt JO is willing to deal any lower than 40% off on their jerseys.

[DaBears54]

Unbelievable... Have any of you noticed how much JO has increased his prices on select bears jerseys... aka Urlacher @ $8000, Peppers @ $5000 and Cutler @ $6000? I've seen JO sell Peppers jerseys for around $2000, and Urlacher jerseys for around $4000, now it appears the prices are doubling for the NFC Championship. If these are the prices to come, I'm going to stay idle for a little while... this is getting ridiculous.

[34swtns]

Apparently, due to the Bears current success, all of us have also experienced a massive increase in our respective incomes and are obliged to spend this sudden windfall on through-the-roof prices for stars' jerseys. ;)

Oh, Maaaatt............

The potent Rush defense forced 5 turnovers & 6 sacks (3 interceptions - 1 pick 6 and 2 fumbles - both recovered by the Rush). Along with 3 blocked field goals from the special teams squad.

HOWEVER....it was said that the most conditioned line will win the game....

Our offensive line struggled worse than the Bears did early on this season. They allowed 8 sacks total. We went through 3 quarterbacks who threw a combined total of 7 int's. Not to mention, 3 lost fumbles....

Needless to say, when an Offense allows that many turnovers, it usually does not turn out the way you want.

The Rush led all the way through the final minutes of the game. Then the dagger in the heart was the last int. which was thrown for a pick 6 with 1:54 left on the clock.

The Rush had an opportunity to drive but with 28 seconds left on the game clock the 8th sack occurred, causing a fumble, recovered by the opposing team.

Roscoe Rush lose in the final seconds 19-15....

I saw a pair of APEX cleats that have the NFL logo on the tongue and say BEARs on the back. Were these retail or cleats a player would have worn? Would be late 1980s or early 1990s. Thanks! ALso have colored NFL logo on bottom

[perlman9]

If any Bears fans are interested, this guy takes paypal and will ship. I was thinking of getting them but will pass. If you want them, just let him know Jason said it was okay as I spoke with him earlier today. They look pretty cool to me for $50

Unbelievable... Have any of you noticed how much JO has increased his prices on select bears jerseys... aka Urlacher @ $8000, Peppers @ $5000 and Cutler @ $6000? I've seen JO sell Peppers jerseys for around $2000, and Urlacher jerseys for around $4000, now it appears the prices are doubling for the NFC Championship. If these are the prices to come, I'm going to stay idle for a little while... this is getting ridiculous.

You're the one that got the Graham a shade before I did. I called in and thought I had it bought, but found out the next morning someone got it just before I did. Oh well, great jersey, I bought a Graham away jersey against the Vikings instead.

[weasel49er]

Sorry BU54CB, rest assured it went to a good home. ive had my eye on that bad boy for the longest time. i missed out on grabbing anything during the black friday sale, so i was glad to get that one when i did. By the way, great Tillman. I had my hands on one and it slipped away. Oh well maybe in the future.

[34swtns]

Good God, half time and we're screwed. Horrible play calling, the D can't defend the run OR the pass and Cutler is morphing into early-season, deer-in-the-headlights Cutler and not throwing worth a damn. Not to mention the refs don't have the ability to see all the Packer holding that's going on but they damn sure see it when it's done by a Bear.

Don't give up yet! 4 minutes left, 21-14 Pack, and Caleb Heine has put 3 touchdowns on the board (unfortunately one of them was a Packers interception). Bears D just held Green Bay to a 3-and-out.

[d4347]

I will never root for jay cutler again. I don't care how much your knee hurts, its the NFC championship. Tough character guys play through pain In big games. Superstars play hurt in big games. Cutler played so well last week in an attempt to change the national perception of his attitude and ability and then he pulls this nonsense this week. He better have something more serious than a sprain. Caleb haney for starter.

P.S. Todd Collins needs to buy his retirement home in Florida and go away.

[sox83cubs84]

I'm avoiding sports talk radio this entire week. I don't need to hear about the Bears loss, the Cutler controversy, or anything else from this putrid weekend. I figure I'll have to deal with enough s*** here...I don't need to hear the radio takers pile on, as well.

I hope you're not continuing to buy into all the BS surrounding this "Cutler controversy" as many fans are. The guy had an injury, he tried to go back in, and the head coach told him no. Seems pretty simple to me, Cutler is getting killed for no reason.

[Tyrcha]

Until you lose part of your knee and try to walk on it, much less play on it, you have no idea. A 2nd degree MCL tear is some serious stuff. Take from a guy who's still playing on bad knees. I still feel the same way I always did about Cutler. I still think he's a more athletic, stronger armed Rex Grossman.

Here's my new addition, Lance Briggs away jersey used against the Giants this past season. The jersey came unwashed from NFL Auctions, which I found odd. I was under the impression they washed stuff. Anyways, the jersey shows good used. There's a huge repair to the back of the right shoulder which leads me to believe this was used in another game. I'm going to have to do more research on that.

I also included a pic of my 2007 Briggs (used against the Vikings) paired with my new 2010 Briggs. One of these days I'm going to have to nab a home jersey. http://www.gameuseduniverse.com/vb_forum/images/icons/icon6.gif

Looks good man. Nice clean match on the 55 (sleeve). It does not surprise me that the jersey is unwashed. It is to my knowledge that NFL Auctions just takes the items and bags them for sale. I don't think they care enough to launder 1000's of items to sell them. They just take them as they are (in most cases). There was a post in another thread that had a GU Towel that was kept in a bag so long when the guy got it, it was covered in mold.

Non the less - Great pick-up, and Great price....

Just picked up this Pre-Season helmet. Not sure who wore it. Seller had another signed by about 9 players with a different mask. Didn't get it but may pick it up, price was very reasonable but wanted to get one in before getting the other. Has a Bears barcode inside not sure if there is a way to find out whose it was by that or not

Perlman9, very cool helmet! Nice to see a Bears game used helmet on this thread. Alot of Bears jerseys and shoes to look at, but it sounds like there are not many game used Bears helmets around (being a helmet collector, I love looking at the helmets!). Thanks for posting photos of your Bears helmet!

[perlman9]

No problem! I think he has the other helmet still, with the autos though, I can see if i can get it for you if you are interested!

Hi Perlman 9: Thank you for your gracious offer (I appreciate it!), however, while I really enjoy seeing photos of game worn NFL helmets from any and all other teams (like the Bears), I actually collect only and exclusively Minnesota Vikings game worn helmets. So I would not be interested in obtaining a Bears helmet. But I appreciate seeing the photos of the Bears helmet you obtained for your collection!

[weasel49er]

Hey Perlman, awesome helmet man. it wont be game used but i cant wait to get my hands on the new speed revo that should be coming out sometime soon. all i have right now are just a bunch of replicas, but anyways, very cool pick up.
On another note, im curious to know if any boardies have ever been to the fanfest two minute drill. ive heard o a few people going through it but I dont know much about it. any info/stories would be great to hear about. thanks guys

[perlman9]

Thanks! I know someone on here got the autographed one the same seller had, I was very pleased with the pick-up and the price!

I've shopped in 1 or 2, and my thoughts aren't particularly generous. Most of what they had in the past were practice jerseys. There is a 2-minite clock which is started when you enter the sale area (limited to 5 or 6 people at a time). When the 2 minutes are up, what you have in hand is what you buy. The sale is run by Bears equipment guy Tonly Medlin, and he has been known to deny entrance to anyone with a dealer badge.

I have to agree with Dave. Having gone to the last Fan Fest, I ventured into the 2 minute drill. This was midway through the Fan Fest, so it's possible that a lot of the good stuff was gone. I like gloves and they had said a small number of gloves sold earlier. What I did see were practice jersey, game used pants, socks, faceguards, locker room name plates, t shirts, shorts and some random items.

Again, I'm not sure what was selling prior to me getting there, but I was hoping for cleats and gloves, none of which I saw.

That was me, I haven't had a chance to take any photos yet, but I will post soon. I was happy with the price as well, the autos aren't great, the only decent sig is Chris Harris. I may try to wipe the sigs off except for Harris.

It didn't come with a chinstrap, anyone know where I can get the straps that are used on those helmets. I looked on Riddell's website, but they don't look the same, am I wrong?

First of all, AWESOME stuff! As a Bears fan, I'm in awe of a lot of these items.

Secondly, I have a question for you regarding pricing:
How much would you pay/what is a fair price for a Brian Urlacher 2003 game used jersey autographed and inscribed "game used 2003"? I saw a non-autographed GU one on JOsports for 8000. I was just wondering what you guys thought a good price would be as I have a chance to pick one up and want to make sure I'm getting a good deal. Please let me know your thoughts


Thanks!
Chris

Chris, welcome to the forum. It would be helpful if you could post pictures of the jersey. Some of the more learned members here can first tell you if the jersey is even a legitimate piece before you throw any money at it.

Unfortunately, the site I'd be getting it from doesn't show any other pictures than this:
http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t58/tmac8462/urlacher.png

It's from a reputable chain store (don't want to say where as there's only 1 for sale there), so if it weren't 100% perfect, I'd have no problem getting a return. It's probably impossible to tell from those pics.
Also, what would be the approx average price for a gamer like this? Would 6k be over-paying? Sorry for all the questions, and thanks in advance for the help!

You can email Jo and work out a deal with them for an Urlacher jersey.
They are always open to offers from what I have heard.

Look Chris,

That's an '08 jersey, not '03. It is either a preseason jersey, or had the "C" patch removed from it. MM, Walmart, Dick's, etc. have been pushing this jersey over then net for month's now. Do a search, and see for yourself....

For the price your "source" is charging, I would suggest holding on for one with that has the proper ID's still in tact, and a better price.

[TriplexXxSports]

..... Would 6k be over-paying.....

YES!

[chisox2008]

Thanks for the opinions guys! I knew you guys had probably seen it before, but the reason I asked was because I have a 40% off coupon. Making it only 6k. That's why I was wondering if that was a good price. They also I've the Urlacher signed GU cleats which I'm sure everyones seen before for 40% off.
Let me know what you think


Thanks again,
Chris

A little background JO had been selling them for four grand before the big playoff run. They are known for upping their prices like that. They did it with the Jets in 2010 and with the Rodgers jersey they have now. It was 8k in January, then 11,500 now its 15k. All in like two months time. They also ran a promotion on their Bears stuff the week before the NFC Championship Game that was either 40 or 50% off all Bears jerseys, I don't recall which. So it was the case of jacking up the price and then having a "sale" back to near the original price. Very smart capitialism on their part if the team had made the Super Bowl some deep pocketed fan would have run to buy it as soon as they clinched. So try emailing them an offer of like 4-5k, I would be willing to bet they would take it. As far as cleats those are not that desirable and valuable for any player. The top QBs don't go for more than 2-4k even. I wouldn't go crazy for those unless you get a steal jerseys are much more sought after and valuable.

[TriplexXxSports]

...They also ran a promotion on their Bears stuff the week before the NFC Championship Game that was either 40 or 50% off all Bears jerseys...

40% all jerseys from 2008 or prior - 30% off 2009 jerseys.


So try emailing them an offer of like 4-5k, I would be willing to bet they would take it.

Still over priced, considering $5k was the bill for an Urlacher Orange Alternate....

And, if you are looking for cleats, let me know. I have quite a few for much less than $1499.99

[BU54CB]

I picked up the Corey Graham during the sale before the Championship game, got the helmet off craigslist from the same guy perlman9 did. Some nice signatures, although I wouldn't have used this helmet for that purpose.

ARGH!!! I really want one of those throwbacks but I'm not willing to pay the big money JO wants for them! :mad:

BTW. That Wright jersey is friggin sweet! :D

Awesome stuff guys. The "2010 throwback club" is still pretty small, although there seems to be a lot of guys buying Bears stuff who aren't members of this forum apparently.

Whats up Fellas, Finally had a chance to add some pics of my recent pickup. Ive only been collecting for a couple of years now, i had always wanted to get a Chris Harris jersey but he was traded right after our superbowl year, shortly after i found out about the hobby of jersey collecting. Always thought about getting a harris panthers jersey, but i could never quite go through it since im all about owning just Bears stuff. in any case, I was finally able to get one of my grails.

I think the Bears are going to be big spenders and might need all the money they can get to make a big splash again.

[TriplexXxSports]

Yeah, but the way they made it sound is they just outright released them, with no talk of trade, of other teams offering to buy out the players contracts. Doesn't appear that making money was the idea on this move.

The Bears have never been a team to make the smartest off season decisions either...

What value did any of the 3 really have? Harris has been hurt for 3 years and ineffective most of the time. Hillenmeyer was concussed for a year, and Shaffer was ineffective as well. I wasn't aware that you had to buy out an NFL contract, they aren't guaranteed, and Harris at a 2.5 M roster bonus due, I had a feeling he was a goner.

Besides liking these guys personally, you are right, they barely made a dent in the recent years. That is not the issue. The money they had in Harris' 4 year - $40 mil extension could have been bought out in a trade negotiation, putting some money back into the Bears pockets, or money and a decent draft pick. Same with Hilley.

Just releasing them does nothing for the franchise. All it does is negate future payments to these guys. But, you can't tell me that Harris is not worth a contract buyout, or a draft pick, on a trade? Where the hell was the logic there. Why not try to get some money back?

Package Hilley & Harris together for a 1st and 3rd rounder, or even a 2nd & a 4th. SOMETHING, ya know.

Releasing them is saving money, but when you could of made money (either via cash, or draft picks), there is just no logic behind the move. And, as I said, the Bears have never been known for making the most logic off season decisions. Scratch that - that a**hole Jerry Angelo has never been known for making the most logical off season decisions....

[34swtns]

Harris has been on thin ice for awhile so no surprise there but I'll miss Hunter.

I liked all 3 players as well, especially Harris and Hillenmeyer, but I'm not sure they have much trade value in this case. Harris has been hurt for 3 years and never performed to the extension he received, Hillenmeyer was concussed all of the 2010 season. I don't see any team forking over even an 2nd and 4th for both or either players, that's a big chance on injured players that aren't getting any younger, 28 (Harris) and 31 (Hillenmeyer.) Trading draft picks for aging, injured vets is too much of a risk, but that's just my opinion.

As a fan, I would have liked the Bears to keep both, I think Harris' play was improving a bit and Hillenmeyer could have competed for his job this year. At least we could have held on to them and see what happens.

Angelo is one of the worst GM's ever. Why is it that Angelo announces to the NFL world that he'll let a player go if he can't trade him? Genius move Jerry, you just took your own leverage away. Don't get me started on Angelo's drafting !!

[34swtns]

Ohh good gaawwd.......... it's the off-season and I'm so bored.
There's nothing available but benchwarmer nobody crap on ebay or JO's overpriced shelfwarmers.

WTF are you talking about?! The jersey is completely unaltered.

And did your friggin' keyboard explode or what?!!
Bwahahahaha!!!!

[djnos7]

if that thing wasnt washed then something is wrong, cause the pics i have this thing had a deep dark green streak and wrinkled to death... so i guess it mysteriously straightened itself out?

[djnos7]

where is the brown stain at the bottom of the tail?

[34swtns]

Dude, you are smoking crack.

The stain is still there, I just didn't feel the need to photograph every detail of the damn thing and yes, genius, if you hang stuff up for a long enough period of time.......THE WRINKLES TEND TO DISAPPEAR.

Don't make it a habit of accusing people of stupid $hit in the future, OK?

Least of all, me.

[djnos7]

did i say u? I asked a simple question no need to get ur GU in a bunch!!! LOL... E-z BIG FELLA. Some staining just looks lighter than b4

[djnos7]

I request 34swtns posts to be deleted with the vulgar offensive material and suggestions!

[34swtns]

I should probably explain. Mr. "djnos" is a little frustrated because he sent me dozens of emails over the course of a couple months trying to get me to sell him the blue Briggs jersey that I traded to Matt for this one.

He's a little frustrated so he's gonna try and throw a couple of rocks at the deal that got made without him.


This jersey is 100%, without a shadow of a doubt, in the same exact condition it was in when it rode off the field on Lance Briggs' back.
Furthermore, why on earth would anybody wash a game used jersey??
And why on earth would you think me of all people would do something that ignorant?

Dude, please check yourself.

I'll make sure Matt chimes in on this one too.

[djnos7]

Jersey is self explanatory! There are marks that are gone and faded as well as wrinkles, which i guess can mysteriously dissapear just from putting it on a hanger? not to that extreme... Anyway my interest was always in the jersey and not in the blue since the use is minimal, but after seeing the new photos of the jersey, i am glad i didnt buy it, beacuse it doesnt have the same character as it once did as u can see for yourself in the pic, you be the judge! I am not blaming anyone for washing it, it just seemed like it was possible that the last owner could have done that for his own reason?

[djnos7]

if i am in any way wrong on my assumptions than i will admit i am wrong and offer my apologies to both parties involved. I am just making an opinion after an obvious observation!

[djnos7]

Please check yourself, i never said u would wash it thats just a plain dumb comment to make on your part! Actual beleive it or not, I was trying to help you out, because if it was indeed washed than the value has been washed a bit as well. Why would i think u would wash it???

[34swtns]

Dude. Seriously. Drop it.

You have no idea what you're talking about.

[TriplexXxSports]

I have to agree with Rick on this one. DJ, nothing personal, but you are out of your league on this one. How you think that jersey has been altered in some way, or 'cleaned up' is beyond me.

Could something as simple as a camera flash lighten details on a jersey, such as how dark a mark appears? Sure does! I mess with that all the time trying to photograph my jerseys....

This argument baffles me, and I have no intentions of getting pulled in. Just an on-looker. I will leave it at this - THAT JERSEY IS UNTOUCHED.

.

[TriplexXxSports]

Nice pick up BTW Rick. Good looking jersey. Any thought of trading for a signed Cade McNown Pro-Line jersey, and a set of Kevin Shafer kicks....?

[34swtns]

Thanks for the offer brother but I'm holding out for the big return on this one;

Yep that's right, Craig Krenzel jersey. Yeah baby!

[TriplexXxSports]

Craig Krenzel jersey. Yeah baby!

Just to set the records straight, I am the original owner of this jersey. I purchased it directly from JO Sports. This jersey had mainly been on display in my basement before Rick and I made the trade. This jersey is completely legit! I have never, nor would I ever, place a game worn jersey in the washer or dryer. My jerseys are ether placed in a display case or kept in their sealed plastic bags at all times. This jersey is one amazing piece and I am happy to see it go to someone that appreciates it! Thanks again Rick and enjoy that BEAST! I'll post some other pictures of mine a little later. ;)

[34swtns]

On the contrary, thank you. I hope you're as happy with the home jersey as I am with this away.

Mr. "djnos" not withstanding, this was a great trade and we will be doing more of the same in the future.

Cheers!

[weasel49er]

Well, Nice pick up rick, love the Briggs jersey. i think i might try to get my sights on one of those this year. turns out the Urlachers Might be a little out of my reach as a collector. all good though. gonna try and get a tillman and a briggs this year. hopefully i have a little luck, might have to come searching on the boards since JO doesnt seem to have exactly what im looking for.
Also for what its worth, who in there right mind would wash a game used jersey, if youre gonna do that you might as well go buy an authentic and leave the game worns to the real collectors. id be pissed if i ever traded or sold one and found out the owner washed it. i know its theirs, but id still be pissed. anyways, good luck to all the future hunts/purchases.
