Re: where can I purchase Steelers game items?
The Steelers are among the toughest teams to acquire authentic game used or game issued items from. There is no store or company (to my knowledge) that has a partnership and authentic Steelers items rarely hit the market. -

J.O. Sports had a few game used items over the summer. Other than that, I've rarely seen anything from the Steelers.Comment

Holmes has been the only steeler I have really seen with stuff to get out in the past decade or so. I can't even remember NFL auctions getting anything.Ryan

Re: where can I purchase Steelers game items?
As a huge steelers fan i can say that game used steelers items are the toughest to find.And if you find them be prepared to spend.I am glad in putting together my steelers collection i was'nt looking to add game used items as i am not rich.I dont understand why they are really hard to find.The only thing i can think of is that thier equipment manager must have one hell of a steelers room.
Good luck with your hunt.If you want to get your friend any other kind of steelers item other than game used.Send me a "pm" as i am in the process of selling off my steelers room.

Check with Larry Pelliccioni at The Classic Stuff. He is a member here and a very reputable source. He may have or know of a helmet. I purchased a Florida Gator helmet from him couple of years ago.
Exactly what are you looking for? Maybe an email to the team or letter to the GM may be enough to garner a response.
Good luck!

Just to let you know as far as the writing letter to the team and gm goes.I have done this the last several seasons and they give you no information.And i have written to all the players and got nothing in return as far as items or even information.Comment

The Steelers Sideline store have carried practice jerseys in the past for a reasonable price ($30-40) i believe. However, you never see any big name players. As a long time ticket holder, it's ridiculous that they never release anything to the public. The Steelers have massive storage bins cataloged with uniforms from each year going back throughout the decades at their facility. Even at charity auctions here, the best you will find is like a practice jersey from a bigger name player or a pair of turf shoes.
Not to get on a soap box, but as a long time ticket holder I find it frustrating that they have never released anything to the public and continue to put such a stranglehold on their merchandise. I've long since given up my search to add a Steelers gamer to my collection since I feel like the team's arrogance when it comes to game used items is ridiculous.Comment

Re: where can I purchase Steelers game items?
maybe they are saving all of this for a partnership with Steiner like the Yankees.
like others said, they've only seen jerseys on JOSports, and you might be able to find a couple of footballs now and then on NFL Auctions.Comment

I looked into those once, but it seemed many of them had flip-flopped the offense/defense colors.The Steelers Sideline store have carried practice jerseys in the past for a reasonable price ($30-40) i believe.
And watch out on eBay, because there's a seller with multiple IDs that simply customizes blank jerseys and sells them as gamers.Greg

Re: where can I purchase Steelers game items?
I guess you'd have to check them out to see if they actually had any game used. I kinda doubt it. I bought one practice jersey for under $40 shipped, but it didn't even have the NFL or Reebok tagging. Just Ripon.so the game used are dispersed among five different locations?
I don't know if they're just extras or what?Greg

Re: where can I purchase Steelers game items?
I would check with the Steelers Outlet in Grove City. 724-748-3301
This is where the general odds and ends wind up. Last time I visited the store (over the summer), they had a ton of practice jerseys. Some of which were Reebok tagged and had the year tag in the collar. However, from what I remember, a good bit of them had zero use on them and looked brand new. I wondered if they just had a bunch made just to sell off at the Steelers store because the screened on numbers were very shiny not a loose thread or anything was found on the jerseys (but for the price...its a good gift). Also, in the midst of this were left over's from Steelers Fantasy Camp which were basically Fantasy Camp t shirts with numbers and names screened on the back.
Happy Hunting!Comment
