Scott,
That is great! I can't wait for mine to get here.

Abe

[bigtime59]

Did the Mets pullovers also turn out to be substantially bigger than their marked size? That's been my experience with the Orioles and Giants TBC pullovers.

[dcrules01]

No actually it fits nice..Ive never tried on a size 50 before I usually wear a 52...

[metsbats]

Nice Jersey!

Interesting to note the Majestic tagging is same as the regular season jerseys but with the Majestic label and tags on the outside of the jersey instead of the inside.

-David

[metsbats]

hmm Set 2. I wonder where the other set(s) are?

We should take a survey with all others who brought these retros and see what set each one of us gets.

If I start seeing set 3,4,5, E on ebay of these I"m going to cry:eek:

-David

[indyred]

Great jersey and pictures. That was quick in getting it!!!

[dcrules01]

I heard the players got one set for framing and the other set was sent to Steiner...Im not an expert is that what the set means??? set 1 1 jersey set 2 another jersey???

[Lengthwise]

damn, I didnt realize I missed these!

how much were the more inexpensive players?

[dcrules01]

I got this for $350..Last time I talked to them they had a Trachsel for $500....Not sure whether to buy the pants and cap also???

[norman nuss]

I called today and they had a few retired players jerseys left. Mookie Wilson, Elster and of course I forget the other. Not sure if they came complete with pants.

[TNTtoys]

All,

I received the current spreadsheet from Steiner; it was updated today. It's on my work computer.

From the best of my recollection...

There are quite a few inexpensive ones left -- Lima at $195 is the cheapest (they made about 6 non-roster players -- I think he's the only one left), nearly all coaches are left (they were the next cheapest -- I think they were $250 but I could be wrong), and a few '86 players (Sisk, Hearn, Heep, etc.) were pricing out at $400.

There are of course the mega expensive ones left too -- Wright at $7500 (I doubt it will sell for that kind of money), Reyes $3000, and a few at $1500 (Delgado, etc). Franco was overly expensive at $750 (yes, he is still there)... and there are quite a few '86 Mets at around $1000 (Dykstra, etc.)

I can post the spreadsheet tomorrow if you like.

Nick

[dcrules01]

Yes please do post the spreadsheet...Has anybody else recd theres yet??? What other non roster players did they have???

[dcrules01]

Sisk, Hearn, Heep, etc.) were pricing out at $400.

They are up for auction on mlb right now and so is Backman which im keeping an eye on :)

[Lengthwise]

[dcrules01]

Yeah post pics of the Elster I love seeing your guys vintage Mets jerseys..Anyone have a Backman or Dykstra???

[suave1477]

DCRules unfortunately the Elster Jersey is not a Mets Jersey it is a Yankees Jersey.

[GrndSlm]

I got in my 1986 Retro uniform today. Its awesome and not laundered !!! This jersey is a set 2, 2006 , the pants are tagged "26 Hernandez, 36-38 26 1986" on the inside and the cap is an all blue with the orange logo on the bill. There are dirt stains on the front and clay on the backside of the pants. Orlando pitched in Sundays game so , in this case, he used his set 2 in the game and must have kept his set 1 !!!

Thanks,
Juan Iglesias
GrndSlm@aol.com

P.S> I am still having problems uploading the photos. Maybe this forum is not MAC compatible !! If you want to see photos please email me .

[dcrules01]

Cool I was at that game El Duque pitched awseome ..I have a few pictures of him wearing the jersey if your interested email me dcrules01@msn.com

[indyred]

Would be cool to see that Hernandez. Sounds like a gem. I'd get some pics of him from game and keep them with the jersey.

[metsbats]

I received by Rick Down 86 retro today. It's a set 2.

-David

[dcrules01]

My Oliver is a set 2 also ..post pics :)

[dcrules01]

David I seen some of you Mets jerseys in the patch thread.Are they all game worn?? Do you have pics of your entire collection anywhere on the web i'd like to see..

[ham1963]

I got my M. Tucker jersey on Thursday and was very please. It has a big dirt stain on the front of the jersey. Now all I need is a Getty image of Tucker and a program from the game.

[dcrules01]

Getty doesnt have any but I do..I was at that game and I asked about the Tucker before I bought the Oliver...If you dont mind me asking how much was the Tucker..Here are 5 shots I took of Tucker Sunday....lmk if I can help ..They are all good for 8x10's or 16x20's

Thanks,
John

[indyred]

Nice pictures DC. You must have had some nice seats for that game.

[TNTtoys]

DC -- Awesome shots of Tucker... Would you happen to have any of Woodward from the game??? I haven't gotten my Woodward jersey yet but when I do, I would love to photo match it -- Thanks

[dcrules01]

These are the only ones for Woodward..

Speaking of older-style Mets jerseys, did you guys see the Strawberry and Gooden 1988 Mets All-Star-Game Worn Uniforms that were on eBay this past month? What did you think of them? I think the Strawberry (jersey and pants) went for under $600. And I know the Gooden (jersey, pants, and equipment bag) was last listed with a min. bid of $700, though I'm not sure whether it sold. They looked good to me, but what do the Mets experts think?

Reid

[suave1477]

I saw the Strawberry All Star on Ebay I dont think it sold, I could be wrong I saw it was relisted a few times bcuz no one bought it. I asked the guy about the items. I wasn't too comfortable with it and I asked a few of the members here about it and what there opinions were and we all came to the same conclusion that the tagging was a bit strange on it. So I didnt take the chance to bid and I let that one go.

Jason,

The Strawberry 1988 A.S. uniform did indeed sell (for $596):

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=53&item=220010775585

The high bidder (a game used dealer named "championshipsportsinvestments") seems pretty happy with it:

http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback&userid=petecal1240&iid=220010775585&ssPageName=VIP:feedback:2:us

What is wrong with the tagging on this Strawberry?

Reid

[suave1477]

Ok well as long as he is happy with it. Thats whats counts!!!

As mentioned before I spoke with a few of the members here as I am not familiar with All Star Game Used items. The questioning of the tagging was the It says Strawberry 1988 All Star, I or neither did the members here I asked ever seen that before. I myself have a few All Star Game Used Jerseys and they dont have anything showing the Players name or it stating All Star. As I said I wasn't comfortable with it so I let it go. He ran that Auction on Ebay about 3 times. Which tells me there is a good possiblity others questioned it too.

Jason,

Thanks. Very interesting. I thought about buying the Gooden uniform from the seller. I thought it was reasonably priced at $700. Can you post photos of your 1988 Mets All Star Jerseys? I'd like to compare the tagging. Thanks again,

Reid

[suave1477]

The Jerseys I have are not 1988 Mets All Star Jersey, they are 2003 All Star Jerseys, but I couldnt imagin there would be a huge difference I would think if a Jersey would State back then it was from the All Star Game they would keep up with that.
If you want to see the Jerseys I have now you can email me admin@gameuseddirect.com

Jason,

Thanks for your response. I want to make sure I understand you, though - the jerseys you are comparing were manufactured and issued 15 years later? Or is that a misprint?

If there are other Mets collectors who have photos of 1988 All Star jersey tagging, I'd love to see some pics.

Thanks in advance,

Reid

[suave1477]

Hello,

I am comparing from what members have told me of any year that they are familiar with including 1988 that they havent seen that kiind of tagging before, on top of that I am saying in comparison to what I have from 2003 there is nothing similar on it.

[dcrules01]

Here is GrndSlm (GrndSlm@aol.com) El Duque Mets TBC uniform .Very very nice i'm posting pics for him..

Nice pics of the Hernandez jersey. How many Throwback jersey games have Mets been in the last few years. Have any Cubans jersey surfaced or Mercury Mets gamers from the Turn Ahead The Clock promotion from a few years back.....

[pietraynor]

I have a G/U Pedro Martinez "Cubans" jersey from the '05 game at Pittsburgh on ebay at this time. Jay

[TNTtoys]

DC -- thank you very much for putting the Woodward pics up!! -- Nick

[dcrules01]

TNT did you win the Teufel????

[dcrules01]

Id love that Cubans gamer just a little out of reach at the moment..Mercury Mets gamers I only have an authentic..Id like to see a gamer though..

[TNTtoys]

Yes, I did win the Teufel...now I'm all tapped out!!!

Seriously, the oddest thing about the past couple of weeks is that I am a second baseman, and though it was not planned, I wound up with the jerseys of the starting 2B of 1986 and the 2006 20th anniversary series.

I'm looking at framing one, and putting the other away as an investment.

[dcrules01]

Id love the Backman it ends tonight...It might be out of my reach though im pushing the bank account now..:)

Congrats..I know the owners of the Sisk,Teufel,Tucker ,Hernandez and My own Oliver :)

[metsbats]

What were the final prices on the 86 Retros for Sisk, Teufel?

Thanks
-David

[dcrules01]

Ummmm The guy I know I got the Sisk for $325

[dcrules01]

Backman went for $510 ..I didnt get it

[metsbats]

Thanks for the updates Scott!

[Kid4hof03]

I'm getting jealous! I'm still waiting for my Julio Franco uniform to show up. The UPS truck pulled up today and I got all excited, the driver took a package to my neighbor and drove away:mad: .

Abe

[dcrules01]

That sucks....Its nice to know people that have other game worns tbc Mets...

[TNTtoys]

Earlier this week I predicted that the 4 1986 tbtc jerseys would go in the following order from highest to lowest -- Backman, Hearn, Teufel, Sisk. Rationale -- Backman was easily the fan favorite of the bunch. Hearn will be the last of the 4 auctioned, hence, those who may have missed out on any of the others might bid this one higher being that it's the last one... leaving Teufel and Sisk -- which I thought Teufel would go for a bit higher than the Sisk. Well, it was close... The Teufel went for $315, the Sisk for $310.

Does anyone know what the BANNISTER was auctioned for??? This one has been kept pretty hush-hush...

[dcrules01]

I thought the Bannister was $195 because he wasnt in uniform? There are still a few players siting at Steiner.Will they auction them off??

[metsbats]

In 1999 the Mets wore TBTC replicas of the 1969 Road jerseys. I believe they may have wore a TBTC replica of the 69 Home jerseys for a game or two also. Then in 2002, they made a feeble attempt to do a TBTC to 1986 with Rawlings jerseys without the 25th anniversary patch. The 2006 Retros are so much better!

-David

[dcrules01]

They just had the 69 tbc on ebay.It went for around $400...Did you ever see the Rawlings tbc game worn????

[metsbats]

Sure, Picture your 86 retro used two weekends ago and take away the 25th anniversary patch and the name plate. The NOB on the 2002 retros were not on a nameplate but directly sown on like the regular season jerseys.

David

[dcrules01]

Congrats on the Hearn David :D

[metsbats]

Congrats on the Hearn David :D

Just couldn't resist. Steiner actually offered it to me close to the final hammer price and I almost pulled the trigger 2 weeks ago.

I plan on offering Ed Hearn to swap jerseys as I know the ceremony worn jersey will mean a heck a lot more to him than it ever will to me !

Thanks Scott!

[dcrules01]

Swap jerseys?? You know Ed Hearn???

[TNTtoys]

The original list of "non roster players" that was priced at $195 per jersey included the Bannister at first... but the Bannister was promptly removed from this list and privately auctioned. This auction took place at Shea Stadium from what I heard, but I didn't hear anything further about it.

[Kid4hof03]

I received the Franco uniform today, it's outstanding, I'll try to post photos later this weekend. Just for an update, mine is set 1, I know several others had mentioned receiving set 2 jerseys, not that it matters much.

Abe

[metsbats]

This post is just to let you guys know how we can use turn our interests into something postive for someone other than ourselves. Please don't respond and just enjoy the story as I'm not looking for any accolades.

Ed Hearn during the 86 Mets
reunion 8/19/2006


As you all know I bid on Ed Hearn's ceremony worn 86 ceremony jersey and won it. Well I decided to win the jersey and offer it back to Ed in exchange for the one that was given to him after the game. After I offered to swap he said he was touched however he really didn't care too much about it but perhaps his wife Tricia may be interested. Now I did meet Ed's wife back in 2004 when he came over the house to do a private signing and she is fully aware of my Ed collection. After I emailed Tricia to see if she was interested in "the jersey" that Ed wore during the ceremony she responded that she would love to have it for their son Cody. You see Cody never got to see his Dad play ball and it never really hit home of what his Dad accomplished with the 86 Mets. Tricia told me that night during the ceremony everything came together for Cody as he watch a sell out crowd cheer for his Dad on the field at Shea. I had a feeling that this jersey belong back with Ed and family where it would have more sentimental value than in my collection or some other person's collection. Hearing what this jersey will mean to Cody Hearn made this THE best purchase I ever made during all these years of collecting!

-David

[LHG39]

My Sisk arrived today as well. Also set 1. I was hoping for a size 48, but it appears Doug put on a little more weight than I though, as the jersey is a size 52. Fits, just a little big.

Wow! a far cry from the size 44 he wore in 86!

David

[metsbats]

Nick, where can I email the photos of my 86 batting practice jersey to?

Thanks
David

[metsbats]

I'm curious. For all you gentlemen who plan on wearing your 86 retro jerseys, aren't you afraid the steiner MLB hologram will fall off??

[dcrules01]

You guys are gonna wear them?Not me No way...

[dcrules01]

Awseome David and im glad I got the chance to view you winning it...Great story

[metsbats]

Sent the photos. LMK if they can be viewed ok. -David

[suave1477]

Well I bought a Steiner Yankees Game Used jersey about a year ago to wear it has the hologram on it and I always dry clean it and till this day the hologram is still on and still looks new.

[metsbats]

Today I received the jersey which was given to Ed Hearn to take home with him on the night of 8/19. These were the gift jersey and not the ceremony worn and is tagged set 2 2006 size 54. Assumption would be the one he wore is a set 1 but will find out for sure.

David

[ham1963]

I won the Sandy Alomar jersey on MLB auctions the other day. I know some of you are talking about wearing your jerseys but it would be hard for me because of the major dirt stain on my Tucker jersey. Plus I will listen to any offers or trades for the Alomar jersey just e-mail me at
ham1963@earthlink.net

John Hamilton

[TNTtoys]

I have finally come to the party... would have provided photos much earlier but I have only just received the Woodward jersey this week. Both jerseys are Set 1, 2006. The Woodward has some faint dirt marks on it; the Teufel is clean.

[kylehess10]

I'm curious. For all you gentlemen who plan on wearing your 86 retro jerseys, aren't you afraid the steiner MLB hologram will fall off??

No offense guys, but why would you spend a couple hundred dollars for a game worn jersey so you can wear it yourself?? Why not just buy an '86 Mets jersey for like $100 on eBay?

[dcrules01]

Awseome TNT just pain awseome..Im not wearing my Oliver :)

[jake33]

Kyle, the point is that the value of the jersey always holds, if you buy an authentic jersey the second you wear it, it goes down in price, SOME would say the same with game used jerseys, but none the less it will always be a game used jersye,

PLUS the wow factor of people saying "where did you get that?"


Plus the quality is always better on gamers than authentics, and with authentics they usually have a poor cut to them instead of a custom cut.

But if you are talking just dolalrs and nothing else, yeah an authentic would be better

[dcrules01]

I bought the Oliver gamer and I also bought the Wright authentic..Trust me the Oliver jersey is better quality than the Wright..The Wright is flimsy .But since I can never own a Wright tbc gamer that one is fine to wear around for me and my Oliver will hang proudly..

[dcrules01]

Im agreeing with you.I have a gamer version which quality is top notch and a tbc authentic that sells on MLB the quality for the price is dissapointing.I should have spent the $200 on a game issued to wear..You beat me in price on the Wright authentic I paid a little over a $100.I live about 15 minutes from the Majestic outlet store which is a definite benefit to me instaed of shopping on mlb.

[LIMATIME]

Does anyone know if there was a Jose Lima Retro Mets Jersey from 2006? I would be interested in purchasing.
