As some may know, I have a decent Michigan State alumni football jersey/helmet collection. I got an email out of the blue from a former Spartan who had a jersey from every team he played with except the Giants, which I had one. He asked to buy it and while I was torn to let a piece go, it is the third jersey I have gotten back in the hands of the player.
The feeling of a piece going "home" is great, and just barely outweighs the feeling of losing a piece of the collection. He is friends with another former Spartan who doesn't have one jersey from his stint in the NFL so may have to let another go, but I just hope he isn't buddies with every player I have a jersey from.. haha.
On a positive note, he did have two of his Panthers jerseys, so swapping me rather than having to sell a piece, so even better.
Just curious if others had a similar situation and found themselves torn of getting a piece in the proper hands versus losing a piece of the collection.
