Grey Flannel Auction!!!!

[Utopian2630]

Hey everyone,
New to the forum and just like to say its great to see a place with so much valuable information. I ended up getting the McNair jersey at the Grey Flannel auction. I really liked the Dave Parker jewlrey but got insanely outbid on that one. I figured I at least got a pretty good deal on the McNair jersey so I'm pretty happy with that. Has anyone here dealt with Grey Flannel in the past? This is my first time dealing with them so I have no idea what to expect.

That seems to be a pretty good deal, Steve Mcnair is a good QB and if your a Titans fan even better.

Well I live in Pgh and am a Steeler season ticket holder, but I happen to be a Huge McNair fan....and Yes a Titans fan, after the Steelers. Sadly, my girlfriend HATES the Titans with a passion and even more Steve McNair, so unfortunately she couldnt share the joy of this purchase. I would have liked to have gotten the Hines jersey, but didn't want to over extend myself on the auction. Steeler stuff seems to be popping up a bit more lately though so maybe I can grab one in the future.

I won the 2003 Pedro Martinez jersey for $1,610. Not sure whether or not that's a "good price", but I liked it and I'm happy to have it. Although I've been a registered GF member for around five years this was my first time winning an auction.

Anyone know when the next auction begins?

I saw the 2003 Pedro Jersey in Grey Flannel's auction and I have to say that is a great Martinez Red Sox Jersey. The sleeves on this jersey are incredible. As you know Pedro wears custom sleeves.

Joel, what was the first season/year Pedro wore customized sleeves? Thanks in advance, Jay

I believe when Pedro went to the Red Sox he started playing with his sleeves. I think he started by just cutting open his right (pitching) sleeve. Then both sleeves were cut open and then both sleeves were professionally hemmed and opened. I think in 2001 he started to wear the huge sleeves, were actually an extra piece of material is added to make the sleeves larger.

It appears as if Pedro is not customizing his sleeves this year.

I appreciate that. I admit that I got a little nervous after nobody responded. I'm basically brand new at buying anything other than "commons", and I didn't know about this great site (or any other, for that matter), until after the auction had ended. I must have read every thread going back as far as I could and for whatever reason I just started getting nervous that maybe I'd been had or something.

In any event, thanks for the feedback. I can't wait till the jersey shows up!
