Where are my Ohio State collectors at?

Have any of you guys bought football jerseys from the OSU website? I was looking on there yesterday and saw a ton for sale. I am trying to get in contact with somebody at OSU to see what I can do about getting Brandon Saine's jersey. Anyone know if they'll do a preorder or any other type of arrangement?

Has anyone ever seen any Matt Wilhelm NFL stuff?

Here's the scoop based on what I have seen. I have purchased a few jerseys from them so far. My Zwick is great and shows some nice use. My others look new and appear to be unworn. I have e-mailed them before wanting to buy more, but wanting to make sure that they look used this time. They have never responded to any of my e-mails. I have seen a few that I have wanted to bid on in their auctions, but have been afraid to bid thinking that I'll get an unworn jersey. They had a Laurinaitis in their auction a few months ago, but I did not bid as they did not answer any of my questions and it sold for over $700.00. They seem to at least be adding more to the description in the auctions as of late as one jersey now is described as have a tear and a repair. Their inventory will be a hit and miss, so don't be surprised if you get a jersey that looks new. Also, I did get an e-mail about adding the 2006 jerseys and went immediately to their site, but all of the notable starters were not available. I believe that they keep them for the auction.

Not sure if the die-hard Buckeye fans saw it on ebay or not, but there is a Dave Burba glove available. I think the $250 may be a bit high but just thought I would mention it. I don't collect too much Buckeye stuff, but am friends with Tito Paul so have is Ohio State jersey and a Cardinals jersey

Posters,

I have spread my wings beyond Oakland A's jerseys from 1968 to 1980 and picked up a couple of Buckeye jerseys off their auction website. They have some game use, but not a ton. Some have repairs. I did notice that the nice LOA the accompanies the jersey does not say "game worn". I have not had the chance to email them, but I will this week and ask them to replace the LOA with one that states "game used". I did pick up the home Laurinatis jersey a couple of months ago. It does so game use and it appears as if it had a bowl patch that was removed.

Let me know if you are ever looking to sell the Paul Cardinals jersey.

UPDATE:

So I emailed the intern at OSU and asked about getting a Brandon Saine jersey. I was told that they cannot sell his jersey until he graduates because he is still on the team.
This is understandable because after reading on here, I found out that they cant sell a players jersey until his eligebility is done.
This person in the email told me that they also cannot take preorders for the jersey either because they are unsure as to which jerseys they'll be getting from the equipment managers.
So...my next step I guess is to somehow get in touch with an equipment manager...which is probably a longshot.
Anyone have any info on how to reach someone on the inside? I realize that some people may not wanna share certain information pubicly so here's my email in case anyone has any info.. murfsteve25@yahoo.com

Thanks!

OSU football tickets will be on sale soon. I'm looking for some OSU vs *ichigan.

anybody have any good tips on getting tickets? I'm thinking about trying to purchase them online July 1th... but I've also heard something about a pre sale. also is there anywhere where season ticket holders sell theirs (besides craigslist, stub hub, eBay) I just don't wanna pay $400 a ticket

Thanks for the heads up. I dont think Saine is a huge star so hopefully getting his gear wont be too hard to get. How often do the Bucks add to their auctions?

I have a couple Senior Bowl jerseys worn by Alex Stepanovich & Shane Olivea, both show great use w/grass stains..not game used, but have a couple OSU football letter sweaters, one from the '20s, another from the '40s. One of my favorite pieces is a signed '31 Newcomerstown HS yearbook featuring Woody Hayes as a Sr. Has to be one of his earliest signatures! Jay.
