Very nice display! I have to come-up with some way of displaying my jerseys but with so many, I'm having a hard time deciding the best way to showcase them...

If you've got too many Bears jerseys to display, I can help take some off your hands.

Re: Show Me Your Chicago Bears Stuff.......

I've gotten a few emails telling me about the 2011 Briggs Christmas jersey on Ebay but if I remember correctly the photos from JO this jersey showed lots of dirtdirt stains so I believe this jersey was altered or washed by the current owner which to me makes the jersey about a quarter of the value. I messaged the owner asking if the jersey had been washed by him and he says shows good use so no definitive proof or answer on my part or his. I thank all the emails telling me about the Briggs though and keeping a lookout for me.

"Jaimy-aa-cb", where did you get that clothes rack and shelves? Looks nice and have been looking for something just like that for my jerseys..

Here's an early 1970's Randy Jackson white Wilson jersey.

I want to thank Mark (G1X) for hooking me up with this piece from his personal collection.

Enjoy:

hey!
I got the rack and shelves from IKEA, the shelves are the ones that you can put on your wall without any brackets showing

The Rack is just a simple thing, you can hang your curtains on them, and its adjustable to 2.14 mtrs.

the glas display case is also from there

Nothing fancy (not even a 100 dollars total) but it works for me

Here's the "Traveling Berrian" that I added to my collection.

He'll keep company to the other number 80 in my collection (Bennett) and not very likely to leave anytime soon...

Re: Show Me Your Chicago Bears Stuff.......

Picked up a few more jerseys... Here's a nice Ron Cox from 1992 with many battle scars and repairs. White color hides them so well... Up until this jersey, I thought the collar war ripped by the players but after this jersey, I realized that it's a team modification!

Re: Show Me Your Chicago Bears Stuff.......

Samets- great pickup!!! I have quite a few 49er gamers with similar collar modifications. It seems as if gamers from 1992-1995 had this custom neck but after 1995 it is way less common. I have also seen a number of late 80s shirts with custom neck alterations with some of the jerseys having extra material sewn into the neck for added comfort.

The shirt you posted is exactly the type of jersey I really like to collect. The multiple repairs, hit marks, field paint and other indicators of game use are what make a jersey special. We just do not see these type of shirts coming from the teams any longer. Most shirts on NFL Auctions have been worn in one or two games and lack the punishing use that NFL game worn jerseys should have.

To me repairs are what make a jersey unique and can also help clarify if a jersey is indeed authentic. The 49ers have had a very typical type of repair over the last 30 years. Knowing what these repairs look like and how the various teams patch tears or holes has allowed me to pass up shirts that I may have otherwise purchased.

Keep em coming Samets!

Paul,

In relation to others, I've only been collecting for a short period of time but somehow I 'm gravitating toward the vintage jerseys... There's just more to them. Don't get me wrong, I won't pass up a good modern jersey but the vintage stuff just appeals to me on a different level.

This jersey is one of the favorites in my collection.

Thanks!
