Looks like I made a calculation mistake...

Jay's completion percentage should be 60.1

Here's an eBay special that made me go "Ha?"

At first it looks like a nice game used/ready jersey but then:

It's tagged 2002
Has a patch that was only worn during home games in 2001
Curtis Conway played for the Chicago Bears from 1993 to 1999

This Conway is a No Way...

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

It's overpriced.

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

It's overpriced.

Really?? 175.00 overpriced for a gamer? I was asking your thoughts on authenticity of jersey as a game used item, not the value. An authentic cost 125.00, you would think 50.00 more for a game used item isn't overpriced.
Thanks all the same

Harv,

You asked for my thoughts on this item. I gave you my thoughts.

Harv,

Sammy, I apologize if I seem out of line. I thought that you, being the veteran in the hobby, would shed some light on the particulars of the jersey said. Mainly being physical specifics of the shirt. But as I ramble through old posts of this vast thread, I've noticed that for you price consciousness comes first in factor deciding decisions. Again apologies, its not rocket science and being so new the hobby I've no right to"step on toes" on how one fellow defines his collection opposed to another.

Harv,

You are correct. I, like many on this forum have to juggle student loans, mortgages, car payments and daycare expenses.

I am very price conscious! I also do my homework and pay a fair price.

Here's an example:

You can go to eBay and search for an Urlacher game used jersey and you will find this gem for $7,999.95 or do some digging and find this gem for $6,375.00 Both jerseys seem nice and show some game use and someone could assume that this is the going rate for an Urlacher... What if I told you that I know a guy that is selling a rock solid provenance Urlacher jersey with amazing use for 1/2 the price of these two?

Let's move on! Still waiting to see your jerseys!

I don't think Lincoln wore this in a game. I haven't been able to find a photo of him wearing a jersey that didn't have cuffed sleeves.

Harv

I see your getting acquainted with the resident expert around here welcome!

In your GU journey just remember that all jersey's and swag aren't the same with star power, rarity, stats, usage and PM's being some of the bigger determining factors in values.

You can probably find a Lacher under 5K if you looked long & hard enough for around 3,500-4,500 as there are some 1st - 4th year captain patch jersey's that float around once in awhile if you know where to look and if your really searching for a deal with price your biggest factor look for one without a captains patch if all you care to do is have a representative example.

There are plenty of choices out there depending on whatever you budget is, your goals and what direction you look to take things but just remember that whatever problems you have with an item when you add it to your collection you will incur 2X if you sell or trade down the road as your collection progresses at which time you will receive many "fair" offers I'm sure!

Peace & Happy Hunting

Ron, thanks for the input. Frankly I'm not quite in the Urlacher league yet! Perhaps someday ! But i'm more than willing to accept any advice/help I can get. I basically have a bunch of authentic pro-cuts and just recently acquired a few game worn jerseys. I think my previous post may have been taken the wrong way, as I do understand every collector has they're own nuances-which is perfectly fine. My last post was seeking what you guys thought on the physical traits of that jersey not value. Comparative to that Lincoln to a Urclacher is night and day, I get the just of the message that was conveyed but an 5-8k jersey opposed to a 175.00 Lincoln? If you can give me some guidance of what your thoughts on the Lincoln is it would be much appreciated.

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

I dont think the Lincoln was worn in a game. Team issued at best.
