Need Help on Hockey Jersey

[JimCaravello]

Thanks for everyone's replies - and Rudy - thanks for the kind comments! I will definitely contact him.

I am dating myself a bit here - but I was a senior in High School when we beat the Russians on that Friday night in 1980. One of my good friends had a party that night ( his parents were gone for the weekend ) and I'll never forget watching that game - every second of it. It was tape delayed - but we didn't know any better back then. To me - that was the best sporting event I have ever watched on the tube ( 86 Masters Final Round is a very close 2nd.....).

Morrow was a great member of that 1980 US team - and had a pretty successful run in the NHL. Most of you have seen the move "Miracle" - if you haven't, I highly recommend you do. You'll want to run a marathon - or climb a mountain after you see it.............

Thanks again for all the help - Jim

Milt must've typed out the LOA . He is a notoriously bad speller.
His word is gold in the hobby.

OK folks - I won the Morrow jersey. I have always wanted an early 80's Islanders game used jersey or a 1980 USA Olympic Team game used jersey ( probably would pay through the roof for that ). I know nothing about game used hockey jersey values - but the ending bid seems reasonable. Milton e-mailed me and confirmed the jersey and the COA - I am "pumped" to get it. Thanks for everyone's help and would love to hear whether I paid too much ( I really don't care ) or if I got a deal on it. Thanks, Jim

I think you got a good deal!
I have also bought from this seller with no problems.

This is a terrific deal on a jersey worn by an American hockey legend who won a gold medal and a Stanley Cup within about four months (then three more Cups!). And that's coming from a Rangers fan! Nice pick-up!

I'm familiar with the game worn hockey jersey market and I too think you got a good deal.

That game vs. the Russians in 1980 is, I believe, the single greatest game in the history of American sports. I've seen some of my favorite teams win their respective league championships, but nothing compares to that game and the subsequent winning of the gold medal. I still get goosebumps thinking about it.
