Re: How cool is social media?
It's worked for me, too. I'm Facebook friends with ex-Royals IF Greg Pryor, and I was able to confirm that a cap I was examining was his, as the team and style could have been worn by either him or the player that followed him with #4. He even asked if the cap was for sale. It wasn't mine, but I gave him the contact info for the auction house who owned it.

Re: How cool is social media?
It is great sometimes. I bought this jersey from a former NJ Devils equipment manager and was able to get Ken Daneyko to confirm through Twitter that it was his practice jersey from his first NHL training camp.

Re: How cool is social media?
THIS jersey is crazy to me. Dont get me wrong, i dont know specs of NHL jerseys as Im a NFL guy. I dont mean this as insulting as thats an awesome piece... but im just thinking 'man, i cant even count the amount of times ive seen jerseys from the 80s like this at thrift stores with #s just like that on the back that I assumed were just beer league teams.' Which, I'm sure they were. My point I guess is other than it potentially being much heavier, I could see that on a thrift store rack and other than it being cool for the xmas colors - id never have guess it could/would be a legit nhl practice gamer. Nice shirt!

Re: How cool is social media?
This jersey is very light weight like a cheap retail, which made me suspicious, even with the COA from equipment manager and positive ID from Daneyko himself. I called a friend who is the biggest Devils collector I know, he bought about a hundred practice jerseys from the early to mid 1980`s directly from the team when they moved to the new arena and his practice jerseys matched mine exactly for weight, heat-pressed crest, iron on numbering and tagging. So yeah, this is definately something that if were on a thrift store rack, would fool a lot of people.
