Re: Hockey

hey that jersey is awesome!!!
Is it signed?? Living here in Phoenix I get a fairly often chance to see Wayne and get his signature I could bring it up to their practice facility and get it signed if you want.

Re: Hockey

Thanks A's fan...I've had the jersey since this summer and have been pondering that idea...i appreciate you thinking of that idea, but i'm not sure if i want to get it signed yet or not

an interesting note on this jersey was that it was originally obtained unwashed and soaking wet from sweat and water bottles...the jersey smelled from cologne for almost 6 months

Re: Hockey

Just a word of advice, I wouldn't get the jersey signed on the outside. It seems most hockey collectors prefer their jerseys unsigned, at least on the outside where it is visible. Most prefer them to be as they were worn on the ice. It is your jersey and you can do what you want with it. I never understood the desire to get game worn jerseys signed when there is so much other stuff to use like replicas, photos, cards, etc.

Re: Hockey

I have always been a big fan of getting jerseys signed (well my mothers jerseys she is the jersey collector I do bats primarily) I think a nice framed jersey with a sig in the numbers looks awesome.

I agree with Mr. Neely8 on this one. Hockey collectors (of which I am one) tend to be extremely finicky about getting something in its last used state, which normally excludes an autograph.

The market simply is not there for signed hockey gamers; from what I've seen (and I'm sure others can verify), a signed jersey tends to sell for anywhere from 10-50% LESS than an unsigned one.

Obviously I'm not going to tell someone what to do with a jersey that they own, but no one knows their future circumstances and what may need to be moved down the road...to me there's no sense in sealing off most (if not all) of the high dollar collectors in the name of aesthetics.
