Is anyone going to the Draft Party at the Soldier Field?

Would be nice to meet some of the other members...

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

Yes!

I don't think anyone in the room knew what they were looking at... IF they even looked...

Joe Cain's 1995 Home jersey... Looks like a full season's worth of use on this one!

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

Visited a local place and took some photo's of the art on the walls

All appear to be authentic and most appear to be game worn...

I agree. Hester is now the red headed step child in Chicago. His jerseys are not moving on eBay to the point where one seller just pulled his set...

It will be interesting to see what the future holds for him and prices of his jerseys... I was thinking of getting one but decided to wait it out and pick one up cheaper later on when he's done.

I'm getting more and more into the pre-2000 jerseys where the prices are way better and gamers show tremendous use...


Congrats on a cool jersey.

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!

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!

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!
