Show Me Your Chicago Bears Stuff.......

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

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.

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...

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

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

Samets Everyone is entitled 2 their views & opinions & Everyone's Collection Starts Somewhere But Remember What I Tell U Here That When U Go 2 Sell Your C & D Tier Player Jerseys (Webb, Cain, Cox, E. Williams, Berrian, Bennett, Engram, R. Davis, K. Davis, D. Clark, Adams.....) Down the Road U WILL Get BURNED & 1/3 of What U Paid on the High End. You should B Consulting with BIGSTIGA Maybe Dude Will Show U the Light of Day.

In My World More is Less & Less is More and If I wanted 2 Collect Trash I Would Have Become a Garbage Man.

Ron,

I'm not sure where to even begin with the above self-righteous rant...
I don’t need to consult anyone to tell me what I should be collecting. I collect what makes ME happy and if it happens to be a no one from 1992, so what? I’m not here to chase high dollar jerseys, as previously stated ; “I personally started to move away from the current players and higher prices to the forgotten heroes of the days long gone.” The beauty of this hobby is that everyone can collect what they like… I personally rather have 5 hammered 90’s jerseys than one modern shirt that saw one game’s worth of use. I enjoy the old uniforms and the process of research done for every jersey I acquire.
As far as getting “BURNED” down the line comment… I’m not sure how you know what I paid for my jerseys but rest assured, I will not be burned. I’m here to collect and as a true collector, I collect for my enjoyment and not to make a profit down the line that should be left to Investment collectors…
Did you take the comments from the other thread as a personal attack on you or other collectors that buy jerseys of current guys? I simply stated my personal opinion and no disrespect is ever meant toward any collector when I express my views of the state of the hobby and prices as I see them…
I would love to own many of the jerseys in your collection, just not at the price you’re willing to spend on them. I’m sure I’ll be able to buy many modern jerseys down the line for what I feel is a fair price to me. I’m really looking forward to adding a nice Urlacher, Briggs, Peppers, Hester and Gould to my collection.

Not Downing Anyone's Collection as Most GU is Sick on Sum Level & we All Collect 4 Our Own Enjoyment But @ the Same Time I'm Done Taking 2/3 Hits on Money Invested.

Just 1 Mans Opinion

Too late buddy... Too late...

Palehose for Life - I appreciate your thoughts but your posts are hard to read and the flow seems choppy to me with all the capital letters and numbers. Just my opinion!

Pulled due to CHEAP arse offers and so-called experts stating that value is 1k or less

Mick-

Id keep the Hester for now. Reebok stuff seems to be in lower demand right now. Just wait until he retires, the market for them will dry up and you could get lucky then moving it.

..understood.. i have 2 of these and decided to move one as i'm not a football collector.but the most annoying thing about it was this knot heads' expert analysis as to why the value has diminished so much and will continue to plummet...the comical part of about it was that his offer was the lowest of all that i turned down,,there was one for almost double of what this clown offered. i'd rather keep it than let it end up in the hands of these type of dip-stick collectors who remind me of those who entered the card collecting hobby only after it gained popularity in late 80's and early 90's.

Sorry bud but the market sets the price. I don't know what the offers were and what the experts told you... I watch many jerseys and was simply making an observation...

Last Hester at NFL Auctions that I personally saw only ended up bringing a little over $1,500 or so and that was a jersey with a patch that Ron picked up right above the post you quoted. If the primary market sells at X"" and we all agree that NFL Auctions tends to be on the high side, then what does a regular Hester bring on the secondary market?

I realize that many people bought from JO and paid serious coin for their jerseys but the secondary market just doesn't support/justify those prices. I feel bad for guys that own high dollar jerseys that were bought from JO and will never see their money back. At least you got to own a jersey off of the stars back and enjoy it while that player is still with the team! That has got to be worth it, otherwise, you are in the wrong hobby.
