I haven't been very active on here lately because I haven't been buying any game used/issued stuff in a while, so I haven't been checking the forum or anything. But, last night I went to Chris Snee's annual United Way charity event and picked up a couple things from the memorabilia auction.
FYI... long post w/stories & details. If you just want pictures, scroll down. haha
There were actually quite a few game issued things there, which isn't normal. Normally he brings a ton of autographed things, but this year he brought issued & autographed items from Eli Manning, Justin Tuck, Steve Smith & of course himself. He also had a Donovan McNabb signed ball that he suggested I buy instead of bidding on Giants things (knowing that I'm a 'Skins fan). I don't remember exactly what things went for, but the Manning went for under $250, which I think was a pretty good price.
Anyway, I ended up with two Chris Snee game issued & autographed jerseys including a Pro Bowl jersey!! They saved the Pro Bowl jersey for last, so I actually lost the 2009 home game issued when it was auctioned off because I wanted to make sure I had plenty of funds to buy the Pro Bowl one. But, once I bought the Pro Bowl jersey, I went to the guy who won the first jersey (who is undrafted Rookie FA w/the Giants Jim Cordle). I asked him if he actually wanted the jersey or if he was just kinda bidding on it cuz it was a charity event. And if he didn't want it, I'd buy it from him. He told me that he was somewhat interested in it, but he'd think about selling it to me. Later, he came over and told me he'd sell it for my high bid (I was 2nd highest to him), but I bought it for what he paid. He is an undrafted FA afterall... not like he's got a huge contract or anything. lol So, that's how I ended up with both and not just the Pro Bowl one (in case u cared).
Normally things at charity auctions go for quite a bit more than they would at other places, but I think that almost everything went for a reasonable price. I may have paid a bit more for the Pro Bowl one than it's "worth", but I know that Chris kept his game jersey and this was his backup, so I'm definitely happy with it.
2009 Game Issued & Autographed Home Jersey
2010 Pro Bowl Game Issued & Autographed - Personally, I would've preferred this to be unsigned, but it was already signed
Thanks for checking it out!
