Re: Hines Ward game used pics

They actually didn't get most of what they expected to. Neither Polamalu, Roethlisberger or Woodley was offered. They got a Harrison jersey in and the Holmes, Parker and Carter stuff that was offered on the site. That is pretty much it.

Like I said Im not a Steelers fan or collector I just repeated the email I got and a conversation I had with another member. Big Ben cleats were twice sold on NFL Auctions in 2009. They were game used signed and pink for breast cancer month. I believe a towel was offered as well. Granted these are not the most desirable items out there but at least it was something. Eventually all these guys stuff will hit the market. Before this year the Ravens and Packers were impossible to find. I mean when did you see a Reed or Lewis jersey? Now they are available and in this hobby once you take the genie out of the bottle he seldom is put back in, especially when there is huge money to be made. If I were a Steeler collector I would contact the agents of my favorite players and see if I could persuade them with cash to part with a jersey or something.

Re: Hines Ward game used pics

I have a question, if it's so hard to get Steelers game used items where are these other so called "game jerseys" you see listed on Ebay and other auction houses coming from? Are they being leaked from somewhere?

Re: Hines Ward game used pics

That helmet wasn't sold and is not in their possession yet. It was a listing error

Re: Hines Ward game used pics

Thanks for the clarification, bondsfan, that was my understanding as well, except for the Harrison jersey.

Speaking of James Harrison:
JO did, however, just have a Harrison game worn helmet that must have lasted all of five seconds before being bought. It had no picture, went for $5000 and now all references to it are gone on their site. I really hope they put up the photos, even under the sold Steelers section, as I would love to see the details of the helmet.

Re: Hines Ward game used pics

were they game used or game model?

Used I believe one went for like 6 grand the other about 1/2 that.

Re: Hines Ward game used pics

I did not inquire because I am not a Steelers fan. They do not put prices in their emails. I heard second hand Polamalu was priced for a jersey the same as Adrian Peterson so like $7k plus. They had a bunch I will try to dig out the email that named the players.

Ok I found the email the others were James Harrison and Lamar Woodley. What they had I have no idea.

Re: Hines Ward game used pics

thanks what were the items and prices for Polamalu?

Re: Hines Ward game used pics

so right now, it's just Hines Ward selling his own items or are other Steelers available through their own website?

It is just Hines through what purports to be his official site. The prices are very high though $4,500 for a gamer! If this becomes a trend and the scarcity factor goes away don't see how that price holds up down the line. To correct the record last year JO sold other Steelers items including Troy Polamalu they just were very limited quantity and never made the website they sent around an email when they did it and there was some discussion on here about it.

Re: Hines Ward game used pics

@jobathenut,

You are right, the 80's were down right awful with QBs like Stoudt, Malone, Woodley, Campbell and Brister. But even then, they managed to get to an AFC Championship and shock some playoff teams like the great Elway in Denver, and beat Glanville in Houston during the wild card round.

In the 90's, the team losing in '94 to San Diego in the AFC Championship and in '97 to Denver both stung, but neither were as bad as Neil "f@ck!n%" O'Donnell throwing two picks to a wide open Larry Brown in Super Bowl XXX.

But, through it all, there were bright spots, like them being the only team to beat the '84 Niners, at Candlestick no less. Or, beating Elway in his first ever playoff start. Plus, Blitzburgh in the 90's and that great defense with Rod Woodson, Carnell Lake, Greg Lloyd, Kevin Green, Chad Brown and Levon Kirkland giving a Dallas dynasty all it could handle in SB XXX. Man, good times!

Hi mbenga28,

From what I have been able to find, it's just Hines (for now). I know he is doing it to support his charity, helping hands. The only other items I have seen have been at JO Sports, and even then it was mostly Steelers that were no longer with the team (Santonio, Willie Parker, Tyrone Carter). Even with Ryan Clark, his stuff went up when they thought he was going to sign with Miami, but at the last moment of course he stayed in Pittsburgh. I'm pretty sure lambertisgod got his Hines items at JO, however.

Jo Sports have lots of nice Bengal items: cleats, gloves and jerseys from some quality players like Ocho "now I'm Chad again" and Carson Palmer, among others. My cousin is from near Cincy, and though he rubbed in it pretty hard in the 80's (including sending me the then new striped helmet logo hat for Christmas), he is awfully quite these days .
