Sigh, makes me long for the days when I could walk into the Black and Gold shop in Metairie and buy gobs of them for $50.
He's lying!! !!!!!!!!
Well check this out. This is some of them.
Game used and issued jerseys were $50. Practice jerseys were $25. I bought bunches of both. There were no Bush or Brees on the rack, but they were in fact on a circular rack just like the new "authentic" jerseys and you could fondle all you want. The management said it was a one time deal. I gave some away at Christmas and sold some for tidy profit. I still have three or four. I gave practice jerseys to my twin God children who used them for high school practice, much to the envy of their team mates at Notre Dame High School. I was able to put a Joel Setterstrom jersey in his dad's hands (the dad told me his other son Mark was a player on the Rams) and another jersey went to the girlfriend of a player (Ahmad Brooks) who was going to give it to him for a present. I made contact with a fullback who had been cut. I offered him his jersey. He didn't want it (what??? I guess he was bitter).The good old days just a few short seasons ago. Nobody in New Orleans had any money after Katrina. Tom
