My buyers said it was a zoo. They got there pretty early and managed to be in the first 10. Lots of grabbing and pulling but they managed quite the haul for me. Thanks to the Pats for a great sale.
It was a little bit of a zoo. I was #3 in line and I wasn't there to get too many jerseys. I grabbed 4 in total and I already regret 1 lol. All game issued but not used jerseys. I think a lot of people had a chance to get a jersey if they wanted one. There weren't many "prizes" amongst them (I think 1 bruschi and 1 givens) so getting there early wasn't super important. By 9am there was still only 10-15 people in line.
I had a pretty good time. It was good to see some other collectors. These are the first jerseys I've ever purchased so I was in heaven.
Because of the obscurity of players I didn't mind too much that people were grabbing 20 at a time.

If you know the year and numbers of the time the players played you where golden. There was some good players to be had. I managed to snag a total of about 58 jerseys.
I'm kind of let down and have a bad taste in my mouth about this. I emailed people and made phone calls to see if I could purchase over the phone since I live in Utah and was told No by everyone. I look on here and find out people did the same thing I attempted to.
Side note if anyone is looking to sell anything please let me know!
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't it difficult to find a blank nameplate that matches a given jersey? You are dealing with a wide range of years, so you have different shades of material based solely on production variants of a given lot of fabric. While this is awesome that they are doing this, I wonder if some have big ideas to find a jersey with no nameplate or name, buy a nameplate somewhere and have a name put on and all of a sudden it's worth 10x purchase price.
absolutely not. All name plates where either navy or white dazzle.

Don't worry, there are several already up for sale:
Were all the issued / worn jerseys gone pretty quickly?
thell all be on ebay so no. There aren't gone at all. And Lmao at the zoo. I wish someone filmed it and would post on youtube. I knew the greedy pricks would be out in numbers. If Pats were selling 2012 jerseys I could see it, but for cheap reeboks people went crazy? Hobby is going to be so tampered with all the people re-listing for 300-400$ once they add incorrect font name plates.
