If the price is right, looking for a Jake Ingram #47 (2009-10) and a Greg Salas #17 (2012).

Re: Patriots now selling GU stuff on line.

Jim:

If you are taking requests to appear in future listings, my most desired game worn Patriots jerseys (assuming Super Bowl jerseys are off the table) are:

1) Shawn Springs 2009 red AFL Legacy

2) Mike Vrabel silver alternate jersey (any year)

3) Bobby Carpenter 2012 red throwback

4) Any Andy Katzenmoyer 2000 - 2001

5) Going into the way back machine, any Tim Fox jersey from 1976 - 1981

Thank you.

Re: Patriots now selling GU stuff on line.

Hi Jim....what happened to the Pats Auction site? Any plans of using it again? I understand that it was typically for the Foundation and not the Pro Shop, but it seemed to be a very effective way of releasing Jerseys to the Public without having to check in 10 times a day to fight over the new releases.

As you mentioned that auction site was used primarily by the charitable foundation, but my dept actually manned it on their behalf during my first few years here. You’re right it was a pretty effective tool, but it unfortunately became very outdated software that for multiple reasons just couldn’t be used anymore.

We are definitely considering a new auction style solution for some of the items we hope to sell through this new effort.

Bump - any updates from the ProShop on when new items will become available?

Being the off-season, we don’t have any immediate plans to post any additional Game Worn items. We are moving our warehouse to another location on the stadium property in about 60 days, so we are focused on that right now.

Re: Patriots now selling GU stuff on line.

I collect University of Hawaii alumni players. With a few exceptions, most of my collection would be considered that of minor/common players. I bought the Adrian Klemm jersey from the Patriots Pro Shop. Even if it was only a team issued jersey I was thrilled to find it for sale. I also bought a LA Rams pants of Leo Goeas to go along with the jersey I have because it only cost me $29 which included the shipping.

Re: Patriots now selling GU stuff on line.

I have noticed a lot of stuff being sold is of minor players who have not played in awhile so I don't think any of their items will have that much demand.

I wouldn't make that assumption. Jason buys anything Michigan State alumni related. Another guy stated he buys Hawaii alumni stuff. I buy Ohio State alumni jerseys, and I'm not the only one. Not everyone is after a Brady/Bledsoe/Bruschi jersey, and with minor players they typically don't have much stuff out there as they weren't in the league that long, or with the Patriots very long. There are niche collectors out there willing to pay a premium for something they are interested in.

Re: Patriots now selling GU stuff on line.

If you guys want to bring in money sell current player stuff. Pants, socks, anything will generate a good amount of money. Other than that the starters on the Super Bowl teams will do well.

Re: Patriots now selling GU stuff on line.

Pants can reach a decent amount if they the player is known. Some people like the full uniform from some people and people spend some money. I am a Jet collector and see most of the jets sell for around 100$ on nfl auctions.

Re: Patriots now selling GU stuff on line.

I'm glad Brent forwarded this site to you. I think it's great you are paying attention to the GUU forum. Equally glad the Pat's are selling items. Is there any plan to sell more than jerseys like helmets, pants, cleats, etc..? (I know there is one helmet on the site)

Yes, we do have game pants and more Throwback helmets. I am curious how any people would be interested in pants. What do you guys think a pair of game pants is worth. Most (if not all) of what I have seen is laundered and my guess is most is game issued not game worn. I think there are several years/styles mixed in among the boxes...and we are pretty sure the years will be similar to the jerseys we have received so far.

We are also hoping to get more current items into the mix at some point too.
