Fanatics Authentic Steelers Items

Re: Fanatics Authentic Steelers Items

I saw where they listed a number of practice jerseys. The player of interest to me is an offensive linemen. I was thinking that the Steelers offensive players wore white, and the defensive players wore gold at practice and mini-camp in 2014.

Regardless, there is a listing of both a white jersey and a gold jersey of the player that is of to interest to me. In checking mini-camp photos, I see where my player of interest is wearing white while a defensive player is wearing gold (the defensive player made the roster, but was assigned another number). Can a Steelers fan or collector please clarify this for me?

Thanks!

Would you mind giving a ballpark of what you paid for your steelers helmet from these guys? If it's over 1k, I will leave it alone...

Right at that.

Wow I think we all agree the prices from Fanatics are high. But I got a great laugh this morning. I woke up checked ebay. Mitchells and Wheatons lids were both reposted for double! Also a few other items from the same seller that are marked up.

Re: Fanatics Authentic Steelers Items

Looks like the reseller already has some on ebay. But as for pricing, the day after a Hoyer Brows sold on NFL auctions (I missed it) offered them $50 more than the NFL price which was right around $500. I was quickly declined. I am not sure who is going to pay $2300 for a Hoyer jersey? Sheesh.

Re: Fanatics Authentic Steelers Items

What were the prices of these helmets on the Fanatics Authentics site? Any idea? Because the Ebay prices are ridiculous. I have tried asking them for a more reasonable price, and all I receive in response is "we will not be allowing people to know our bottom price, please make an offer"...

This feels like JO Sports II. The silly thing is that when I am offered a Keyshawn Johnson Jets helmet for $500, and Fanatics Authentics finds a $450 offer insulting for a guy who barely saw the field, I don't know where to go next?

Has anyone had any luck with this company?

Re: Fanatics Authentic Steelers Items

Not meaning to be critical of anyone's pricing, but I was greatly disappointed to see the price of the player I was interested in obtaining. He played in one regular-season game, and the game was on the road where the Steelers wore white (the jersey for sale was black). Priced at a grand, I could not justify that kind of money. I made an offer on the jersey at a price that I thought was reasonable considering that the jersey was never actually worn in a regular-season game. My offer was rejected, but I will say that they were very courteous and professional in our communications.

The jersey is no longer on their website, so I guess that it sold. Having recently purchased 2 hard-to-find durene NFL jerseys that are close to 50 years old at a combined price of about half of the asking price of a current Steelers player who has played in only one regular-season NFL game (and didn't wear the jersey in that game), I have to wonder where the hobby is heading if this is any indication of what a jersey will cost. This also makes me pause to think that perhaps the hobby has passed me by, at least from the standpoint of collecting current-era jerseys. I hope not . . .

Re: Fanatics Authentic Steelers Items

Over half the stuff disappeared on eBay last night. I didn't think it would sell that quick. Almost looks like a dealer bought a lot. But how can you mark up those prices even more?

Re: Fanatics Authentic Steelers Items

The Fanatics main website has a lot of Steelers game used as well but it's probably all the same stuff.

And if any of you have a Discover card, they are running a 20% off deal with Fanatics.com right now if you find the deal online, link through Discover.com and use your Discover card to complete the transaction.

Even then, it's still overpriced but it's still something.

Re: Fanatics Authentic Steelers Items

They also added Practice jerseys today. Let me just say prices are high but they did work with me.

Re: Fanatics Authentic Steelers Items

There are over 20 game used Steelers helmets from the 2014 season on sportsmemorabilia.com. They range in price from $1300 to $1800. They also have several of the lids listed on eBay with a Buy It Now option.

Re: Fanatics Authentic Steelers Items

I ended up picking up Lawrence Timmons' gloves from the New Orleans Saints game when I went to a game earlier this year. Picked them up for $175 for the pair and they show much use and a few blood stains. smcomstore (seller on ebay) is selling a lot of the game used stuff from last season. I've seen jerseys, cleats and gloves up there from a lot of different players. Gloves starting at $200 with a Heath pair for $300. Cleats around $300 for Archer and Wheaton. Jerseys are around $900 starting price for players up to $1,200.
