[thesteelcurtain58]

here are my three super bowl tickets, from the last three. 2-1. great time with friends and family. santonios catch was right in front of us. Got a pic of the formation right before the ball was snapped. including james harrison's interception return for 100 yds caught in front of us.

For those in the ticket collecting hobby, are these worth getting graded because we have extras. thx

[thesteelcurtain58]

Heres my durene jersey when i was 5 yo purchased at the football HOF. looks bigger in the pic than it is. prob will fit a 9 yo.
what makes this special is that it brought a tear to my Moms eye when i showed her. I may actually get this framed. My childhood hero. Also, dated his cousin. She was a she. Had to say it before the wise guys chime in. Not that it matters....

Hello...nice Lambert jersey...I've actually held that jersey in my hands...properly tagged game jersey, but in my opinion, it's NOT game used worn...Steelers jerseys from that period are hammered with wear/team repairs...especially a defensive player like Lambert. It's the same jerseys AMI offered several years ago...

[thesteelcurtain58]

Tell me more beantown. Has the repairs. Is beatup. That surgeon hangs around a group of guys that have a lot of the 70s Pitt stuff, the connections incl to the equip manager and they say without a doubt it's real.
Please give me more info.
Thx

[thesteelcurtain58]

Also, has the repairs, proper tagging in the right spaces and the setting of the numerals are correct. How the five is askew and sl larger. Also, ha sthe blessing of the community of Steeler collectors that don't post.
But I'd like to know what you know.
Thanks

[beantown]

Hello...could you post pictures of the tail tags and is the jersey autographed on the rear #5?

[beantown]

Hello...can you post some pictures of the tail tagging and repairs?

[thesteelcurtain58]

Hello,
There was a reason I wrote that it had the year and mft tagging but specifically didn't include it in the pic.
I did ask your reasoning other than that you held it. Please expound if you like.
Thanks

[thesteelcurtain58]

Don't you guys love my childhood durene lambert? It's so small.

I'm just trying to help...if this is the same jersey, which I'm 100% sure it is and was sold by American Memorabilia back in c.2004, it had NO TEAM REPAIRS....you may have bought something that has been "doctored" since it's last auction offering...

[abstractheory]

There is an existing Steelers GU thread with some nice stuff in it, just in case you missed it.

[genius]

I love that jersey, I remember the store well! Sears had the old replicas with the smaller lettering and the only place I remember the larger lettering was the old HOF store. I would bet anything that the HOF is not as good as it was back in the day, no matter how much money has been put into it.

[hrvatwill]

Just curious, but does anybody know why under the current Nike uniform design, Roethlisberger's jersey is the only one that still has two full stripes on the sleeves? (Maybe the kickers' do too but theirs don't count :)

[genius]

I think it's only because he still has open sleeves.

[thesteelcurtain58]

Love the keisel. One of my favorites lately. Hard nosed, epitomizes the Pittsburgh work ethic. The original fear the beard.

Genius...wow, I'm surprised anyone remembers that store. Glad it brought back memories for you. I treasure mine. And of course that little jersey is one of my favorites. Should frame it.
Are you from the area?

[thesteelcurtain58]

Phil316,
I take it as a personal direct affront that you post a picture that you know by reading this thread that I didn't want posted. Beantown asked twice and I still didn't. When you looked at my posted pic it was obvious I didnt want the tagging shown. Primarily due to fraud. That is my right.
I asked beantown twice what evidence he has and has not provided such.
Yes, it is a somewhat public forum. If I choose to post a pic of my family and someone wants a more detailed pic of my wife, Im under no obligation to do so. And when you go ahead and do it anyways I can't help but take offense. In a nice way..it's none of your business. It's mine.
Obv I'm under the wrong impression what this forum is about.
Enjoy, if I continue to post.

Phil...I don't think you did anything wrong...that AMI Lambert picture is out on the web and part of other forum threads....steelcurtain58 has refused to answer the questions I asked...not sure why....Fraud?? He posted pictures of all his other jerseys tagging...not worried about fraud on those? His Lambert jersey appears to be missing the Lambert signature it had many years ago and now it has team repairs it didn't have when I examined it back in 2004 :confused: :confused:

[tp_53@yahoo.com]

Thanks!

[hrvatwill]

Steelcurtain58,
Awesome Miller jersey! Congrats, I was the underbidder. We obviously both wanted it badly LOL

[thesteelcurtain58]

Bean, move on.
The signature is faded. So what, i erased the sig to make it more legit? I looked back at it and not the team repairs I thought. My mistake. Heck, I forgot a lot of the jerseys I have.
And u still haven't answered my question why u think is not legit, for the THIRD time. The tagging still there.
Fraud? How so? Have I promoted it to sell it. Have I asked for it's value or any buyers? Think before you type. Do me a favor and please do not read or post on my thread. You are not making this fun. This will be the last time i address this.
Everyone else has been great. The type of guys I'd have over. Thank you.
..in fact, I'm not looking to sell but per some of the members responses I will def keep them in mind for what they would be interested in. No time soon tho guys. :)

[thesteelcurtain58]

HvratWill,
I remember that auction. Boy, you were tough and the bidding got high. You got me in the state of mind where I'm not losing this. Lol. :)
If in forty years when I die, I'll tell my wife to sell it to you at a discount. :)

Btw, I think we drove each other up on other gear. Ugh. :)

[hrvatwill]

Haha....yes we did....then I finally quit:)

Heres another. I believe I got in the 9/11 mode when these came up for auction. Hopefully he continues the long line of HOF centers the Steelers are know for.

Hey guys I'm really interested in the Zoltan Mesko jersey on NFL auctions. Esp because its a white gamer, and the white ones very rarely every come up for sale. I really want to try to win it as an Xmas gift to myself. What do you think the jersey might go for? I'm no Steelers expert, so need some help as far as what I should bid my Max. I don't want to over pay, but it seems I may have to. Its at 300$ right now.

From my limited experience on Steelers stuff, you are probably going to have to overpay for it. I am going after at least one of the Steelers jerseys as well, but unfortunately have a feeling they will go crazy and out of my range. Fingers crossed though!

Ok. Time to get back on point and lock it down. I think I got all the Steelers GU 9/11 jerseys except one. According to the registry.

Its actually my favorite groupings and prob went overboard in bidding. But considering the scaricity of Pitt GU jerseys out there, the 9/11's are def worth it. Took about 4 months to accumulate them all.

trouble attaching the pics...

[thesteelcurtain58]

And here was a tough decision...adding Ray Lewis. Whats cool is the 9/11 game was against the ravens so the rips, tears, markings in Rays jersey was caused by these same Pitt jerseys. I posted game screen shots to match it which came out well if you havent seen them yet. Worth the look up.

those are sweet and show how much better the Reebok jerseys were. Does anyone know the story behind the Polamalu cross? Is it a sticker or decal of some sort, is it custom-sewn, and why are they removed?

Curtain--is there any remnant of it above his nameplate? Stitching, glue residue, etc?

Thanks!

[steelbella]

Polamalu started adding the cross to his jerseys during the 2008 season.

He told me that in person and video evidence supports that as well.

[thesteelcurtain58]

Otis,
The Troy jersey I got from the NFL turned out to be fake and doctored. It has since been returned and now may blow up into something big.

[genius]

wow that's some huge news. I'm assuming that the jersey stunk badly like most of them do on NFL Auctions, which would mean someone really went a long way to fake a Troy. I'm sorry that happened.

[bigben7]

thesteelcurtain58,

I would love to hear more about the fake Troy jersey. As you know, I was thinking about bidding on the Ben jersey but the photos did not match the jersey offered. I am wondering if that Ben jersey was also fake. Can you please PM me more about what you know. Us Steeler collectors need to stick together since we know how hard it is to find legitimate game used jersey's.

[BU54CB]

Otis,
The Troy jersey I got from the NFL turned out to be fake and doctored. It has since been returned and now may blow up into something big.

Do you have more information about this, that's a pretty huge statement to put out there with no further information.

[mbenga28]

When did you discover it was fake? Just recently or shortly after the auction ended?

[thesteelcurtain58]

Ok. Let's say there's a 1% chance it's legit ..without going into it all...still looking for that 1%. This may not be over. More to follow...maybe. That seriously is all I can say currently. I'm abs def hoping they find that 1%. I'd rather have the jersey.

The point is we should continue to look out for each other.

Bigben7,

I def mentioned and passed along bens. Been trying to find the purchaser. He'd be really interested.

You act like it's a murder investigation, kind of funny that you start beef with war helmets bringing up the possibility he's producing forged helmets but you're the collector that's had about 3-4 jerseys in question over the last year. I'm just warning others haha.

Jbean,
What is ur problem. I admit I'm not perfect and thats why we are here to help,others. You seem to never have anything positive to contribute. It was 2 from the NFL. The only other was the one ur jealous didn't get and still won't answer why u think it's fake. Don't hate. Do u teach ur children jealousy and hatred?

What's one got to do with the other? I've already asked u to,skip my threads. Ur negative attitude just brings many down.

[thesteelcurtain58]

Jbean,
U def have an unhealthy obsession with me. And that must be due in part because I have the lambert jersey u could have gotten.

I've been nothing but truthful and really didnt have to share what's going on with the troynjersey but to help others on here. but then get ridiculed because of it. And u wonder why the good ones left or just dont post. I'm almost there as I've discussed with them. Trying to keep positive and helpful.

I'm on a few other major boards and this one by far has a few so negative, jealous, bullying, uneducated etc but speak the loudest. And drive others away. There are some great educated guys on here that won't post and lurk amd communicate with me and others behind the scenes. Unfort that means a lot here miss out on some great quality items.
Again, jbean, don't post on my threads and just move on.

[thesteelcurtain58]

Jbean,
And don't speak that which u know nothing about. It's not a murder case but a huge law enforcement agency may be getting involved to the amount I'm privy. This is huge. Could be as big or bigger than nyg or then maybe nothing at all. So quit speaking out of ur butt.. Oh, great one. Stay positive. Ur negativity is going to eat u up inside. Want to buy one or two lamberts? Ha


For,the last time don't read my threads or even respond. I'm done with u but may be done with this.

[jbean023]

Lol did you take your bipolar meds this morning. I didn't even comment or want a Lambert you must have me confused with someone else, you've never told me not to post on your threads, no obsessions with you weirdo. I asked you to email me back in the day to see if you has any Cowboys in your collection. No jealousy here bud I have a sick collection you can ask ones that I have felt the trust and friendship to share with. You attacked War Helmets and seemed like you were bullying him and trying to put him in the ground this is a website for information and sharing so I'm backing him against a guy that thinks he's on a mountain peak with the thinnest skin up there.

[thesteelcurtain58]

Let's see it then vs just spewing negativity.

I do get u complainers/haters confused

I don't understand, you drop a bombshell that your NFL Auctions Polamalu jersey isn't authentic, then say there's a 1% chance its authentic? Either it is or it isn't.

If you're on this site to educate and look out for the collector as you have said many times, we would all appreciate you sharing the information since mnay of us on this site have purchased items from NFL auctions.
