Just got home from the field, no I didn't stay for the game tonight. Too much other stuff to get done at home.
I will start contacting folks with what I found shortly. I was able to help out at least one forum member who wasn't after a Randy or Edgar, so at least someone will be happy.
After talking with the manager he was shocked about the sudden onslaught of sales but I explained why, since they got emails last night just after the message was posted here. While that may have been collectors, putting the info out there caught the attention of both collectors and dealers and in less than 24 hours all Randy and Edgar jerseys were gone.
I'm not gonna say that people shouldn't ask for some markup if they don't plan on keeping something but to outright buy jerseys just to flip to the collector for twice your cost, sad. While we will probably never see this kind of treasure put up for sale again, I probably wouldn't bother mentioning any kind of sale like this ever on this forum. Instead I now have a wantlist I can contact people if I see something. Sure it may be selfish but at least it wouldn't cost a collector double the cost.
I'm sure after they've sat for awhile the prices might come down a little, either that or Kruk buys them all up.
As for what is still there, nothing before the 1987-1992 style, anything prior is gone. Still a fair number of jerseys for the players I listed in an earlier post except no Gar or Big unit now.
Always looking for Seattle Mariners & anything of Felix Hernandez, Jay Buhner, Richie Sexson and Arthur Rhodes.
Can you verify if they had any Tino Martinez jerseys and what the prices were maybe? I can't locate an email address for them, but I'll call tomorrow if they did in fact have any.
While it's on the top, big kuddos to TMPJETS!!! I miss reading these type of threads where everyone is helping eachother out and not sending things downhill.
Even though I am not planning to buy any of these jerseys, I still want to thank tmpjets for sharing this information...even if just for giving us all some faith in our forum.
I picked up a Randy Johnson jersey today. Been looking for a reasonably priced Big Unit jersey w/provenance for awhile. Big thanks for marinersfan34 and tmpjets for the lead.
Everyday you can get a HOF'er for $400 is a good day.
Hey thanks you guys, really didn't see this getting as big as it has, I am just a collector and a life long Mariners fan and am so thankful that I scored the best Edgar jersey of the 3 they had. Alot of wear,snags,and many dirt stains on my 1996 Gar jersey. I have been on vaction and still am in Washington and been doing this all via my phone. So I am headed back up to Tuesdays night game and to hope to get another jersey if price and player is right. I am sure the team store staff was really like what the heck is going on? Well thanks again as I just wanted to share the new of this EPIC FIND to my fellow members and boo to those who are going to flip these. Wish me luck and hope I have helped afew of you guys out.
Just stopped by the Team Store to see if they had anything new put out. Employees where pulling jersey's of the racks like crazy filling phone orders. Saw a slew of Buhner's, Boones pulled along with Olerud's.
Looks like they added a bunch of older jersey's yesterday, just to pull those as well.
I picked up a Jose Offerman and Eric Hanson I almost bought the Chris Bosio Green Alt for 200.00 but passed.
I was thinking about a Buhner but 400.00 ? Dan Wilson 300.00 ? Norm Charlton 300.00 ? I mean those are your dearly beloved Mariners if your a fan so I can see why they are asking so much.
Just a small update to let everyone know that you can still call in and check. They are more than happy to help. Just have your list of players and they can pretty much tell who is left. Goodluck
I posted in the classified area not really trolling this area, but I was able to pick up a 1988 non game used and no name and number home jersey today around 1PM for 100. Considering it would probably cost me more from retail and it actually had the SET 1 1988 tag on it made it a keeper.
The best back to back jersey's I saw were Plummer and Lefvever(sp). Brought back some memories from my childhood.
I actually got my tip from an ebayer, who was selling a Chuck Cottier jersey on ebay. He also had a Viszquel jersey for sale as well.
I would have loved to pick up some of the older jersey's because I am tired of the mark up and losing at the last minute on ebay.
Did anyone happen to pick up a Dave Cochrane jersey?
