What a write up. Thank you, @blurryhaze312. $270 is going to be a hard sell to the fiancé. Wish me luck.

$270 is absurd for any jersey these days. That’s mid-90’s, heavy duty CCM jersey pricing. Hard pass.

Hard to justify, for sure. I just like the look of it enough to splurge. Edge 2.0s - and even 1.0s - were well worth the price tag though.

Shame on the graphic artist who created this. They scratched out the wrong part of town. If they would have scratched out Heidelberg, then it would have been accurate.

Nevermind. Only blanks or a Crosby Fanatics.

Turns out I have hookup and got a Stadium Series Crosby for 50% off. You were right, blurry, that is a thing of beauty.

I know sites are having periodic sales (Dicks had 50% off one night only not too long ago) so these will be gone soon. Glad I got one at a solid price.

Looks like Dicks is trying to get rid of the Stadium Series merch. There aren't any jerseys available online but stores may still have them. You can snag one for $115.

Yea! I actually returned mine to Pens Gear as I was able to get a better deal elsewhere at the time. Like you said, especially at a good lower price there was no reason not to get it if you wanted one. I still wish they were actually "on-ice" authentic, but these were a nice surprise from what I expected.

Only $650 for an '08 WC Sid gamer? https://www.ebay.com/itm/394027340575?h ... SwTZFiVIjr

Bad lettering, even worse signature. I'm sure the MeiGrayGroop (which has at least three errors involving the tag aside from the spelling) can verify the authenticity of this jersey.

That's pathetic. I actually reported it to eBay. As a jersey nerd, that's very infuriating to me...

I did the same. I could have attempted that Sid sig while in a dark room with a Sharpie taped to the arch of my left foot and did a better job.

I have one of those "MeiGray Groop" jerseys! the difference is that I knew I was buying a knock-off.

one of the best things I've ever bought was a Pens hat from one of those sketchy Chinese websites


when I got it I saw that it has the NFL shield stitched on it

No shame in buying and rocking a knock-off. I have a few that I wear when I don't want to have to worry about them getting dirty or food on them. Those born trade jerseys were as quality of knock-offs as you could get. Unless you really knew what to look for, some of them are really hard to spot. Ali Express is a crapshoot of course. I've seen some that almost rival born trade but most are pretty bad.

I started getting back into jersey collecting in the last 5 or so years. I probably wouldn't go for a knock-off now unless I had a specific need for it or it was a gift. The Adidas knock-offs are particularly horrible. Maybe that's why they added the weird shoulder dimples.

I have a few born trade jerseys. It's not like I'm paying real money for a Dave Schultz jersey.

My wife bought me a Penguins advent calendar last year for Christmas from one of those Chinese sites. When it arrived, the comedy ensued. First off, it was a sewing kit box with a piece of cellophane glued to the front that had Steelers written on it. Inside, it was quite the experience to see what I would get each day. (spoiler alert: none of it was Penguins or even hockey related).

I like when I see people at the game with the knockoffs that have like medium brown instead of gold

It's really surprising to me how people settle for such awful knockoffs. I get the market for it - jerseys are expensive beyond their merit. But there are decent looking knockoffs and then there's people that wrap themselves in what is essentially an aids quilt...and frankly, the people that have them, should end up on that stupid blanket...
