Re: Wisconsin Hockey: Vol. XVIII - Belief in a Better Tomorrow

Anyone in Milwaukee get the Wisconsin Channel on Time Warner? I never found it last year and a call to them got me nowhere.

The link shows your TWC lineup. Check with them to see if it is possibly ch 975 Milw Public tv. If it is, you need digital access package.

In the Appleton area, the Wis Ch is 975 on TWC.

Speaking of slope-headed folks...

Is there ANYONE in North Dakota who doesn't own multiple jerseys?

Of course $1500 is two years ernins up in those parts, so a game worn Toews jersey would probably go for around $5.27 tops.

October 21st coming up quick!

And you and yours better get ready to scurry on down your little badger holes, cause whole herds of them slope-headed Nodaks are hitching up their wagons as we speak, yes sir.

I wonder if the toilet is one of those with Goldy painted inside of it. One would think so, it looks pretty new.

You are hard, hard people, making fun of an entire race of NoDaks like that.

But come Oct 21 you will see the error of your ways, by Rocco.

No way the puck marks on that Burish jersey are real. Played hockey my entire life and I've never seen a jersey with puck marks like that. Did he just lay on the ice and take slappers to the gut for 40 games or something?

I understand the shock value regarding the price, but sports collectors are a crazy bunch especially with what Adam has aready done in his career and his future potential. Actually that kind of wear is more common than you might think, but you are correct they are likely not puck marks (not on a forward's jersey anyway). They are almost always caused by black stick tape (hooking the player) or resin/tape on the shaft to improve grip. See the examples below - granted extreme cases but nearly every real game worn jersey will show these types of marks when you look at them in person up close or view high resolution images. Head down to the glass for warm ups and you'll be suprised what you see.

Regarding the Burish that was on CBS sports: 1) The name was removed from the back of that jersey which is less desired by collectors and thus the lower price realized. 2) That jersey is not from 2005-06 as another poster mentioned and is very easy to prove. Who held the team's jersey contract for 2005-06. Check out the neck of the jersey in the auction photo and then compare to any other photo of Adam from that season. See something missing below the neck? 3) Look at the captain's "C" - only one color in the auction jersey, not red-white-red outlines. Also note the "C" location with and without the Frozen Four patch. 4) The tag in the neck "Bauer ProWear" (last used in the late 1990s) was not likely used in jerseys at any time when Burish played. Teams do recycle jerseys, but a high end team like WI is unlikely to hang on to a jersey for 5-6 years and then put it back on the ice. I honestly don't know who's jersey that might have been without more photos of the back and other details to help pin down the era of use. (Notice that the back hem of the jersey is cut off in the photo. I would put money on the fact that it says "Bauer" in the lower right corner.

I'm not going to bash anyone associated with the auction. It was likely a classic case of sports information or the athletics department trying to make a buck for the team and they grabbed a #16 jersey from the storage room, and made an assumption, which turned out to be incorrect. Easy mistake to make, but a costly one for whoever bought that jersey based only on the description listed in the auction.

This image is NOT from the auction (reference only)


BTW - If anyone has a legit game worn (mens) Badgers jersey for sale @ $500 I will be more than happy to take it off your hands - cash! (Especially the alternates from the last couple seasons - Badger Showdown, Outdoor games, etc.)

Considering that UW has (had) been auctioning off the game used 3rd for the past few seasons and they (for the most part) didn't go for more than $500.

From what I have been told, Seniors get to keep their jerseys every season, and the whole team gets to keep them if they make the F4. UW has a stock of past jerseys that can be requested for fundraisers by former players and used by the AD.

I still think that four figures is to much for a Burish jersey from his sophomore season, more than I'd consider paying at any rate.

Re: Wisconsin Hockey: Vol. XVIII - Belief in a Better Tomorrow

Question for you guys. Would any of you pay, let's say, $750 for the Burish jersey being sold (or a game-worn by a similar player) based on the value it holds for you, as opposed its value as a commodity? I know the commodity value might force you to pay more for something you value just to have, but I'm just asking about whether it is worth $750 to you for purely personal reasons.
