Re: Your Jersey Collection
This.
Now, with the jersey market being rather large (it really wasn't that big back in the day), the prices have risen astronomically. New replicas of NFL jerseys as of about '95 were $40. Now they're what, about $100 or so? Semi-pro (then known as replica) hockey ones were about $60. Few wore jerseys then. It was a totally niche market.
I didn't buy a gameworn Jonathon Toews Sioux jersey for $200. It makes me sad. The good deals only happen when you don't have the money to buy them.
