Mach_9 Posted October 22, 2006 Report Share Posted October 22, 2006 How many jerseys do you actually have in your collection?For me it is: 14 Hockey Jerseys Also own 9 Football and 6 Baseball jerseys. This does not include jerseys I wear for teams I have played for. I own 8 game used, 6 authentics, and 31 replicas, dating back to '92 when I started to collect. I hadn't bought a jersey in 4 years due to some recent financial constraints, until yesterday when I ordered one. I probably also have close to 75 jerseys that I actually skate in/have skated in.

Mach_9 Posted October 23, 2006 Report Share Posted October 23, 2006 Wow, nice collection. My hockey collection is 1 Game Used and the rest are replicas. Yeah - collecting has been my hobby now for a while, but unfortunately I really haven't been able to afford it lately. I'm a writer, and I was teaching, until la couple of years ago when my district needed to cut back on teachers. I was teaching the theatre and creative writing classes and they were among the first English courses to go. I make enough writing to support my family, but there's a lot less left over cash now. Every authentic jersey I buy is equal to the cost of one 20 game season in a men's league here, so I had to prioritize and my hobby took a hit. I've been teaching classes as an adjunct at a university to suppliment the pay, but I'm only teaching one class each semester. I've been in discussion with the school about becoming a full time professor, and that seems like it might take shape soon, so we'll see where that goes. Hopefully I can start adding to my collection again soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully it works out and I'll live down one of my dreams, of being the insane english professor with liberal grading policies that everyone just loves...

Hehe, I've seen those and agree with most other Sabres fans who feel it's better than the "slug" itself, but it just seems like there isn't much you can do with that thing to really improve it. Anywhere besides on the jerseys it just doesn't look good. I'll admit that Quinn was telling the truth when he promised the logo would look better on the jerseys, 'in context' so to speak but come on... couldn't they have just come up with something better?

Pittsburgh mid 90's third jersey (later became road jersey) Mario Lemieux 4. current Pittsburgh home (black) jersey, Mario Lemieux I have one other jersey I would like to have, preferably authentic: An early 90's Pittsburgh road jersey with the diagonal "Pittsburgh" across the chest. -Brian bribenn@cavtel.net Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DesertRat Posted October 27, 2006 Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 Too many. Well, that's what my wife would say, at least. I really should inventory them, but they fill two closets and several rubbermaid storage bins. I'd guess around 100 hockey, 100 baseball, 25 football, five soccer, but I'm probably underestimating.

I would be more impressed with my claim if I presented the data to back it up. That will be a project, which will take me a while. I have a reputation, where people who know who I am think I have 'every team'. Ha, no, it's easier to tell people whose shirts I don't have then whose I do have.
