Showing off the reason i am taking a permament break from buying cards

[jackieg]

As many of you know i am a huge Gartner collector..mike gartner 708 goals?

anyways the reason i have stopped collecting cards is to be able to afford game used jerseys ..the full thing and not just swatches. I have waited my whole life to be able to afford buying a garter CAPS jersey and finally this one shows up.

ok so maybe a bit of overkill on the pic but I am so!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! happy
it is from 1982-1983 playoffs from what I have been told and shows quite a bit of wear.

to see the rest of the collection check out the link

I don't blame you! You can't beat getting the whole thing instead of just a piece of White or maybe a two or three color card.

Very Nice!

Great player collector pickup! That is awesome.

 

[penguinsrock93]

That is a pretty darn sweet jersey!

However, I'm so new at it. How do you know its really game worn and from him as opposed to just someone playing shinny with it back in the day?

 

[enforcersonly]

That is a beauty! If ever there was a reason to stop buying wax/singles - there it is. Serious wear on it too - awesome. Thanks for showing.
