Hello! Once again it's been a couple months since my last post. I apologize. As you read last time, my wife was due any day and that day happened shortly after that. We had beautiful girl born Mid Nov! There were some complications which forced her to have an extended hospital stay but, all is good now and we haven't looked back!
So as you are well aware, I collect Gretzky jerseys. I also collect other WG memorabilia but jerseys are my main focus. My other focus is Game Worn Wheat Kings jerseys. Well I was on FB and thanks to the power and wonder of social media, I found a page that was dedicated to game worn jerseys. I also found several other pages dedicated to teams and leagues from all over. A whole game worn community! This is great I thought! Then it hit me.... I've been collecting before FB was invented, and after all this time why would I not think to look online? I think of the jerseys that I could've had or ones that I might have sold ......oh man.
I happened to become friends with a few other guys who like BWK jerseys. The Jets and Canucks. Most of these other collectors like to trade rather than sell or buy but if the price is right, cash is king! I ended up adding 5 jerseys off those pages! If I had tons of cash I could prob add about 40 more but two kids and a house and all that responsible adult stuff happens to be more important. I also added 6 others thanks to folks on theses forums that led me in the right direction. It's amazing what fellow collectors will do for you. Of course you get guys wanting to trade or buy and vice versa, but I just don't wanna sell right now.
So Pink the Rink night is coming up for the BWK and they wear special jerseys for the game that are auctioned off. That gets INTENSE....like really intense. I'll tell the story next post!
For now, good night!
Keep that stick on the ice.
Oh and it was the Great One's Bday on the 26th Happy B Day Wayne!
