If only I had a spare few hundred bucks...and the jersey just wasn't so damned ugly...
The auction's over anyway - ended Feb. 2, from what I can tell.
Seriously, though $250?!

Not bad, for a pro-worn. (not gonna say "game worn" since it wasn't) In the game-worn collector circles, that's somewhat of a cheap price for the AHL level. If Vesce makes it to the NHL, that's probably a bargain. Think about it...NHL replicas go for $90 (unpersonalized) on NHL.com. Authentics: $199. Personalized Authentics: $279. And these aren't game-worn. (Obviously, there are plenty of places to get them cheaper). But a game-worn ...as long as you can verify that it is...which is difficult to do, given the volume of fraud out there, is a one-of-a-kind collectible. A gamer from an NHL star usually fetches well over $1000 or even $2000. It can be an expensive hobby.

And a countdown that has 6 days, 18 hours, 55 minutes, 9 seconds. No, 8. Wait, 6.
