Pabig Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 I have found my whale - An early 90s Team Telekom cycling jersey. I just won the auction for it on Ebay for 2,50 Euros plus shipping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pabig Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 Yes indeed. Zabel and Ullrich were the heroes of my childhood. Then "Operacion Puerto" happened. But noone can take away memories.Plus, this very jersey seems to be from 1993 when I was born. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnysama Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Sadly, the 'whale' I listed a few posts ago is on ebay as we speak, but the shipping is too freakin' expensive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnysama Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 ^ Well, I got outbid ion that 1980s Saskatchewan Roughriders jersey I mentioned. I gave it my best shot. Does anybody have that jersey in size L or XL that they want to get rid of? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewbacca Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 I thought I'd share my whale story because it's a jersey that has taken me forever to get. Anyway, after four years of searching, I finally bought myself a Vancouver Canucks 40th Anniversary jersey that they wore for only a small amount of games in the 2010-11 season. Back in 2011, I was at a flea market and I had the chance to buy one for $80, but I forgot my wallet and I went back and I never saw the guy selling it again. Because of my stupidity on that day in 2011, I ended up waiting four years for the opportunity to finally get one and just as I thought I was never going to find one for sale again, I found someone selling the jersey and I bought it and I feel like I wrote a huge jersey wrong, as that jersey is one of my favorite hockey jerseys.

TheOldRoman Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 I decided I needed this hat for nostalgic reasons about a month ago. You can't go wrong with a hat worn by Clark Griswold *and* Dan Conner.I was bidding on one on eBay a few weeks back, but lost it for $17. I didn't know at the time that these were so in-demand. There are a few on eBay for $70 or more that don't sell, but I've been watching for a month to see if another one is posted. Nothing so far. I know some people on here have posted of websites with vintage caps. I'm looking specifically for this version, not the orange-brimmed version with white outlines. Extensive Google searches have left me with nothing on this cap. The original caps were made by Sports Specialties, but Mitchell & Ness and a few others have reproduced them. SS made wool and corduroy versions. I'd take any Sports Specialties version or M&N, no preference. I'm just looking to spend $35 or less shipped. Let me know if anybody knows where to find this.

andycumbee19 Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 I found one of my most sought after caps!!! At a mall an hour from my house that I NEVER go to. A store which is apparently a sister of Lids was selling hats at 50% off. This one was already marked down to $20. It was the ONLY one they had and it just HAPPENED to be 7 1/4. A force beyond me drew me to that store. I thoroughly believe that. This cost me $10.40. Outstanding! Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The black low crown version of that hat was my whale and I found it on eBay earlier this year. Love that logo, just wish Toronto would have made a royal blue version of that cap.

Brings back memories. When they came back in style a few years ago, I stocked up again, but nothing tops the original Sports Specialties caps for me.I don't have a Bears one for you admiral, but you could go against the grain and buy my Bulls cap from that era. Or the L.A. Raiders one that I bought because I was convinced it would make me rich one day... probably should have put it out there when Straight Outta Compton was released. Although their cap inaccuracies probably hurt the market.I also have Cowboys in the original style and an assortment of black and white versions that came out on either side of 1990.

Chewbacca Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Nice to see this thread making a comeback. My whale for 2016 is the Boston Bruins' 2010 Winter Classic jersey. I want one, that jersey is absolutely beautiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they might have one more of that size. I'd help you out but I rarely go to Anaheim unless it's baseball season. For me, it's the 2003 Padres cap  http://www.ebay.com/itm/SAN-DIEGO-PADRES-NEW-ERA-MLB-VINTAGE-RETRO-PINCH-HITTER-REPLICA-CAP-HAT-NEW-/121693651308?hash=item1c5581c16c:m:mxb1dCclfWMlId3EzTOwEEA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
