I got a Majestic Minnesota Twins home alternate Doug Mientkiewicz replica jersey for $15 at Savers. It's only got one color name and number on the back, and no number on the front, but everything is sewn on and the last one of these I found sold for over $75 on ebay so we'll see how this one does next week.

A classic 1980s Dallas Mavericks Starter satin jacket, green body, blue trim, blue "Mavericks" lettering on the front. Ro Blackmon's got the same script going on in the pic below:

Not even a Mavs fan in the least, but you know I love some vintage NBA goodness. And in my size, to boot! $20. A steal. And so much more beautiful than their current (bland) set.

Still, what I absolutely want and cannot wait to get my hands on is a powder blue 80s Sacramento Kings starter satin jacket, size small (with crown on ball logo). I've seen a few on Ebay, never in my size.

anybody know of any good thrift shops in the cleveland/suburban area surrounding cleveland? i'm trying to get my hands on some cheap throw backs for some gags and possible gifts and i wondered if anybody has had any success in any shops in this area.

Passed on a Nike USC football jersey earlier tonight because I already had the exact jersey. I also found a 49ers satin jacket, and a California Angels wind breaker. Would have picked up the jackets except they were both way too small to fit.

Within the past month I've found both home and away first-gen Coyotes jerseys. They're so hideous that they're awesome.

Now I just need the desert motif third.

I used to have that jersey (the old Coyotes 3rd), but ended up throwing it away when it got far too big.

I got one of these for $15....not a CCM Vintage collection, but an old polyester CCM from the 80s/90s. It's in decent shape....an XL, but fits like a medium, large at best. It's probably best-suited for wall mounting, unless I shrink myself a bit.

Here in Chicago, there's a store called Ragstock in the Wrigleyville neighborhood that has a section dedicated to jerseys. Unfortunately, they're generally softball jerseys people use in their personal leagues or whatever. However, I occasionally spot a good jersey or two - there was an all blue Hideo Nomo Dodgers jersey there for $5 recently. This thread's inspired me to go check it out again tomorrow!

I workin in Framingham, MA, about 25 miles outside Boston and I was checking out a Salvation Army for some halloween costume ideas in early October. Right as I walked in was a PERFECTLY good Ramirez Red Sox authentic away jersey for $6.99.

I know all Sox fans hate him now (including me) but he is a legend and a future hall of famer so i figured stealing a jersey that was once sold for over $150 for 7 bucks wasnt a bad idea.

Good call on Ragstock! I got a Jets Boomer Esiason jersey there with the NFL 75th Anniversary Jersey. It's also where I go to get my sweater for me friends "Ugly Christmas Sweater Party."
