With Vitale cards starting to slow down.....ive been able to pick up some more acquisitions for my ever-growing game worn collection.

The first is one of the coolest hockey names...ever. I have been wanting to add one with this patch but havent been able to find many.

The Penguins wore the All-Star patch during the 1989-90 season and had ordered a new set of home and road jerseys for the playoffs. However, the shirts went unused after the team narrowly missed the playoffs that year. The Pens then began the 1990-91 season wearing those left-over shirts with the All-Star patch. After the Pens wore the shirts throughout the preseason and for the first 10 games of the regular season, the Chicago Blackhawks filed a formal complaint with the league, since they were hosting the 42nd NHL All-Star game that was to take place that year. The league sided with the Blackhawks, and the Pens were forced to switch to a new set of jerseys without the patch.

1990-91 Zarley Zalapski ROAD

This next jersey is one I wanted ever since I saw it. It is a pretty cool collector piece. Growing up I was a big Marty McSorley fan and enjoyed watching his bouts.....
McSorleys orig number was #4....and it was removed (damaging the jsy) and changed to #44 for Rob Brown.

1987-88 Rob Brown ROAD (Rookie & Recycled 83-84 Marty McSorley -2nd NHL yr)



I was able to get a copy of the picture of McSorley wearing it a while back and was even luckier to get him to sign it.

SICK!!! SICK!!! Amazing jerseys, Hugh! I love the story behind the McSorley... and, if I recall correctly, didn't Marty offer you that one himself? For a stupidly high price? Haha! I have always liked Rob Brown, and think that he was pretty exciting to see beside Mario. Congrats on the brilliant jerseys!

Marty actually offered me his rc pens jsy for the ridiculous price. He co tacted me after signing that pic. I wish I could have secured it...but it was just too high.

[phildo37]

How much was he asking?
