Devils fans will be happy to know that not only did we authenticate and pick up last Saturday the Third Annual Retro Set that is currently up for auction, but we also grabbed the Scott Niedermayer Set that the Devils wore the night they retired his number 27. Stay tuned for details ... Drew Wojciechowski, who directs our MGG-Devils Program, had the pleasure of waiting in the laundry room for the basket of sweaty garments to roll in for inventory, authentication, and packing ... When MGG grabs a set of special jerseys directly after a game, we do not wash them. You'd be surprised how many collectors prefer it that way!!!
And we're heading back to Newark tomorrow to pick up another batch of game-used equipment: Sticks, skates and gloves from the current season ...
It isn't often that we acquire a jersey of a player whose name has never hit our database ... but we have just authenticated a road blue WHA Birmingham Bulls jersey from 1977-78 worn by that famed goon and legendary wildman, Steve Durbano. The jersey was previously owned by a collector who told us he bought it in the late '70s from the team. Durbano jerseys are so hard to find because fighter collectors loved him, and this one shows serious fighter use. It'll hit the website if it makes it past the request list ...
We're in Philly Saturday for Fan Appreciation Night. If you're going to the game, good luck becoming one of the 20 fans who wins a gamer right off a Flyer's back. I'll be handing out the LOAs that go with the jerseys ...
