Both pretty awesome looking hats! I like the 76'ers one myself! The Jets logo is cool too though!

Today's winnings.

I found one of these a week ago and left it because I didn't think they were worth anything. Turns out in new condition, they are worth about $15. I got the green one (Mankind). It's unopened with the card inside. I want to sell it for $10.

I also found a Red Baron (pizza company) football that has 5 autographs on it. They are somewhat faded, but for $.50, I can throw it on a garage sale for $4-$5.

Alright guys...here I am...looking like a clown in the new Starter Jacket I just bought. I looked on eBay to see how much they're selling for any a lot of them sell around $35-$50 and then there's some with a BIN of $99 that were purchased. It didn't look like a BO was used on those but I guess I could be wrong. There's a patch on each one of the arms (National League & Rockies Logo) and most of the ones on eBay only have the Rockies logo patch. What do you think I should list this for?

 

[TBTwinsFan]

I'd say $95 OBO and fish for some offers.

Came accross this today. Is it worth picking up for $20? Guy said he bought it in the 80's in Chicago and it has been stored for years.

I would assume Bulls are one of the more popular teams. I'd get it for sure.

Got a question for all of you who have dealt with Starter Jackets in the past. I picked up the Bulls jacket from above this afternoon. I contacted the guy and he said someone else was mailing him $35 for the jacket to be shipped to them. I offered the guy $35 cash and I would pick it up and he wouldn't have to worry about paying for shipping. The guy took it.

The guy who had the jacket was a smoker and it smells of smoke. Now my question is, Is it worth it to have the jacket cleaned at a cleaners? The jacket doesn't have any problems other than someone had written something in marker on the tag on the inside left part of it. Will the marker on that tag affect the value that much? Any input would be great.

I would put it in a plastic bag with a couple of used dryer sheets if you have them. And then seal the bag for a few days and see if that works. If not I would then, try it again but this time spray Fabreeze something but not the jacket and sealed the bag again.

I have read that if you wash it with white vineger that it will take the smoke smell out yet I have not tried this on any of mine. look it up first
