So I under-estimated how jacked up the prices would be for Team Canada men's hockey tickets and with the funds I saved up for that I decided I would use to spoil myself.

I read the thread that DXFlyers posted last week about Meigray having a facebook sale on their Vancouver Canucks jerseys that tied in with some Olympic promotion.

After talking back and forth with a few members, and after Julian (Fuel 77) semi convinced me that the prices are only going to go up and this is probably the cheapest I'll see any Meigray jerseys in a long time I decided to pick one up of Alex Edler.

Enjoy the pics...oh and I believe I've photomatched the jersey to a game as well. February 19, 2009 when the Vancouver Canucks took on the Ottawa Senators. Canucks won 5-2 that game :D

See it on this pic? Near the right chest/shoulder area

Here's the best pic I can find of Edler during that February 19 game

Looks like a match to me, but I'm sure there are detectives out there that can help me. Any help/confirmation would be most appreciative.

Overall, I'm MUCH happier about the additional "game wear" that this jersey has than what I saw in pictures on the meigray site. I can definitely see myself buying more gamers.

Anyone know if Meigray offers a photo matching and game dating? I've heard conflicting stories...

Thanks for the comments all!

Yes they do. I did one for my Sakic GU jersey. I believe it has to say photomatched in the description of the Jersey. Also it is $$ paid 150.00 for the Photomatch. I could only Justify it because the jersey was 5,000 bucks. They said it was so much because they had to buy it from Getty and then print it.. Here is what they look like

Hope that helps.
My advice is to find someone that can help you photomatch it and get a copy. I will give it look.

That looks awesome Jeff - glad to see that you got one - I am sure that will be a nice centerpiece for quite some time!
 
Great pickup Jeff. Sorry to hear you're not gonna check out a Team Canada game, but well, you know what? I'm sure the Olympics will be in the US again at some point in our lives, and what it cost you to get 1 game's tickets here might pay for an entire road trip to that Olympics.

As for matching games up, Meigrey keeps public population reports of when the jerseys were used, broken down by player, set and dates, easily searchable by the serial number on the game worn tag. Your jersey was used 11/29/08 - 2/24/09 for 17 games. Hope that helps you find more photomatches :)
