Damn I’m supposed value village let it go for that price. I used to work there. And they will scrape every cent they can from their free stuff the get.
They don't know about jerseys, and jerseys are a highly counterfeit item. So they generally price them low.
Some older CCM Koho jerseys that are crested can sometimes be priced high for thrift stores, like $40. But I think that they assume anything modern is a counterfeit.
I've bought MiC jerseys before. It doesn't happen often, but if you have a local team, people who aren't collectors buy them at equipment sales for cheap and then get rid of them.
The one I worked at. I got a Mike Cammalleri Habs jersey for the 100 years. And I had to buy it for 120 bucks. As well as a Cam Neely for my uncle for the same price.
I’m a Rangers game worn collector. Looking at the jersey, this is at the very least a game/team issued jersey from the adizero era of 17-18 to 20-21. Primegreen came in 21-22 and this does not have the raised Rangers lettering on the front. Few things:
1: Steiner sticker is only good to match on the LOA Steiner used to provide. You can’t look up the number on there so don’t be concerned that you can’t. Their authentication system was terrible.
Does it have a Fanatics hologram anywhere? It would be either on the neck around the Steiner hologram or on the fight strap.
Is there any set tagging? This would be either on the fight strap or the inside hem of the jersey. The Rangers started in 14-15 stamping on the fight strap but eventually moved to hem tagging in either 18-19 or 19-20. This would provide additional information in narrowing down if it’s used and when.
Is there any game used wear on the jersey? Can also potentially match it based on that.
The barcode tagging on the collar is inventory tagging for the team. Also can't be searched or anything for authenticity but also another indicator that it's at the least issued or worn. Not that you needed much more based on everything else.
Regardless, insane find. I’m never this lucky so congrats!
EDIT - Steiner was acquired by Fanatics after the 2019 season and Strome was acquired late 2018. Fanatics tagged all of the Steiner inventory after they acquired them that summer. So you’re looking at a jersey from the 18-19 season.
So on a pretty detailed inspection I found several rips on the lower arms that seem to have been patched up. As well as some marks that could be pucks marks. I'll attach some pictures below. No further identification anywhere else besides the barcode and shiny Steiner sticker. No fanatics hologram.
It looks like his set 1 home jersey from the 18-19 season. I've included a few links to pictures dated 11/21 v. NYI, 11/24 v. WSH, and 11/26 v. OTT. May have to zoom and blow them up to see.
You’re welcome. If you’re looking to peg a value on it, I’d say anywhere from $300 - $400 USD is fair. LOA missing kind of stinks but it’s negated by the fact that it’s photomatched. Strome was a solid player for the Rangers but regular game worn home/road jerseys are very common for non star/fan favorites which has watered down the market in that sense. Again, an insane steal though which would never happen to me in a million years lol
Is there not a set stamp on either the fight strap or the jersey hem?
All team issued or game worn Adidas Rangers jerseys should have one or the other.
I tend to find them in the more affluent neighbourhood thrift stores in Edmonton where I live. This isn't really my size and I'm going to try and trade/sell as I'm not a Rangers fan.
Even if it is not a gamer, or the authenticity was removed or voided somehow, it's still a MiC jersey for almost nothing. At worst, it's a $200 CAD jersey for less than $15. That's basically the bottom of the barrel for what a crested MiC might sell for.
I tried the same thing unfortunately. The white tag is heatpressed on so I'm still assuming it's legit? Found this on their website. Regardless I'm happy. Not a Rangers fan at all so I'll probably try to sell/trade it here sooner than later.
Ill ask a question on the rangers game used jersey facebook page and see if the coa numbers should still work. Fanatics/steiner/sportsmemorabilia might have changed their data base and the number might not come up.
If theres no game set tagging inside its possible its not game USED but is team ISSUED
I have a strome gamer but im at work and cant check the coa to see if it still works
A Christmas miracle!! And you found this in Edmonton??? Ryan Strome is my fav player ever, would love to get my hands on a gamer one day. Living vicariously through your luck :DD
Haha that's a good question, the reason is not anything crazy I'm afraid. I'm not a lifelong hockey fan, only really got into the sport before the pandemic. Although I knew I was gonna support my hometown team I poked around other teams/players just to get a feel of the league, history, rivalries, etc. I did this by listening to tons of podcasts, interviews, etc from players all across the league. Well, 100s of different players' interviews later I chanced upon a Ryan Strome podcast & I was blown away at how mature & well-spoken this totally random guy was. I know to most fans he's forgettably mediocre/generic, but off the ice he's the most intelligent & charismatic player I've ever heard (and I've heard lots of them!). I won't even be sad when he retires bc I fully believe that he's going to go on to become a legendary GM. Kinda funny actually, Kyrie Irving recently said he wanted to interview all the top 5 picks of the 2011 major sports drafts & everyone on social media was roasting the concept of Ryan Strome talking to all these legends... if the interview happens I know lots of people will be surprised. So yeah, maybe a silly reason but heart & soul guys deserve some love too :D
That’s awesome actually! I was extra curious because I grew up around the corner from the Strome family and was in the same grade as Matt (youngest brother) from 6th grade until end of high school. It’s always interesting to me when a conversation about the Strome’s come up, since I am quite familiar with the family. Also know the McLeod brothers (Mikey and Ryan) as I went to school with them as well.
Oh man, how cool! Yeah I have by proxy consumed so much media on Dylan & Matt as well. The whole family seems like they do it the right way, mom & dad too. Honestly the funniest part about the Strome & McLeod boys is how there are only 4 unique names between the 6 of them lol. If you have any neat stories to share I would genuinely love to hear them! I mean, what on earth was in the water in your hometown?? :D
yea theres an absolute hero up in the comments who found out when he wore it and which games. should be worth 300% USD at least he was saying, absolutely blown away.
I love lore w jerseys but im afraid in this case, id rather not know. There’s only a few reasons something very valuable ends up at goodwill and they’re never “because I felt like giving away something expensive.”
If I had to speculate, owner either died and had no friends to advocate, or this is petty revenge from a relationship gone south.
You could also be the luckiest person on earth. I’d going to choose to believe that.
honestly from now on if I get rid of a jersey im taking it to a thrift store. idc if I lose money because I know someone who doesn't always have the chance to buy at $150+ jersey will be happy.
there's about 7 of them in Edmonton! Just have to get lucky I guess, They have been around for eveerrrr and i go in a couple times a year looking for jerseys. today was my day i guess
Thats insane. I dream of finding a thrift store gem one day.
Yeah I wish I could but the jobless market place rat in my area sucks up all the jerseys
That's the worst. Happens where I live too on marketplace. Guy buys all the Oilers vintage jerseys and then resells them for more on marketplace.
We need to capture him and feed him soggy fruit loops until he says he'll stop.
Only one thing to do. Quit your job and move into a tent outside your thrift shop.

My thoughts exactly.
Hahahaha I'm sorry! 🤣🤣
Just messing with ya xD
Congrats!
I was waiting for this to pop up never gets old 😂
DIMPLES FOR $12? wow congrats!
Ok that's crazy
This is fucking insaaaane.
Does it have tagging at the inside bottom of the jersey?
That is one hell of a steal
Holy shit. That’s unreal.

This is honestly amazing and impressive thank-you so much. I'm blown away

Man, you rock. LGR.
Is there not a set stamp on either the fight strap or the jersey hem? All team issued or game worn Adidas Rangers jerseys should have one or the other.
As a rangers collector too, thanks for this info. This will help me in the future if im looking to buy something pre fanatics.
wowowow
unreal
I've still haven't found a jersey at a thrift (at least in my size)
I tend to find them in the more affluent neighbourhood thrift stores in Edmonton where I live. This isn't really my size and I'm going to try and trade/sell as I'm not a Rangers fan.
Wow that’s crazy 11 bucks! That’s awesome.. and it’s game worn. Lucky. I’m definitely jealous…
ROBBERY! Great find!!
hmmm I wear 56 and that is xxl
[deleted]
It’s tagged as a gamer
Ah, I zoomed in on the little foil sticker and saw! I’ll delete my prior comment.
Same and yeah that’s not an L
I’m not even a rangers fan by any means and I’d totally snag one
Where the F are you guys thrifiting at? All the ones near me are hot garbage
This is in Edmonton!
unless I'm doing something wrong the numbers above the sticker come up invalid
https://www.steinersports.com/authenticity
Even if it is not a gamer, or the authenticity was removed or voided somehow, it's still a MiC jersey for almost nothing. At worst, it's a $200 CAD jersey for less than $15. That's basically the bottom of the barrel for what a crested MiC might sell for.

Ya hopefully someone will see it soon and have an answer

Unreal. What a find!
Amazing find

A Christmas miracle!! And you found this in Edmonton??? Ryan Strome is my fav player ever, would love to get my hands on a gamer one day. Living vicariously through your luck :DD
That seems like a very obscure player to have as your favourite player of all time. Any specific reason why?
Haha that's a good question, the reason is not anything crazy I'm afraid. I'm not a lifelong hockey fan, only really got into the sport before the pandemic.

game worn? cmon ?
WTF
great find
It has to be worth over $200
yea theres an absolute hero up in the comments who found out when he wore it and which games. should be worth 300% USD at least he was saying, absolutely blown away.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone post a GAMER from a thrift store woooow.
I couldn't believe it either man. I want to know the story of this Jersey and how it got to Edmonton and donated to this store
I love lore w jerseys but im afraid in this case, id rather not know. There’s only a few reasons something very valuable ends up at goodwill and they’re never “because I felt like giving away something expensive.” If I had to speculate, owner either died and had no friends to advocate, or this is petty revenge from a relationship gone south.

I haven't ever seen that store where I am. But sure wish they expanded here.
there's about 7 of them in Edmonton! Just have to get lucky I guess, They have been around for eveerrrr and i go in a couple times a year looking for jerseys. today was my day i guess
Congrats. I'm nowhere close to Edmonton. Mostly Goodwill and Salvation Army here.
My wife frequents value village, I go with her once a week this is such a cool find!!
Insane thrift store find 😳
Someone’s wife just “accidentally” gave that away in the donations bag
RIP it went to a good home though
11$!!!
I wonder why thrift store owners/workers can't just Google how much those are worth and increase the price somewhat 😆
Damn, if you did not post pictures of this from within the store with tags, I would not have believed it
Solid find, congrats!
dear lord, an MIC at a thrift store
