Wallets with game used Michigan uniform inside
I was reading Uni-Watch this morning and they wrote about these wallets that have pieces of game used uniforms inside. Sure enough, they have a Michigan collection. You can get a piece of football or basketball uniform. The site also has cuff links with game worn materials. Pretty cool stuff, but as you'd expect, very expesnive.

Interesting, but who would pay $150-$200 for that stuff..
February 6th, 2017 at 11:13 AM ^
good question...hopefully theyre at least avoiding armpit, crotch, etc uniform pieces
February 6th, 2017 at 11:40 AM ^
some people would pay extra for that.
February 6th, 2017 at 11:13 AM ^
After saving all year.
February 6th, 2017 at 11:14 AM ^
WD, where you at?
February 6th, 2017 at 11:34 AM ^
Here.
EDIT: Oops, now everyone knows MJ7=WD

Probably making his own bigger and better version using old game worn jerseys he stole from a random 2009 spring game or something.
I imagine it went something like this...
February 6th, 2017 at 11:34 AM ^
It's kind of a "gift of the Magi" situation--you pay all that money for the wallet, but then you have nothing left to put in it.
February 6th, 2017 at 11:59 AM ^
Oh, Henry...
February 6th, 2017 at 12:57 PM ^
Nicely done!
February 6th, 2017 at 11:41 AM ^
Apparently, quite a few...at least with regard to the wallet with the football jersey insert. According to the website, those are sold out. Crazy.
February 6th, 2017 at 11:54 AM ^
You mean besides WD right?
February 6th, 2017 at 12:05 PM ^
Who would pay for this?
I'll give you one good guess.
February 6th, 2017 at 7:47 PM ^
The same business people that pay $4000 for a watch all day long.
February 6th, 2017 at 11:13 AM ^
They sell those at Rock Paper Scissors downtown, which is owned by Mattison's daughter I believe.
February 6th, 2017 at 11:14 AM ^
What if you dropped that ridiculous amount of coin for one of these, and you got an MSU away bumblebee uniform? That would be, in my eyes, unsatisfying.
February 6th, 2017 at 11:17 AM ^
GRIII authentic tear-away addidas jersey from the Minnesota game?
February 6th, 2017 at 11:22 AM ^
I think I'd be more interested if it were on the outside.
February 6th, 2017 at 11:22 AM ^
BTW, how does one do this with, say, a #12 New England Patriots game-worn jersey? Asking for a friend, needs to move fast, no cops, thanks in advance.
February 6th, 2017 at 9:30 PM ^
Along with Bob Kraft's former Superbowl ring. Putin has an amazing mind for future value and he typically obtains what he wants.
February 6th, 2017 at 11:23 AM ^
Tri-fold or bust
February 6th, 2017 at 11:24 AM ^
orders $150 wallet. comes with just blue mesh insides, no numbers or letters. smells. yay.
February 6th, 2017 at 11:27 AM ^
It will fall apart....do not want
February 6th, 2017 at 11:30 AM ^
That's weird.
February 6th, 2017 at 11:33 AM ^
Unfortunately the wallet itself looks pretty cheap.
February 6th, 2017 at 11:33 AM ^
The wallets don't do a lot for me, but the cuff links are all pretty cool. That's more than I can see myself paying, but can see it given that you could have them your entire life. (And I wear a suit often, so they'd get use.)
February 6th, 2017 at 11:38 AM ^
It's my birthday Wednesday, anybody feeling generous? :)
February 6th, 2017 at 11:39 AM ^
I'll just take an actual jersey instead lol
February 6th, 2017 at 11:52 AM ^
Hah, what is this, 1990.
Everybody has phone clip card carrying devices now. I didn't even know they made wallets anymore.
February 6th, 2017 at 12:16 PM ^
Peer outside of your group of friends some time, who knows what you will find.
February 6th, 2017 at 12:23 PM ^
am sometimes very surprised what you have to attach an /s to these days.
It may not have been a very good joke, fair, but I didn't for a second think it would be taken seriously.
February 6th, 2017 at 12:30 PM ^
You should always include /s. It's very hard to read sarcasm in text unless it's really on the nose.
February 6th, 2017 at 12:37 PM ^
I refuse to do that, because including it ruins good sarcasm. I guess if it is taken seriously without an /s I will just assume that it was not very good sarcasm and do better next time.
February 6th, 2017 at 1:01 PM ^
People who use "/s" are either idiots or assume others. And sarcasm is actually much funnier when people don't get it and over react.
February 6th, 2017 at 4:05 PM ^
NO! Don't dumb it down. You can't ruin the best sarcasm, by making it clearly visible to the least common denominator.
February 6th, 2017 at 9:25 PM ^
Are you being sarcastic?
February 6th, 2017 at 1:00 PM ^
Fair enough, my bad.
February 6th, 2017 at 12:05 PM ^
Why didn't they just sell the game used uniform? That would be something I'd want over the wallet.
February 6th, 2017 at 2:08 PM ^
Because the NCAA is careful not to allow any profit off a player's likeness. If you sell a UTL Adidas jersey that's #16 Denard's lawyer might argue Denard is entitled to part of the proceeds of that sale assuming the jersey can be authenticated. However cut that jersey up into wallet pieces and lose track of which jersey's were used it sure isn't the player's likeness making you buy.
I learned this from an authenticator I asked about my Michigan helmet cufflinks.
February 6th, 2017 at 8:43 PM ^
chop up that game jersey into 50 pieces, markup the $25 wallet $125 for another $6250, a lot more money than selling one jersey
February 6th, 2017 at 12:09 PM ^
I've got coasters with turf from the late 80's, early 90's. Nice momentous from some great years.
February 6th, 2017 at 1:17 PM ^
set of four, authentic Michigan field turf. If anyone wants to offer me a large amount of money I may sell.
February 6th, 2017 at 12:16 PM ^
for a used jersey full of wallet-shaped holes?
Sounds more in my price range.
February 6th, 2017 at 12:19 PM ^
But, $150.00. Can they guarantee me it's a Tom Brady jersey? WTF.
February 6th, 2017 at 12:38 PM ^
My wife bought one of these for me as a gift a few years back. I was actually really pleased with it as a wallet (as opposed to just memorabilia) - it was good quality, well-made, great size, stayed very flat even when full, etc. And I appreciated the subtlety of the jersey on the inside. It was a nice flash of M every time I went to take out cash or a card, but not super in your face.
Sadly, it was stolen last year in a mugging, and now the football jersey ones are indefinitely out of stock so I can't even replace it. Still kinda bummed.
February 6th, 2017 at 1:14 PM ^
I've heard there is a pretty strong resale market in Columbus for game-worn OSU jerseys and other authentic memorabilia.
February 6th, 2017 at 3:47 PM ^
The OSU wallet collection is made from the actual tattooed skin of former players who traded tats for cash. Or so they say.
February 6th, 2017 at 2:08 PM ^
I could use a wallet with some cash inside. I'm broke, son!
February 6th, 2017 at 2:10 PM ^
the good thing about our basketball jerseys is that they would be clean, just like new...
love you!
February 6th, 2017 at 3:06 PM ^
note to self: WD is also Blue and Joe
