This Is the best & most favorite thing that I have ever gotten In all of my days of sports collecting. If you put out a jersey from every athlete In whatever sport, who's would you take ? Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, Wilt Chamberlain, Bill Russell etc etc ... I would probably & most likely pick an orange Phoenix Suns Steve Nash jersey.


I sold off everything to get this. My entire collection. MeiGray Is the best & most trusted place to get game worn items. Straight from the NBA. Basically, you pay a lot more for something to have peace of mind. Which Is a great thing to have when you're a collector.


I'm a huge Grant Hill fan, If the user name doesn't point to that. But I've said for years now, that Steve Nash Is personally my favorite athlete to watch play basketball. We all have our favorites. I just think Steve Nash Is awesome. I think this new Lakers team will be amazing to watch. OKC has a better TEAM In the West. And Miami will probably win again. But LA will be a beautiful thing to watch at times this coming season. Kobe Is gonna love It. Howard will be happy, and bring ALL of his drama. And Nash will finally have guys that can create something for themselves after they get the ball passed to them. ... Step one ? Fire Mike Brown ! (which they won't do) And hire Jerry Sloan OR get Phil Jackson back ... This team could get very strong If they do It right. Older players, so do It quickly.


My collection has always only been a couple of things. I've always liked the idea of owning just a few things worth money. I don't need TONS of things piled up. I think as a collector, just get those few things that you would want more than anything else. Depending on the price of course. I collected the NBA cards, then got Into game worn jerseys because I just don't see anything better than getting the actual game worn jersey. ... I won the 2009-10 Grant Hill Los Suns jersey from Meigray about a year ago. I did not get the Los Suns Nash jersey. I was SO dissapointed. Then lost many, many other chances to get a game worn Nash Item that I wanted. Everything was SO expensive. It was basically haunting me & my collecting for a solid year. I felt like I would never be able to get a real game worn Nash Item for years & years (from somewhere I can trust). So, I recently had a pretty good shot at getting this jersey & I went all In for It. My thinking was ... how much longer will MeiGray sell off Steve Nash jerseys after he left Phoenix ? How many do they have left ? What are the odds of me actually winning or buying a real orange PHX jersey ? ... So, I sold off everything. And was lucky enough to get It ! ... Collecting since 1994, and this Is the nicest thing I've ever gotten to own.


Some stats from the game he wore the jersey In ...
* 2011-12 Season. March 23rd, 2012. 113-111.
* After this Win @ Indiana, Phoenix was 24 & 24.
* After this Win, Nash only played 18 more games with Phoenix before he left for LA.
* Nash played 34 minutes, 12 points, 17 assists, 3 rebounds & 2 steals. (Nash's assist high Is 22).
* Phoenix only wore their orange jerseys 2 other times before the season ended. (March 25th 2012 @ Cavs. Win. & April 24th 2012 @ Utah. Loss.)
* At that time, Nash was the league leader In assists, with 11 per game.
* A huge bonus for me, that Phoenix won this game. Wasn't a very good season for them over all. But I was still a huge Suns fan because of Grant & Nash.

* It's pretty cool having so much documentation from the game that he wore the jersey In. Check out all 17 assists from that game In the You Tube video above ! ^


Thanks for reading & for any comments fella's. Maybe more of you will sell your cards and buy from MeiGray like I did ... Like I said, I sold off my entire collection. Well, except for my Jordan/Malone Tag card. ;) ... Couldn't let that go ! :thumbsup:
 
Well he might be a bit over-the-hill, but at least it's not a manufactured patch. Hope you haven't gotten yourself into financial depp. And... I don't know how to be clever using the name allen... I just hope it was worth it!
Definitely looks nice though.

Yes thank you so much for being clever with everything that I sold. :rofl: ... I love It. Zero regrets. It's the best thing I could have gotten. And that's what this hobby Is about.
