Not too long ago the 10th annual MeiGray Expo took place and for the tenth straight year…I didn’t attend. I always come up with reasons for not going from it’s during my summer vacation, to how expensive it is to fly into Newark for just one day, to now having two young girls at home, to how I would ship the jerseys I’d want to share there, and the list goes on and on. I would love to go to one of the expos in the future. It looks like a blast. This year I started to think about what I’d bring with me to show off at my table if I did make it out there.
So without further ado, and in order of age (beginning with the oldest), here are the jerseys I would showcase at my MeiGray Expo table. Thanks for stopping by. Let’s scroll, shall we?

Thanks for stopping by Scott. I appreciate it! I love my Lappys as well. The wear on them represents how he played very well. I’ve always been curious about how that huge rip in the sleeve of the white jersey happened. Skate? Fight? Tough to predict, but fun to look at over and over.
