The Price is Right! - Islanders Game-Worn Jersey Edition

So I was skimming through the MeiGray Group's Islanders game-word jersey selection the other day. It is pretty interesting, and the best place to pick up that Josh Bailey Game Worn Jersey you've had your eye on. But for every Bailey, Nielsen or Martinek there are a whole bunch of "Who? Who is that and when did he play for the Isles?" Many of these are from Preseason, not the regular season, and therefore many never actually saw time with the Isles. But there are some interesting ones...
Now, if you are interested, we have a decent short term distraction from the mess of the Isles season. So we're going to play "The Price is Right" and see if you can match up the asking price of each jersey.
So the price range here is $75.00 to $1750.00. You assign the prices in the comments and I'll respond whether you're right, or need to go lower or higher.
Start off with a nice offering, from the 2008-2009 season a Josh Bailey 3rd Jersey (Throwback) from his rookie year. NHL game worn, damage to one of the elbows sewn up.
Second offering: A Gordie Dwyer Home (Blue) jersey from the 2008-2009 preseason. Dwyer was released before the season started and is currently out of work after fighting his way through Sweden's third tier.
Third offering: Shawn Bates, 3rd season set Away (White) from the 2006-2007. While game issued, Bates didn't play the second half of the season due to injury, so not actually game worn.
Fourth offering: Johan Halvardsson, Home (Blues) from the 2006-2007 preseason. Halvardsson, the Swedish incarnation of Brendan Witt, came over hoping to break through on a blueline that featured greats like MA Bergeron, Allan Rourke and Drew Fata. Instead so severely injured his knee in his 8th game with Bridgeport that he wound up retiring from it. Worn, but only in preseason.
Fifth offering: "Alexei" Poulin, training camp from 2008-2009. Actually Kevin Poulin, MeiGray screwed up the first name on the site. Not even preseason game worn.
Sixth offering: Sean Bergenheim 3rd (Blue Throwback) from 2008-2009. Game worn.
Seventh offering: Todd Simpson 3rd (Orange Nightmares) from 2006-2007. Released by the Islanders after training camp, played in Germany that year. Not game worn.
Eighth offering: Maxime Ouellet Away (White) 2007-2008. Another guy released before the season started. This was preseason only.
Ninth Offering: Andy Hilbert RBK Edge Practice Jersey from 2007-2008. Really?
Tenth and final offering: Gino Odjick, 2nd set home (white) from the 1999-2000 season. Game worn, but by Gino Odjick... So does that really count?
MeiGray is fun to check out, especially to see guys like Steve Reiger, Jason Guerriero and Bryan Rodney were once in fact a part of this organization.

Bailey's rookie-year retro has to be the $1750 one
I’m guessing Odjick is around $1500 or so. That guy has disciples.
Lighthouse Hockey: You say that like Streit and Okposo and MacDonald were important.
Dominik, come on down! (For the Bailey).
The Odjick is lower.

I didn't even cheat!
Okay, if we’re allowed second guesses I’ll say $950 on the Gino.

Closer on the Odjick, but still lower. It’s 750.

Holy Crap...
Really… $1750… for a game worn jersey. I bet TMC wouldn’t even pay that much for Doug Weight’s “game worn” boxers… (I had to delete the rest of this in fear that she might yell at her computer screen when she read it.)
I hope whoever bought that isn’t complaining about ticket prices.
Jack's not nimble, Jack's not quick, but Jack can get another top five pick!
Talk to me if Doug was still in em.
And not married.
Let Us Go, Islanders! (Ever notice how strange that sounds without the contraction?)

This is why I love this site. (Alright, there’s many reasons, but still…)
Lighthouse Hockey: No Streit, no Okposo, no MacDonald. Not that we particularly care.
What about $1750 for a doug chip n dales strip dance w/lap dance?
What do you need for that price to work? lol.
Go isles or Go home.
Ouellet!
I still can’t believe that guy was in camp. What a great descent he had, per Wikipedia:
Ouellet was drafted by the Philadelphia Flyers in the first round, 22nd overall at the 1999 NHL Entry Draft. He later was traded with a first, second, and third round draft choice in 2002 NHL Entry Draft to the Washington Capitals for Adam Oates. On December 2, 2005, the Washington Capitals traded Ouellet to the Canucks in exchange for a fifth round selection in the 2006 NHL Entry Draft(Maxime Lacroix)
After not playing to start the 2006–07 season, in late December, 2006, Ouellet was signed by the Portland Pirates to goaltend alongside Dov Grumet-Morris. One week later in January 2007, he left Portland without playing a game and was reportedly trying to sign with a European team. In January 2007, Ouellet signed to a contract with the German hockey club Kassel Huskies. The season ended without Ouellet playing a single game of hockey.
Ouellet was signed by the New York Islanders to a minor-league contract with the Bridgeport Sound Tigers on July 26, 2007. After failing to make the team, he signed a contract on November 11, 2007 with the Salzburg Red Bulls of the Erste Bank Eishockey Liga in Austria.1

I think he’s now playing in Norway, I could be wrong though.

1999 Entry Draft, that’s where all the problems start

'ORANGE NIGHTMARE'?????
I know that there were quite a few of us who LOVED that jersey, thank you very much!
You are a twisted man then, enjoying others' nightmares
I was open to the concept. And making the orange darker to make it less crazy. The diagonal blue cut-ins though were too much for me, way to roller- or Nike-influenced.
Lighthouse Hockey: No Streit, no Okposo, no MacDonald. Not that we particularly care.
Wait, isn’t he referring to the Orange Practice Jerseys for Halloween?

I think the Todd Simpson one (Todd Simpson?!)
is a reference to the orange third jersey from before the RBK “Piping R Us” shift.

You are correct sir!

Johan Halvardsson
This has got to be the $75 one, no?
Lighthouse Hockey: No Streit, no Okposo, no MacDonald. Not that we particularly care.
No
The Hilbert is the 75 (I still don’t know how you can determine it was Hilbert’s since there is no name or # on the back)
The Halvardsson is 195, as are all the training camp duds from the 2007-2008 season. I was honestly thinking about getting it around the time I bought the MacDonald because it is an authentic and not that much more expensive than the customized replica I bought.

Seriously
I was honestly thinking about getting it around the time I bought the MacDonald because it is an authentic and not that much more expensive than the customized replica I bought.
I think that way about the crap RBK passes off as replicas today. “Maybe I should wait until a game-used Flood hits the market.”
Lighthouse Hockey: No Streit, no Okposo, no MacDonald. Not that we particularly care.
The Price is High?
Hilbert practice jersey 75.00. Can’t you buy a new one at Shopnhl.com for like $79???
Gino-550
Simpson 350
Bates 375
Poulin-800 hey, it’s an error jersey. Should be worth a fortune some day!!!!!
Halvardsson, Ouellet, and Dwyer….They pay me 200 each to take them.
In the past when I’ve looked at MeiGray, they are so expensive, I actually wonder how they stay in business……
Gino, higher. See the response to Dom’s second guess
Bates, Simpson and Halvardsson are all $195
Poulin, Ouellet and Dwyer’s are $250

I wonder how many Poulins name their kid Alexei, anyway? That’s gotta be rare.

Score?
If I wear an Islanders game-worn jersey will that mean that I’ll score infrequently?

lol. Depends what game worn jersey.
You got a bossy on, you’ll be scoring more then a $5 hooker.
Go isles or Go home.
Winner Winner, Chicken Dinner

Can I get a Bailey jersey...
…from a game he’s taken more than one shot on goal in?
Does one exist?
When it's Hockey Night on The Island, it's Hockey Night in Hartford!
So Dave
how does it feel to Jinx Bailey?

Exactly how immense are this site’s powers? And how the hell do we harness them to do good instead of evil?

I know, Dom...
…I’m scared too!
I think I just got Bailey demoted!

1979-80

May 24, 1980: Tonelli to Nystrom. At long last, the steady build of the New York Islanders from expansion doormat to surprise semifinalist to annual contender reaches the promised land: Buoyed by a late season trade for Butch Goring that gave the team the depth up the middle GM Bill Torrey had been seeking, the Islanders knock off the Philadelphia Flyers in six games.
The victory justified the faith in coach Al Arbour who guided them from their second season to their first Stanley Cup seven seasons later. The Islanders would not be the first expansion team to win the Stanley Cup, but they would be the only one capable of a dynasty.
1980-81

May 21, 1981: This time it was much easier. After falling to "only" 91 points in the 1979-80 season, the Islanders returned to their division title tradition, piling up 110 points -- a whole 13 points over second-place Philadelphia.
Between the quarterfinals (where they beat the upstart Oilers in six games) and the finals, the Islanders reeled off eight consecutive wins -- with a four-game sweep of archrival Rangers in between. As they defeated the Minnesota North Stars in five games for their second Cup, their goal difference in the final was a combined +10.
1981-82

May 16, 1982: Another year, another landslide title. The Islanders won the Patrick Division by a whopping 26 points over the second-place Rangers, and were seven points clear of their nearest competition for the President's Trophy, the still-not-quite-ripe Edmonton Oilers.
A first-round scare against the Pittsburgh Penguins turned in the Isles' favor thanks to John Tonelli's heroics, and a true dynasty was on its way: Past the Rangers in six games, then an eight-game sweep of the Quebec Nordiques and Vancouver Canucks to run away with the Stanley Cup.
1982-83

May 17, 1983: Not so fast, whipper-snappers. The Edmonton Oilers' steadily rising challenge for league supremacy took them all the way to the finals for the first time, where the New York Islanders summarily dispatched them in a four-game sweep. For the Islanders, the Dynasty was secured. For the Oilers, it was a powerful lesson in where talent ends and the demands of playoff hockey begin.
Four years, four Cups, 16 consecutive playoff series wins (a record that would grow to 19 until the rematch with the Oilers the following year). Mike Bossy scored 60 goals yet again, and Wayne Gretzky became acquainted with Billy Smith's crease.
