Tyson Barrie #4

I’m super excited about this jersey! This jersey popped up on eBay while I happened to be going through my saved searches. Per usual, the timing couldn’t be any worse, as I had just spent a good chunk of change on the two Avs closeout auctions, where I snagged two Prime Green Game Issued Homes and two Aways. Despite the timing being awful, Avs game-worn jerseys do not pop up often, and when they do, they’re gobbled up quickly. With Tyson being a fan favorite (not just from the Avs fanbase) and the Avs having just won the Stanley Cup I knew I didn’t have time to dwell too much. I think the price I paid for this jersey was a steal and a half, even more so, when you factor in how hot the market for any Avs jersey (even replicas) has been after the Cup Victory!

I did not think I’d ever come across a Tyson Barrie game-worn jersey, especially so at a price I could afford. Back in January 2022, I posted on one of the Avs Game Worn Jersey groups that I was looking for a Tyson Barrie and/or a John-Michael Liles jersey. The only hit I got from that post was a sweet Tyson Barrie jersey from the Adam Foote Retirement Night, with that amazing patch! The only downside was Tyson didn’t play that game, so the jersey was only issued. That price was much higher than I was wanting to spend on a Game Issued Barrie jersey.

This will be only my second Avs Game Worn Jersey. The first I acquired was a Jordan Caron game worn 2014-15 “Blueberry” I’ve since sold. This jersey was worn for 13 games where Tyson tallied 1 Goal and 5 Assists. I attended the first game Tyson wore this jersey in and got to witness the first point in this jersey!
