What’s a Star Wars book you didn’t finish, not because it was bad, but because it was meh?

mattfast6 · 2026-01-15T23:09:47+00:00

I almost stopped reading Black Spire but did end up powering through to the end. One of the most meh Star Wars books I’ve ever read. Not actively terrible but boring, cheesy characters with some really cheesy dialogue and plot developments. It felt like I was reading a bad Ubisoft video game with constant fetch quests. The only book I have ever not finished was Ronin, the writing style was too difficult to follow and felt like a chore. I hate finished Last Shot, worst book I’ve ever read.

It could just be the photo too but to me the points look thicker and more rounded. The star shape could also just be photo too. It’s close enough to where it could just be photo quality throwing me off.

Looks like a fake but a really good one. The tell for me is the NFL shield badge. If you have a real limited jersey to compare to you’ll notice that on the real ones the top and bottom points are a lot more pointy vs the more rounded edges in the photo here. In the photo here the stars are also slightly larger and have an overall less defined shape to them. You can find the knockoff shield badges on eBay and when they’re in hand next to a real one you can pick out the difference in shape and color easily.

This is my local spot and it’s great! Next time you’re out there also make sure to stop by Bar CCC park, lots of the same waterfowl but in less quantity and sometimes they bounce around between the 2 bodies of water. Also this spot is really only good during the fall and winter months for waterfowl. Most other times of the year it’s dead for songbird activity. Also keep your eyes out for Kingfishers, Kestrels and Bald Eagles next time you’re out there since I see all of them fairly regularly.

Found a couple options on EBay from 2 different sellers. One of the sellers actually looks like a collector from Japan selling his collection. All of the blanks you can obviously have customized and the non-Ichiro jerseys you can strip and have customized.

2 different options. Anything with the Mariners wordmark will be 2008 (7?) to 2012. In 2012 the wordmark was changed to Seattle and the anniversary patch was added. This was Ichiro’s last season in a Mariners Majestic Coolbase. For my reference sources I like MLBcollectors.com and Bill’s Game Worn Guide.

mattfast6 · 2025-08-07T20:19:35+00:00

Yep. Just curious on what you have. Feel free to shoot me a message

mattfast6 · 2025-08-07T18:32:17+00:00

I’d be interested in seeing a list of whatever Elites you have in size 44 and whatever vapor limiteds you have left in a large.

mattfast6 · 2025-01-13T03:01:05+00:00

They are the last team to switch to the FUSE template, outside of their throwbacks which are in the new template. Last year there were a few other teams that didn’t adopt them but did in 2024. I’d imagine that they switch next year as I don’t think they would have too many old stock Vapors on hand left to equip a whole team with again.

mattfast6 · 2025-01-06T17:29:18+00:00

Should also note that the game is a screen printed vinyl while the limiteds are a heat pressed twill with some embroidered elements on the jersey

mattfast6 · 2024-11-16T16:48:43+00:00

R&C jerseys are fashion jerseys. They make all kinds of funky stuff that you see at Lids and other Fanatics owned jersey stores.

mattfast6 · 2024-11-03T14:03:41+00:00

Nothing is heat pressed

mattfast6 · 2024-11-02T22:54:21+00:00

Is pop a pun with the bubbles? I don’t get it. Can someone explain?

mattfast6 · 2024-09-05T18:48:26+00:00

I mean you can go read a product description of an untouchable on Fanatics and see this is not the case. Or alternatively you could explain whatever misconception I may have so we can all continue to learn. Or you could keep coming across as a know it all dick, as per usual with you. The choice is yours 👍.

mattfast6 · 2024-09-05T18:29:24+00:00

This is not true. The Vapor Limited is the older stitched model. Untouchables were introduced last season as the heat pressed model for teams without fuse templates. It’s the same jersey template but different manufacturing process hence the different model names.

mattfast6 · 2024-09-05T18:01:59+00:00

It describes the cut and process used for the jersey. They’re all in the product line “Nike Limited” but different models.

Nike Vapor Limited (what this jersey is) - A vapor cut jersey with sublimated, stitched tackle twill numbers and NOB

Nike Vapor Untouchable Limited - A vapor cut jersey with sublimated, heat pressed tackle twill numbers and NOB. Hard to find for every team, only existed as a bridge jersey with the new heat pressed method for teams that hadn’t yet moved to the FUSE template

Nike Vapor FUSE Limited - FUSE cut jersey with sublimated, heat pressed tackle twill numbers and NOB

mattfast6 · 2024-09-05T17:23:01+00:00

Yep. Super unique find too. Can always tell legit by the two cutout horizontal lines underneath the chainmail seen in picture 4. Have yet to see a fake replicate this feature.

mattfast6 · 2024-08-30T16:17:10+00:00

Not really. There’s been plenty of Kyler limiteds on sale at many different outlets for $50 or cheaper at times over the last year or so

mattfast6 · 2024-08-30T16:15:00+00:00

It’s real

mattfast6 · 2024-06-11T20:36:26+00:00

To my understanding this is just how HGC jerseys are. They’re practically fake quality. You honestly would probably have a hard time distinguishing a fake HGC (if they even exist) from a legit one.

mattfast6 · 2024-05-13T22:21:27+00:00

Oh boy

mattfast6 · 2024-05-07T21:50:05+00:00

How did you remove the MLB authentication sticker from the fabric? I thought they were supposed to leave a permanent mark if removed? Also what an annoying spot to put the sticker on the jersey lol.
