Number kits / La Botiga

[slvtn]

Hey guys,

a friend of mine is in the fortune to visit Barcelona for a gig tomorrow. He asked me if could bring me any goodies from La Botiga and all I basically wanna have would be a number kit for either the 11/12 jersey or the 12/13 home/ 3rd jersey. Do any of your guys know if the shops sell the name and number kits seperately? And how much they are? I'm basically looking for a Busquets kit and you'll just get Messi, Xavi & Iniesta in Germany. Unfortunately.

Thanks in advance!

I would love to know this actually, since my Puyol 5 shirt of 06/07 is absolutely trashed when it comes to the number and name.

What do you mean by sell name and number kits separately? If your question is that you can buy a Busquets shirt with his name and number on it then the answer is yes.

 

[slvtn]

That's not what I intended. I already have a shirt, but just want the number/name and get it printed on here. Just curious if this is possible, as shops seem to order those kits seperately and print them on demand.

 

[Galning]

Yeah if he takes your shirt with him he can get it printed

 

[slvtn]

Well that's another problem. He doesn't have the shirt with him. It isn't that important, but it'd be a good chance. Have to "push" myself to go to Barcelona. Haha.

I've seen sometimes the name/number sets on eBay & such, maybe try your luck there.

 

[slvtn]

There are several kits on ebay, of course it is juts Messi, Xavi and Iniesta.

Looked on this guy's shop who sells a lot of kit sets & they have the numbering but not the name for Busquets.

I did find the one on ebay I was looking for, but guess it's not official? And how about the quality, any idea or experiences from others here?

 

[slvtn]

Well that's fairly cheap and worth the risk. Compared to the Busquets one above, it at least has the Barca logo in it.

 

[Catorce]

Yeah true. Stupid of me is that I've instantly bid on it, instead of waiting for it to expire and then bid with a few seconds remaining. All his auctions that expired are private (so can't see the final price), but his current auctions are almost all 0 bids or Buy It Now. And what happens at my auction? I get overbid...

Price bumper most certainly, but if that is how he can make a sandwich... Also means the stuff he sells is most probably fake, but as you said it's worth the risk. Will now try to bid with a few seconds to go and see what happens. And if I can't get it, I will just wait for the next one to appear.

I found only Iniesta's, Messi's, Xavi's and Cesc's templates on this one site.

Thanks for the help, unfortunately my mate didn't make it to the shop anyway, so I can't even tell if the numbers are for sale.
I'm just lookin for a 11/12 away jersey then and get a Xavi/Iniesta/Cesc number and make a 12/13 third kit then.

I bought one from the ebay seller hkepsvisa. Will post any updates on it being good or bad when I get it. Will be sent to my parents' house, so will be in a month or so.
