the throwback is limited, the converter will always be there. You shouldnt have a problem unloading that jersey on e-bay if you decide you dont want it.

Voted for a converter why: Case in point

Your eating chicken wings and get a stain on your throw back, you'll be pissed it got dirty and what not, could possibly be stained for life.

Now your eating chicken wings and get sauce on the converter, wipe it off and its good to go.
