Title: Collector Sports Jerseys
Post by: Father Demon on May 03, 2006, 11:40:20 PM
I have a couple of collector's hockey jerseys that I'm pretty sure are worth some money, but I have no idea whatthey are really worth.

eBay isn't a help, since these jerseys aren't something that is sold everyday.  I tried Google, but I can't find anything or anyone to ask what they might be worth.

Anyone on here collect jersey's, and have found a reputable source to help determine the values?

are they game worn and/or autographed....cause if not i dont see how they would be worth that much money...define 'collector jersey'

depending on exactly what they are would determine where to sell them

It also depends, in autographed jersies, whether or not the autograph is authenticated (PSA/DNA) or not.  If the jersey is authenticated, the value shoots up 2 times, conservatively.

They're hockey jerseys though, so the re-sale value is halved after all other modifiers are applied.

So much for the value of my autographed Rod Brind'Amour Flyers jersey, eh?

game worn hockey jerseys go for big bucks

No..   the best of the two is an authentic, autographed (certifed by some authority -- I forget who) Gretzky Edmonton Jersey with a shoulder patch commemorating the 4 Stanley Cup years while he was there.  The patch was authorized by the NHL, but only up to 99 of them.  The jersey is numbered out of 99 (maybe 37/99 or something like that).  That there are only 99 of these patches on the jersey's in existance is what *should* make this a pretty valuable jersey.

The second is an authentic, autographed (again, certified by some agency) Blues Pronger jersey which commemorates the year Pronger won both the Hart and and the Norris awards -- only the seond player in history a player won both awards in the same season (Bobby Orr was the other).  It too is numbered, out of an authorized amount of 44.

without them being game worn you are probably better just keeping them as i dont think you are going to get the money youre looking for

best way to sell those tho would be to get a hockey news and go thru the classified...as well as look for ads....you can find collectable spots in canada that can probably tell you their worth
