Hi, This is my first post here and I admittedly know nothing about game used items. I collect PSA graded sportscards and know that side of the house however.
I grew up a huge Twins fan and an even bigger Hrbek fan. In 1994, they were threatening a strike and I said that if they went on strike I would never go to another game again. Well, I went to Hrbek's last game in 1994 before the strike and stayed true to my promise of never going to another game until last year. I figured staying away for 13 years proved my point.
Last year I went to over 30 games and became hooked again. I have bought 7 non game used jerseys already and get to the games when the gates open to get balls during BP.
I was at a Twins Pro Shop last week buying yet another jersey. This time the late 70's to early 80's home jersey which I am having customized with Hrbek's 14 on it. I noticed that they sold game used jerseys there. I almost pulled the trigger on a home alternate Liriano but I wanted to educate myself first on game used jerseys prior to making any purchases.
So I found this site and come humbly looking for knowledge. Please suffer with me for a few questions.
1. Is $400 for a home alternate Liriano a good price?
2. It seems that the Pro Shop would be a bit higher in price but since they are part of the baseball club you could be assured of getting the real deal. Is this the case and are there other outlets that are as trustworthy?
3. What is the general price range for Twins jerseys? What could I expect to pay for a Hrbek gamer for instance?
4. I have never been to a Twins Fest. Would this be a good event to get legit game used jerseys?
5. Does getting a game used jersey signed add or detract from it's value?
Thanks for reading my post. I look forward to becoming a collector of game used jerseys. I have an extra room in my house that is just dying to be used to display various sports items.
