Any help on what a Jason Giambi Rockies Jersey is worth from 2009 with a team letter? Thanks so much.

$225 - $250?

Re: Need help on Giambi Rockies Jersey Value

Whatever someone will pay. The range guessed by the other poster sounds a little high I would say 175-200.

Re: Need help on Giambi Rockies Jersey Value

Wow, not much at all, I was expecting $500-$600. Thanks guys.

Re: Need help on Giambi Rockies Jersey Value

Yeah probably closer to $200...I would say most desirable rockies players would be Tulo and Gonzalez...Those would prob go for around $400-$450...Helton would probably bring around $300-$400 these days

You could expect that, maybe more if it was a Yankees jersey.

Tulowitzkis have been going for more than that lately. Mostly around $500-$700. I've seen some CarGos reach over $1100, but I dont own many of those.

I would say $200 is about right for the Giambi.

Geez, I'd hope that someone if his status could at least reach $300 unless there's just a ton of those jerseys available.

Re: Need help on Giambi Rockies Jersey Value

Helton goes for $400 from the Rockies Dug Out Stores - I can tell you that for a fact as I was the top of the list this year and they called me. I already have a Helton (I've been on their list for over 6 years), so I told them to move onto the next guy.

I asked prices for Tulo and Cargo - not that they had any available as they have waiting lists for most all of the big name players - and they are $500 each.

I am picking up McKenry's home white vest - which means he wore it in his 1st MLB appearance pinch hitting as they were at home wearing the vests. September call ups get ONE of each jersey. I've been following McKenry for awile and his jersey is costing $200 from the Dugout Store.

Giambi - they did not get any Giambi's last year or this year. They all went (like many pieces) out the back door to larger bulk buyers who have been buying from the Rockies for years.

That said, a 2009 Giambi Rockies jersey will cost a bit more than you think considering their is only ONE of each jersey style for him since he was also a September Call Up. As far as I have been able to find out, they did NOT make extra jerseys for the 2009 Post Season.

I personally own Giambi's 2009 Home White Vest from his 1st Game as a Rockie along with a pair of home pants. Both are now signed and the Jersey is inscribed as GU. I paid just shy of $500 for both pieces from one of the Rockies big bulk buyers. If the Rockies had gotten the jersey, it would have been $500 by itself.

It is photo matched to the 1st two games as well as to the picture of him on his 2009 Topps Unique Card:








So, just wondering which jersey is being offered to you and for how much?

I live in Denver and am pretty much an expert on Rockies LOAs as well if you want to forward any pics to me...

P.S. - Here's a video of Jason signing the jersey at Spring Training and adding the GU inscription at Coors Field:

GUU Member - 2000MVP - already has 1st dibs on my Giambi uni IF I ever decide to sell it and I have 1st dibs on his 2009 Rox Giambi GU helmet IF he ever decides to sell it...

I can pretty much guarantee you now that it is signed and all with video proof, I won't even hear anything less than $1,000.

I would realistically guess - because Giambi has become a VERY big deal here in Denver quickly - that his 2010 jerseys will bring $400-$600 each and any of the other few 2009 ones out there (his 1st season here and only for ONE month) will bring $600-$800 unsigned.

Just my opinion, but the 2009's are EXTREMELY rare - as I said, ONE of each as far as what I have been told.

Re: Need help on Giambi Rockies Jersey Value

..Interesting thread,just thought I'd weigh in.The way I see it,Giambi falls into a niche right now-the only people interested are Rockies collectors or Giambi collectors.Based on a lack of interest (by the game-used community) in many of his items that I've seen at auction,whether on eBay or the auction houses,I'd say that most people are not willing to pay the higher prices they once did for his game-used stuff.As Chris said,however,that '09 stuff has to be pretty tough.I have his helmet,cage jacket,and pregame fleece...Chris has the alt. home uniform..and another member here (can't remember who,though I remember reading the post) has his road pants.Other than these items,I have NEVER seen anything Giambi/Rockies related hit the market from '09.Keep in mind though,that Chris paid $500 for the complete jersey/pants set at a time when the Rockies were still on everybody's mind after just making the playoffs where they lost to Philadelphia..and from what I recall,the eBay seller who offered that uniform had it listed for two,possibly three weeks at that price with no interest (hell,the only reason I didn't buy it was I had just bought a McGwire bat the week before..ehh...timing sucks sometimes).Would an '09 home,road,or black alt demand a premium?Possibly,but again,I think only from a Rockies or Giambi collector..I would say maybe $300 to $400,and that high end might be generous.
As for the 2010s,I would have to think they would fall into that $200-$250 range.I'm sure there have to be plenty of these,as Giambi would of have to have gotten at least 2 of each-so right there you're talking about 8 jerseys.Maybe a little more could be possible if people were interested in those jerseys because of the memorial patches found on them this year,but otherwise you have to remember-popularity and clubhouse leader roles aside,Giambi is now a bench player who hit .244 with 6 HRs in 87 games..the days of people overpaying for his gear are done.As Lastings said,the Yankees stuff has,does,and will see the best prices-and even there,prices are dropping.I paid $500 for an '07 Yanks home that was beaten up with use,photomatched from April thru the postseason,and had the Rizzuto/Lidle memorials..I'm not sure any Rockies stuff will approach that price anytime soon.
That said,I'll still be waiting for one of Chris' "back-door guys" to put one of these jerseys into the marketplace so I can finally add a Rox jersey to my collection!!


Best of luck to you,
Joe

And Chris...have you ever seen one of his Rox hats for sale??If the jerseys are tough,the hats are impossible!!
