Re: Granderson Game Worn Jersey -- 1st Game as a Yankee
disagree. it depends when you sell. if he keeps this start up and has six more years like this say 40 hr seasons and they win some more rings and hes regarded as alltime great yankee ala reggie then it will be worth much more than 1,500 in future. if your looking to buy for shortterm you still could make money off his big year. its not some run of mill jersey but 1st yankee one he ever wore.Comment

I dont like to buy when there are a bunch "if's" involved. It maybe because im not a big jersey guy but my evaluation is that granderson is having a great start and these are the times a lot of people get caught in the "hype". I know i have and im pretty sure many others as well. As for granderson becoming reggie-esque, he would need a lot more character and 400+ more hrsComment

Are you buying solely for investment purposes, or are you interested because you're a Granderson fan? Or both? If I were you, I would base my decision on what will mean the most to you. As others have said, I wouldn't get caught up in the hype. Steiner prices usually are high, but if you buy what you like, I bet you'll be happy - so long as you don't get ripped off. So if you're a Granderson fan and have the money, then go for it. But if you're on the fence, I'd hold off.Les Zukor

Re: Granderson Game Worn Jersey -- 1st Game as a Yankee
What should said is that its your opinion that Steiner's prices are high. Unless you can acquire another Granderson "first Yankees jersey" that he hit his first Yankees home run in to compare prices you can't make a general statement when it comes to this jersey.
What are you comparing Steiner prices too, Reds pricing, Rangers pricing? You can't compare unless you have, not only the same jersey, but the same jersey with the same use and used at the same time etc.Comment

Objectively speaking, I don't think that a .269 career hitter's jersey is worth $1,000. Granderson is having a great year judging by homers and RBI, but he's never reached the 100 RBI plateau once in his career, and his career strikeout numbers are very high. He also has only hit .300 once. His season seems to be an aberration.
I've dealt with a number of teams, and I would say that the Granderson jersey is overpriced. It's also not just about Steiner. When the Mariners wanted $1100 for a Justin Smoak jersey, I said "no" too. Despite these two examples, I've found that many teams are very fair, and that Steiner is on the more expensive side.
To be able to compare prices, you don't have to have the identical jersey from other teams. You can look at current performance, career stats, or any other metrics to decide what would be a ballpark monetary value for a jersey. The bottom line is what it's worth to the OP. If it means a lot to him, and he will enjoy it in his collection, then that's all that counts.Les Zukor

That being said, I do believe Steiner does price some items fair. Those are the items that sell before I can purchase themChris
