Which jersey would you buy??

[beckettbats]

I have the chance to pick up two nice jerseys, the problem is I can only afford one right now.

I wanted to ask members of the forum which one they think would be a better investment.

Jersey #1 - 2012 Orioles Adam Jones game used Spring Training / BP jersey

Jersey #2 - 2012 Orioles Manny Machado game used Spring Training / BP jersey from first ML Spring Training. #85

Both show good use.

Let me know what you guys think.

My money on the kid.

I would probably lean towards Machado if you are looking at it as an investment. They both will be/are solid major league players for many years to come.

You will be able to buy plenty of A Jones stuff in the future, but a first ST jersey of Machado would be a no brainer!

If you are doing it for investment purposes, the Machado has greater potential to be worth more. However, Adam Jones is more of a sure bet. Prospects don't always pan out. So - Just keep that in mind, when you make your purchase. Good luck in whatever you decide.

I personally would save the money for a actual season used jersey. I'm sure because of his hype the jersey ain't cheap to begin with. And say he does become a huge star, will a spring training BP jersey really go up in value much?

Id go with machado. Being there both spring training jerseys. I would think the Rookie season one would be more valuable in the long run.

I highly doubt a spring training jersey would be worthy of an investment piece.
You don't really see people looking for HOF players' ST jerseys ever and I don't think the 2 you listed will be an exception in the future.
That being said, my preference would be for the Machado jersey over Jones.

Thank you guys for the responses. I guess I misused the word investment. I guess what I meant to say is which one should I spend my money on.

Re: Which jersey would you buy??

My thoughts are save your money for a regular season jersey and go with Machado. The kid will be huge. Jones is not in that class as a player.
