Current Value For Turn Ahead The Clock Jersey's

[Phil316]

So I came across a guy who has a bout 7 or 8 Seattle Mariners Turn Ahead The Clock game used jerseys from 1998. I met up with him this afternoon. He has never made his collection public or ever sold anything. I did pick up a few items for my collection.

Anyways trying to come up with a fair value is kinda hard since i have never seen one for sale.

Any ideas ?

That's awesome! If he decides to part with a few, I'd be interested in picking one up. Do you recall what players he had? I've never seen a mariners game used one for sale so it's hard to gauge a price

They where mostly no names except for Ibanez and Fassero.

He is selling everything, his whole collection. Working on a deal to buy it all.

Does he have any of the hats? I been looking for them for awhile now.

I'd be interested in one, even a no-name, if you buy them and want to part some out. Please keep me in mind if so!

I think TNTtoys is the resident turn ahead the clock collector. Hopefully he can chime in.

I agree Nick is the resident expert. I spoke with him at the beginning of the year about the Detroit Tigers TATC jerseys. He said the lesser players should go for between $200 - $300. Not sure if other teams' price points are different.

Peace!

Somehow I missed this one.

Yes, depends upon the team for the most part, and the driving factor is usually supply & demand... Some of them put all of theirs on the auction block (there are many out there and several surface regularly) whereas other teams gave them to the players (where you will probably never find one, no matter how hard you look).

I have seen some commons sell for ridiculous numbers (i.e. Twins and Brewers) and others sell for the $200-300 range (i.e. Tigers, White Sox, Phillies).

Hope that's helpful.

Nick thanks for the reply.

Nick (TNT):

Given your knowledge of this uniform genre, could you be so kind as to list the TATC teams that issued these uniforms in 1998-99. If I recall correctly, only 21 or so of the teams issued them, and there were some (such as the Cubs) who never wore the style. I would find a listing like this helpful, and I'm sure others would as well. Thanks.

Phillies Curt Schilling TAC jersey with matching flagged sleeve undershirt sold for $900 and change including fees in Hunt's auction last year.

That would be expected, as Schilling was a decorated superstar, All-Star player, multiple time World Series hero, one of the better pitchers of a generation.

At the same time, Hunt sold a lot of 4 more common Phillies TATC jerseys for approx $900 for the entire lot.

Re: Current Value For Turn Ahead The Clock Jersey's

Thanks, Nick. I can recall my disappointment 15 years ago when I saw the Cubs were not wearing these. At the rime, though, the Cubs were often party poopers on uniform styles and additions, so I wasn't totally surpriseed.
