Frazier $1600
Sale $1800

You will see a bunch of ST jerseys on MLB Auctions getting sold by MLB, they got a bunch of different teams stock. I know they bought all the Rockies ST jerseys in a bulk buy. I hope some end up listing....

MLB Auctikns is a platform that each individual team can use, they do not purchase stuff from the teams. The team rep lists the items for sale and handles the shipping upon completion. Any misrepresentations or delays are a result of the individual team, not MLB.

I know this, I can also tell you for sure that MLB purchased all of the Rockies ST jerseys in a bulk buy.

If you look at the auction that started on 4.27 for ST jerseys, it looks like the jerseys listed from teams like A's, Reds, Red Sox, Cards have come from similar bulk buys. I don't know this for a fact, but those are pretty similar style lots listed and advertised at the same time by MLB, just saying...

Re: 2K Spring training jerseys?

The Diamondbacks have been selling their ST jerseys at the ballpark for prices in the $200-$300 range - except for certain players like Goldschmidt, whose stuff gets picked up before it even hits the Team Shop, and for four figures, I'm sure. (No, Nick, nothing of Chris's has shown up yet, but I will continue to look!)

I seldom even bother to check out auctions at MLB. Prices on even unknown players, recent call-ups, scrubs, etc., are just stupid high.

Re: 2K Spring training jerseys?

Each team had the opportunity to purchase the jerseys from MLB, but apparently the quote was astronomical. That is why MLB is auctioning them off for a number of teams.

Re: 2K Spring training jerseys?

Agreed these are going for more than they're worth as do most things on MLB Auctions. I did end up buying an Orioles Jonathan Schoop ST jersey for $450 which is probably a lot more than it will be worth. I was at one of the games he wore it in and was able to photo match it based on the design in the numbers. That and the fact I like him as a player made me shell out a few extra bucks. At least these didn't have a reserve like so many O's auctions do.

You are incorrect, the teams own these jerseys. Each team is a business and has different ownership and leadership. Jerseys are purchased, owned and sold by each individual team. Again, MLB does not auction off jerseys, they provided a software/auction platform for each team to use. That listing you see in an MLB Auction is created, managed and fulfilled by the team!

Sorry, but you are actually the one that is incorrect. I'm not sure why you are so confident, but I actually spoke to the people that run Cardinals Authentics. This is what they told me. Even so, it was very clear from the auction web pages that it was MLB auctioning these jerseys. When individual teams auction items, the teams logo is next to the auction title. The MLB logo was next to the auction titles for the spring training jerseys.

Re: 2K Spring training jerseys?

Not sure about all teams but I'm pretty sure the Orioles jerseys were sold by the team as it states that the proceed would benefit the OriolesReach charity.

Yep, that's an easy way to know the source.

Patiently waiting for Rockies jerseys to get posted by MLB...

MLB has the right to pull any items they want and auction them off. An example of this is Mother's Day bats. While most of the time they do it their is a reason behind it like charity, but they definitely have that right. The spring training jerseys are a little different because some teams seem to be selling their own while others are being sold by MLB, but I am sure there are reasons for this and even within the program sometimes the reasons are unknown.

Re: 2K Spring training jerseys?

MLB has the Rockies Mothers Day hats, so I expect them to auction at some point.
