What would you pay...?
Hey Game Used Collectors,
I thought this might be an interesting discussion topic. How much do you usually pay for the following items? A price range would be great, as well as info for how much more you'd pay for your favorite player.
1) A Bat
2) A Fielder's Glove
3) A Jersey
4) Cleats/Turf Shoes
5) Batting Gloves
6) Pants
7) A Hat
Add your own, if you wish.
Thanks.Les Zukor

Re: What would you pay...?
Prince Fielder and Alfonso Soriano are my favorite players and i have paid all different prices for thier bats. Fielder bats that arent his early model cherry colored bats i have bought for 300-450. I bought one of his rookie cherry colored lvs for 800. I think when it comes to a soriano bat the use is what drives the price. However I have bought barely used soriano bats for 450 and better used ones for 800 and none were even authenticated. Also i have noticed i have paid alot more for his nationals bats.

Re: What would you pay...?
Obviously everybody here knows I am the resident Kingman collector. Firts price you see will be what I paid in the old days in parenthesis, second is current pricing or what I'd expect to pay...
Jersey: (350-500), $1500+
Pants: ($250)
Fielders glove: ($750+)
bats: ($75-250) 250+
helmets $300+
hats: ??
As you can see, I have seen his jersey pricing go right thru the roof, keeping in mind that I have seen all jerseys go up dramatically, huge jumps. Of course with Kingman you are talking vintage now.
It amazes me how current players will garner big numbers. I see Zookerman collects Prince Fielder. I used to collect his dad here in the Detroit area. In his hayday his bats were $400. You'd be lucky to get $100 for his bat anywhere today. He had 3 consequetive RBI titles. I feel Prince will be a bigger star than dad, but find it hard to affix lofty figures to new guys, as so many times you see their careers fizzle and then the prices, like Cecil, respectively. I personally would love to have a Prince bat, but not at $800, not at $400 right now. Time will tell. Course the hobby has changed and so have what we feel are legitimate prices today. To get into this hobby today is an expensive one!!!

Re: What would you pay...?
since i am almost exclusively a Ray Lankford collector, i can narrow my results down to this. some are just guestimates as i have not come across some of these items.
1) A Bat - $50-$100
2) A Fielder's Glove - saw one once about 10 years ago for $500. i dont own one
3) A Jersey - $150 - $300
4) Cleats/Turf Shoes - $250
5) Batting Gloves - $20
6) Pants - have never seen any available. i would figure $50-$75
7) A Hat - $50-$75

Re: What would you pay...?
Well I think its actually hard for anyone to say say what they would pay even to the people who previously posted.
I mean we all have in mind what we would like to pay, but reality sets in and sometimes we get luck find a great deal and pay less and sometimes we find an item that we have to have and pay a lot more.
If it is a favorite player or team I thinnk it eventually it all boils down to the rarity of the item.
Being I am the resident Strawberry collector.
I have come away with a great deal of spending $10 on something to going as far as $2000+
Example if your favorite player has used an item or a brand once you may want to have it so bad because it is so rare and the person who is selling knows how rare it is and may have a high price tag on it. You may go out of your normal spectrum of paying just to have this item.
Strawberry Jerseys are not always easy to find
Strawberry bats are easy to find.
Cleats float around every now and again.
So its all relevant!!!
