New Chargers game used dealer

[Eric]

Hey everyone-
Just wanted to share some info. The new official dealer for Chargers game used items is a company called Rancho Bernardo Sports cards.

They put some jerseys up on ebay. (It seems the prices aren't actually the prices. I made an offer much more in the range of where I have seen them sold and got a reasonable counteroffer)

Here's a link to their ebay store. When the season starts, if you happen to be in SD, they're going to have a table at the games.

When I first saw that, I honestly thought it said "New Charges" and I was making my guess as to which dealer, as I clicked on the thread.

So do you think some of these could of been used during the preseason? I email them but got no replay back.

I dont any of these are preseaon used items because they are Reebok. This preason Nike jerseys were used.

None of these are from this season. Take a look at the year tags. According to the store, the new stuff will come in over the next few weeks

Pretty cool someone picked it up. I wish i could afford and knew how to get a contract to sell game used.

I meant preseason from a previous year. They look like they dont have much use. In a previous thread I ask if the Chargers sell game worn jersey from preseason game during there auctions and Eric said yes they do. I was interested in Jamaal Williams and found out that he only play one game that year and it wasnt the same jersey. So it had to be used in the preseason. However I think the jersey that have the 50th patch blue jersey were worn in the regular season game because they dont wear this jersey during the preseason. It be nice if the Chargers would put a date they were worn in

they are prob just left over inventory they wanted to get rid of b/c of the Nike switch and were used a few times

Re: New Chargers game used dealer

Good point about the wear. Makes sure to ask questions before making an offer. I'm guessing that when the season shirts come in you'll see more wear and if they do it right, they will be dated.

I have it from a good source that to get a contract, you pay the team about 100K for a certain number of shirts.

I spoke to the owner of the shop. You are correct. He said the Chargers steam clean the jersey and put them into storage. I guess my concern was it worn in a regular season or preseason as the Chargers dont different between the two.

Actually I went back and checked my notes. The source from an NFL team told me to be an official game used seller, they were looking for around $150,000 for about 100 jerseys.

Eric,

If what you've been told is accurate, and the cost per-jersey to the seller is $1,500 per jersey, I don't believe there's any way the seller can make enough money off the resale of the game used jerseys to warrant that kind of investment. Of course what the team is "looking for" and what they get may differ. Even if investing $100K for 100 jerseys I think the seller would have a difficult time turning a profit. I'm interested in knowing more about the business model if you have more in your notes. For example, is the $150K/100 jerseys based on a per-year basis or over a couple of seasons? Obviously there would have to be some discussion between the team and game used seller on which players' jerseys are included in the 100. It's interesting to get a glimpse of the seller side.

I would think that 150k is insane unless you are talking like Packers, Steelers or Pats. The Chargers only have one player, Rivers who sells near even 3k. You would be lucky to get a grand for most of the other guys.
