I'd like to get the opinion of the forum regarding how much wearing a game worn jersey decreases (if any) the value of said jersey. I'm trying to pry one of my holy grail jerseys from a guy I know but he is very reluctant to part with it. The main reason is he loves to wear the jersey to games, out on the town, etc. Presumably he's washed the jersey numerous times as well. So I'd imagine any chance of a photo match was lost in the wash cycle. Being relatively confident the jersey is legit, I still want the jersey. I would think consistently wearing the jersey has to decrease its value somewhat. But how much? 20%? 30%? 50%?

Does anyone have any thoughts?

Peace,

John
