Platinum Jeter Auction, Is it worth the $$$

[Steeleraddict]

Believe me, I'm in the top 1% over overpaying. But 155k? Wow. Can't think of any Steeler item I'd pay for that. Although now that I think about it,I've come close sort of.

Even if i were jeter and wanted it back.....

What sells for more, that WS bat or the jersey worn in Jeter's MLB debut that a forum member owns?

The jersey should easily be more valuable but if that forum member chose to list it, would he be very disappointed if the jersey doesn't match the bat price?

Since the bidding continued to rise on the bat, there are a couple people willing to pay high prices. It only takes one on the other side to really spark the bidding. I have been stuck in that type of war before. Ego vs ego, must have vs must have

The debut jersey will sell for multiples of the rookie world series bat.

Def. the jersey under normal circumstances. Everything being equal.
But here were 2 bidders who weren't gonna lose.
Hopefully your buddy can attract those same two bidders.

That's gotta be the record for a modern day GU bat/jersey etc..21st century

The Ruth Auction will attract every Yankee fan/bidder
hell...the Yankees are playing in the same building that weekend (the sports legends museum is connected to Camden Yards) and we expect several current members of the Yankees to preview the product that weekend on film, and several former players (including 1 recently retired hint hint) to be ON HAND at the preview party and live event.
which is why Chris and I have been pushing to get key yankee items in, even modern ones, EARLY to lock up slots

I like Jeter and I know him getting 3,000 hits is his talent more than just sticking around a long time.
But, he is not the great player people seem to want him to be.
Was he good, yes.
HOF good, oh yes.
One of the best of his time, well probably not.

His own teammate Ichiro was better for his career. Side by side with Jeter, for his career his is a better hitter, a better fielder, and a better base runner.

Not to mention all the other better hitters during his playing time.
If he had not been a Yankee his prices would not be anywhere near what they are. But when you have the most fans in baseball, you have more collectors. Supply and demand.

Meant to type..."Side by side with Jeter, for his career he is a better hitter, a better fielder, and a better base runner."

How can you be HOF good but not of of the best of your era? Both are first ballot HOFers for sure but Ichiro doesn't have 5 WS rings and a history for being clutch in the postseason for the most storied franchise in baseball. He's come close but the only thing Jeter doesn't have on his baseball resume is an MVP. Jeter's also the only Yankee to have over 3,000 hits so he's in a class by himself in that sense. I'd say he's the greatest Yankee player since Mantle.

I'd have to guess that his first MLB jersey would go for almost twice what his WS bat did if you get two big time collectors who really want it.
