I agree a 100% with Yankwood and this is exactly what is going to happn.

But I think even a bigger picture is being missed here.

Unlike baseball cards. Because of an abundance of blanks and issueds let out into the Market each year will be easily one day turned into Game Worns or Useds. Lets not forget how close the retail authentic Jerseys com close to the real thing. There is almost no difference between the 2.

Even though baseball cards were over produced all that did was just harm the value.
But by producing tons of Game Issued Jerseys and Blanks into the market makes it very easy for someone to roll around in the dirt give it a few washes and walla you went from a Game Issued blank Yankees Jersey that was purchased yesterday to 5 years from now a Game Used Derek Jeter or AROD.
There is nothing done by the manufacturers or teams to do something significant to sepereate really what a Game Issued Jersey, Game Issued Blank, or a Retail Authentic.
Sure you can say well the wash code tagging is different, but as we all know you cant rely on wash code tags because we have to come to find out even some retail Jerseys have been Game Used.
