Looking for your opinion on Game Used Jerseys home away or alternate?
Hello Members I am curious of your opinion!!!
I noticed in most cases Home Jerseys have brought in more money then others and I noticed Alternates bring in the least.
Do you prefer a Game Used Home, Away or Alternate Jersey?
Which do you think is more valuable or sought after?

Re: Looking for your opinion on Game Used Jerseys home away or alternate?
I think that your right that the home jerseys usually bring in more money. Maybe home jerseys are sought after more by collectors and fans, becuase this is the kind of jersey that they see when they go to the ballpark to watch their team. Their team's name in displayed on the jersey rather than the city name.
I would guess that the alternates bring in the least money becuase they are not worn as much as the home or the road jerseys.
My team is the Astros, so the home pinstripe jerseys are really nice. They are not as plain as the road grey jerseys and are great because they can be photomatched by looking at the pinstripes and such. However, there are tons of Astros home pinstriped jerseys in collectors hands.
My favorite Astros jerseys are the alternate red jerseys. They look awesome and look great signed. I guess that they are also a little bit harder to come by, because I really haven't seen that many.
Anyways, theres my thoughts!

I like the alternate jerseys the best. Although they aren't used as much compared to the regular home and roads and don't show as much wear in most cases. Seems some teams now have so many combinations it's hard to tell what is what. Don't Texas Rangers have about 5 versions going, regular home white, vest home white, regular gray road, vest gray road and alternate blue used both at home and on the road. Indians have similar grouping now.

I agree with you both as funny as it seems, it does seems like the alternates are usually the cooler looking of all the jerseys but like you guys said they get the least wear so they are not sought after as much.
If anyone else has any thoughts on this please join in?

It may be the case w/baseball jerseys but not w/hockey gameworns. Alternates or 3rd jerseys are the most expensive of the 3.

Re: Looking for your opinion on Game Used Jerseys home away or alternate?
My personal take on home jerseys commanding a higher price is that the general public (not necessarily the local fan) associates the home jersey with a team more frequently then they associate the away jersey because they associate the team with their home city and therefore the home jersey. For example, while not a Raiders fan, when I think of them I think of them in Oakland and in the home black.
I think this impacts the price because if more people associate this style with the team or player then more people look for that type of jersey as a more desirable representation of the team or player. That then drives up the demand for that style (and the price).
As a Broncos guy, I look for both home and away styles because I want a more complete representation of the team.
Just my two cents...probably a load of c**p but there you have it!
Thanks
