Good luck tonight to all who bid. The next batch looks good interesting to see what Wall (his 1st regular season jersey ever worn) and Durant bring. Not much Durant stuff out there.

has MeiGray released any information on which teams are participating in this year's NBAGameWorn program?

I have not seen anything and I check daily. I think they may be waiting for these auctions to be over. Obviously people will bid more for a jersey if it is from a team not in the program. If a team is in the program bidding will just stop when it gets to the cost to buy the jersey any day of the week from them. Especially since these are just opening night jerseys. This way noone knows which teams are in it when they bid. Or maybe I am looking into it too much and they just have not finalized the details.

Mbenga is correct.
Details should be finalized soon, definitely this month, and we will announce as soon as they are ready.

Thanks, and good luck in the bidding tonight everybody,

Barry

thank you Barry.

what did everyone else think of last night's final prices, higher/lower than you expected?

They were very low. I noticed that there was not much bidding before the last hour and the second JTNBAFAN bid everyone seemed to back off. As a result he practically stole Allen, Bosh, Wade and Roy (under $800). The Lebron "only" went for a bit over $14k which sounds high but will be a steal if the Heat win the "six or seven titles" Lebron thinks they will as it is the first Heat jersey he ever wore in a game that counted. I was the underbidder on the Kobe if I had not bid it would have been stolen for around $7,500. I dropped out at 10k because I will not spend more than that on a regular season jersey worn in one game and I am saving my cash for NFL jerseys.

Yea.... its funny the way some of these auctions end. The last 2 Celtics Auctions didn't have much drama in the closing minutes. The finals Jerseys and the Christmas Jerseys seemed to sell at the numbers they were at going into the final week. Last night there was quite a bit of aggressive bidding in the closing minutes.

Barry....Was this the first year of the opening night Jerseys? Did that have anything to do with it?

Will there be any new or repeating auctions this year? i.e. Christmas, Throwbacks etc?

Re: NBA Opening Night(s) auctions - Jerseys of starting 5 of each 30

was reading that post Dan made about the quality of the new jerseys this season, I wonder if that might have been a factor for lower bids and if it will affect other future auctions.

What are people spending 1,000s to wear the jerseys? It has nothing to do with the new material its people are getting smarter they are waiting until the end to bid and when they see a certain bidder bid they just dont bid. He got some bona fide steals the other night.

I too was surprised at how low the first batch of jerseys ended. Not sure why it happened, but I don't think it has any correlation with the new Revolution 30 style jersey. People beginning to recognize JT and backing off seems more plausible.

I didn't see any announcement, but another batch of 6 teams was put up for auction this past Tuesday (the 23rd): Atlanta Hawks, Chicago Bulls, New Orleans Hornets, Orlando Magic, Toronto Raptors & Utah Jazz. They'll end the evening of December 9th.

Mbenga is correct.

Looking forward to this news in the coming days.

Re: NBA Opening Night(s) auctions - Jerseys of starting 5 of each 30

I'm not sure that I can buy into the JT thing, but who knows?

I wanted a Jersey, so I bid and really didn't worry about who I was bidding against. I am strictly a Celtics guy and didn't think they went for short money at all! I bid on just about all of them and when the prices got too high, I bailed.

Having said that, I do think the quality is questionable and they will not last for many games with the more fragile material. There is no way you will ever be able to get one of the new Jerseys signed which really stinks.

So.....does this mean you will never be able to get an NBA Jersey signed again?
