Re: Bryce Harper 1st Jersey

If the nats have a couple more drafts like theyve had the last few years they will be a team to watch.

My understanding is that Bryce will begin the season in Hagerstown and progress from there as warranted. Saw him take batting practice at Nationals Park and he has tremendous power. Looks like a phenom to me, but you never know how he'll hit curve balls, particularly from lefthanders.

Yes, he is going to start in A ball in Hagerstown Maryland and progress from there. The fact that he did so well in the AFL shows he really could start in AA Harrisburg but they don't want to rush him as he can gain confidence in A ball.

As a Nats guy, I am real excited about all the possibilities!

Drum roll.. Final price $7450.00

That is a nice deal as this kid will exceed expectations. I love his Pete Rose Charlie Hustle attitude. For just turning 18 years old he gives a great interview. I met him when he got introduced at Nats Park this year and the exhibition he put on during batting practice was crazy.

I am sure the Nationals Dream Foundation will auction off some of his other items as well as his Spring Training items like they did with Stephen Strasburg's.

A shame he didn't sign with a gold paint pen on the jersey. Not the best pen to use.

But the significance of that jersey is that it was worn in Bryce's first ever professional game and he recorded his first professional hit in it. It is basically the jersey that represents the start of his pro career. That's a grail item in my opinion.

Brian, I agree with you on its grail potential and that is why the price went so high and if he lives up to the hype this could be an amazing centerpiece in a collection. I look forward to getting many items from him in the future as I have a Bryce Harper collection going already.

Over $6000 with 5 days remaining. I really hope this doesnt get cut up into a bunch of jersey cards.

Re: Bryce Harper 1st Jersey

I figured that it would go higher, but $2000 was my limit... and the hat... who bids up a game used hat to $600?

Re: Bryce Harper 1st Jersey

I didn't realize that you were the one in the bidding with me. I am out too. I would rather have a MLB gamer but thought that was a cool jersey.

Re: Bryce Harper 1st Jersey

it's a sad, sad, day... lol I'm officially out of the bidding. I'll settle for some more Heyward jerseys. Contact me if you have 'em!

Re: Bryce Harper 1st Jersey

Don't worry, I'm guessing that this jersey will go for about triple what my high bid is, lol. More likely that not, it won't end up in my collection. Did anyone else see the hat? It's up to $507!

Re: Bryce Harper 1st Jersey

Good luck with the jersey, would be a great item.

Wonder what level Harper is going to start out at next season? Guess it will be determined by his Spring Training.

I would say Potomac, if he's lucky he could be in the majors by 2012. He will be a very interesting player to watch.
