Re: Joe Namath Jersey - 8D Auctions
I thought I'd resurrect this original thread. This sale brings to mind the following thoughts;
- A friend told me, "the only thing consistent about this hobby is its inconsistencies".
- research is a invaluable tool.
- ideas and opinions change. Years ago, I got an opinion from another collector on a jersey I owned. He told me my jersey was not correct so based on his opinion, I sold the jersey for a song. A year or so later, the jersey sold for thousands of dollars. What pissed me off was, the collector who told me the jersey was not correct, authenticated the same jersey. When I reached out for the collector, he wrote back stating his opinion was based on the information that was known at that time.
Here is the auction that got me thinking.
In closing, do your own research and gather as many opinions from as many different sources as possible to formulate your own opinion(s). The Internet makes things a whole lot easier.
