Bryce Harper Debut Jersey - eBay

Re: Bryce Harper Debut Jersey - eBay

Anything Harper is ridiculously expensive. He just did a signing and autographed baseballs are going for $130!! I can't justify these prices for a guy who could have a career ending injury tomorrow and never have even played in 1 MLB game.

Re: Bryce Harper Debut Jersey - eBay

I'm just now seeing that the jersey sold for $5,182!!

That's a lot for a jersey that wasn't even from his pro debut game and shows minimal use

Looks like it sold in e-bay for $12K.......WOW! Not even a big league game yet!

Just looks like the auction ended, nobody purchased it.

The pictures are the same too! I'm just now noticing. They're basically just copied from the auction with the background removed.

Re: Bryce Harper Debut Jersey - eBay

Funny, it is still listed on e-bay also. How do they sell it in both places?

Re: Bryce Harper Debut Jersey - eBay

Thanks for posting! It now looks like all 3 jerseys have been found via photographs.

This is great information for any Harper collector

Re: Bryce Harper Debut Jersey - eBay

I looked at some photos that I took of Bryce this season when he played in Lakewood. This might be the jersey that is up for auction. I noticed that the E is covering part of the black piping and the S looks like it matches.

Re: Bryce Harper Debut Jersey - eBay

The seller just informed me that he was told when the jersey was purchased that there are 3 road jerseys that were worn by Harper during his tenure with Hagerstown.

Great job, Kyle. I think that your excellent work is a great service to the hobby. In addition to your obvious talent in photography, you have a bright future as an authenticator.

Merry Christmas!

Re: Bryce Harper Debut Jersey - eBay

Here's an enlarged close-up of a photo I found on Flickr from April 14th, which shows another jersey, which doesn't match to his debut jersey OR the one on eBay (the "E" doesn't overlap the piping compared to the eBay photo), so as long as the one on eBay is game worn, then that makes there a minimum of atleast 3 road jerseys issued to Bryce

The Suns were definitely thinking of the money if they were issuing so many road jerseys to a lower-class A player

Re: Bryce Harper Debut Jersey - eBay

I informed the seller about the differences and here's his response:


"Bryce wore a few jerseys in 2011. This was one of them. In 2011 in pro debut season."


"FYI. I have 100 percent feedback on eBay for thirteen years. Thank for your message. Made me change the wording a little. Bryce wore this during his 2011 pro debut season. He wore a few jerseys thru out the season. Never meant to say it was day one jersey. Thanks"

Great work! Huge difference. The jersey just plummeted in value IMO
