NFL Auctions - Doug Martin Bucs jersey

Re: NFL Auctions - Doug Martin Bucs jersey

I agree. I wasn't judging the purchase either. People can pay what they want for an item. I think I was just more shocked at the final overall price considering a future HOFer like Tony Gonzalez's jersey went for much less and his was a milestone jersey. Lord knows I've overpaid for a jersey or two that I will never recoup my money on if I ever tried to sell them. This looks to me like nothing more then a bidding war for a talented rookie RB's jersey.

I just re-read my post and I want to clarify, my comments are not meant to judge anybody's purchase. I am speaking only of my opinion of the price paid versus what I think the future value might be. And, of course, everybody has the right to do what they wish with their money. I'm sure the purchaser of the jersey could care less what any of us think of the price he paid for the jersey, and rightfully so.

Re: NFL Auctions - Doug Martin Bucs jersey

If he had a good reason why, I would be interested in what it is. That was not even the game where he had 200 yards from scrimmage at Minnesota or the game at Oakland where he ran for 250+ yards.

Is Corey Dillon's jersey that is in the HOF where he ran for 278 yards a $6500 jersey? If they wanted to, the pro football could market the jersey and make a big deal about it and probably get $6500, but that is not a guarantee. Same with Adrian Peterson. Has any Adrian Peterson gamer sold for that much? I saw the LaDanian Thomlinson Jets jersey from his last NFL game that Mulligans has. Asking $15K, but I wonder if he'd take $6,000 for it?

Back to the Martin jersey. To me, paying $6700+ for that jersey (or really any running back) is like making a $1000 bet with these terms. If you lose the bet you lose all $1,000 and if you win the bet you walk away with $1025.

Like I said, that is the highest price that a Buccaneers jersey has ever sold for.

Re: NFL Auctions - Doug Martin Bucs jersey

"silveroak" won the Doug Martin shirt not ColinBJohnson. Silveroak has a very nice collection that includes multiple HOF shirts many of which are quite expensive. If this collector felt the need to pay such a high price I am sure there was a very good reason why.

If you want to get an idea of what silveroaks collection is like scroll through the NFL thread and you will find one post. It is a pretty nice shirt.

Re: NFL Auctions - Doug Martin Bucs jersey

His stuff is the newest, hottest stuff, and right now there isn't much of it out there, which are the factors driving this type of pricing. Even if he is fantastic for a number of years, the number of his game used jerseys on the market will only increase. If he's not good for a number of years, you basically have an Errict Rhett jersey. Definitely not the best buy regardless.

Re: NFL Auctions - Doug Martin Bucs jersey

I saw that as well. In the 14 years that I have collected Buccaneers game used items, that is the highest price a Bucs jersey has ever sold for. Steve Spurrier's 1976 inaugural game white jersey with ORANGE numbers and red trim sold for $2500 at grey flannel back in 2005. I saw Derrick Brooks sell a game jersey in 2006 directly on ebay for $1700. I paid $500 for a super bowl worn jersey, $700 for Adrian Clayborn's 9/11 tribute jersey... But $6500+ for Doug MArtin? One injury and that jersey is a $800 jersey at best. Cadillac Williams jersye topped out at $1700 at auction too one point. $6500? Can't you get a Barry Sanders and/or an Emmitt Smith for that price? Safe to say that Martin won't have the career those two guys had.

The same buyer ColinBJohnson - paid $900 for Quincy Black #58 - BCA Bucs jersey and paid $850 for D'Quan Bowers #91 - 9/11 tribute jersey. With that, he is pushing close to $10,000 within a month for 3 game used Bucs jerseys. He has yet to bid on something and not win. Seems a little odd to me.

Thankfully he didn't want to Michael Koenen Bucs London jersey I got a few weeks ago.

I know prices on NFL Auctions are often inflated but I can't believe that the Doug Martin Bucs jersey that ended last night went for $6,881. It went for $2K more then the Tony Gonzalez jersey did that he wore when he caught his 100th career TD.

If the Martin jersey had been worn in the game vs Oakland when he had 251 yards & 4 TD's I could almost understand that price but that final bid price is mind blowing to say the least.
