Question on value of MLB Debut/1st MLB hit game used items

Re: Question on value of MLB Debut/1st MLB hit game used items

Easily. Imagine how huge of a bidding war would ensue if Alex Rodriguez's first ANYTHING item showed up for sale (1st MiLB HR, MLB HR, MiLB hit, MLB hit, debuts, etc). While Gamel is nowhere near ARod, he has a huge following and will at worst be a solid MLB player.

I just see these items as extremely unique, due to the fact that while there will be many game used items down the line of this player, there will never be another MLB Debut or 1st MLB hit item. Besides, if I don't see a number I don't really like when trying to sell, I'd love to throw these items in the personal collection and just take a wait and see approach to his career.

Thanks for the insight guys.

Based on your GUU ID, does that mean you will be selling this item in the near future or are you a collector?

would 1st professional game (ie. first minor league game) have a premium as opposed to MLB debut? would you pay for it?

If you can find a big Gamel fan, I am sure they would pay a premium for it.

i have seen debut stuff for i think it was BJ Upton and his markup was a lot. i think it was lockerrroom authentic that had it. so yours is not the first out there that i know of.

I myself would love to get a milestone or FIRST of something if it was from a player on my favorite team. So yes I think there could be a little high value. It may not be a huge amount later, but yes it is a one of a kind so I would say it is more unique and special!

Re: Question on value of MLB Debut/1st MLB hit game used items

Have spoken with two of the big Brewers collectors, and we've talked numbers on the traditional game used items. It is not the pricing of the items I am confused about, it is simply the premium of the fact that the item was used in a "milestone" moment. I have never seen an MLB Debut/1st MLB hit bat before of any player on the market, which led to my post here asking what premium would apply in this situation.

We do have a few BIG BIG Brewers collectors, get one of their emails and they could give you price estimates and their thoughts.

Mat Gamel?
Never heard of him. if you like the jersey/bat and you think its a fare price then go ahead. You never know he may turn out to be someone. But i dont think it adds much value right now because he only has acouple of at-bats. But if he does turn into someone the value would go up more.

Apparently can't edit the posts. Screw it, player is Mat Gamel. Items used in MLB Debut and 1st MLB hit. Practically entire uniform and bat.

Re: Question on value of MLB Debut/1st MLB hit game used items

Well we need to know the details about it to give you the best idea of value. And depending on the player and we say the value is good then just buy it. I doubt the agent will see this post and change the price on you.

Re: Question on value of MLB Debut/1st MLB hit game used items

Last thing I need is the player's agent to stumble on this and change the pricing on me. Am just going to delete the post since it appears it is too hard for members here to even attempt to help without knowing every single detail.

Re: Question on value of MLB Debut/1st MLB hit game used items

Not looking for approximate values, am looking for premium compared to the standard game used items. Would it be worth 5x the amount of a regular game used item? 10x? Considering it is the only item of its kind, I have no idea as to what to even begin asking compared to the regular items. Thanks

Premium is still a value....

An average player and it would not make much of a difference....

Just tell us who the player is, it is not like someone is going to know where you are buying it from and take it away from you...

Personally, I would not waste my money on such an item. Especially since there is a lot of speculation with this ghost of a player....

Vague questions will get vague answers......
