NBA Finals jerseys

Re: NBA Finals jerseys

I think it has something to do with seeing JT in the auction room. Some bidders in Game 1 might bid toe-to-toe with JT just for the heck of jacking-up the price, especially those who might get frustrated that they are losing every jersey that they are after.

Then, when they get tired of doing it for the first few jerseys, they stop, because they know that JT will win them anyways. So, JT is able acquire those jerseys ending at a later time for a lower price.

Then, for Game 3, when they see that JT is not around, they get motivated and try to outbid the other bidders, thinking that this time they have a shot at winning the item.

I think the true value of these awesome game-worn memorabilia can be measured more accurately when JT is not trying to get almost all superstars or key players' jerseys. Well, this just my opinion based on my observation.

When I saw JT not bidding on the Fisher jersey and saw that it might just land in the $3000-$4000 range, I got frustrated, because if I had only known, then I would have saved the money I spent for Lee in game 1 and not also buy the Alston game 3....and just use those money and add some more to get the Fisher jersey that I have been chasing after for a long time now. I decided to just go for whatever jersey JT wasn't touching in game 1, because I was thinking that he will also be interested in the game 3 jerseys.

Oh well, maybe next time, when it's not a Finals jersey and maybe when he is about to retire. A lot of the collectors noticed Fisher maybe just because of his recent heroics, but I don't know if they would have fought tooth and nail for his jersey if he continued his slump. I was so mad when he drilled those 3 pointers in game 4, because I said to myself that most collectors will now want his finals jersey just because of those shots.

Re: NBA Finals jerseys

Yeah, I saw a couple of you guys in the auction tonight. JT placed a bid only once for the Kobe jersey.

I wanted the Rashard too, since I have his warm-up shirt, but the price just gone too high.

Congrats!!!

Yes, I saw you guys, as well. It's a regular group of us at this point. I love the Nelson and am excited to get it, but I may have to use it as trade bait for one of the players I collect.

I was really surprised by some of the prices (both high and low) and how different some of the prices were this time around, versus the Game 1 jersey round. For example, the Farmar road sold for over three times the Farmar home (the Lakers won Game 1 at home but lost Game 3 in Orlando). Hard to figure that one.

Re: NBA Finals jerseys

Congrats guys on your pick-up's tonight! Yea, I ended up with the Rashard Lewis Game 3 jersey tonight and was surprised mr. 'jtnbafan' didn't snag up everything.
I notice he did win the Dwight Howard Game 3 jersey tonight (cuz I bidded on it several times!), but interesting he didn't even bid/win the Kobe Bryant jersey?! shocker! lol..

I was combing a lot of the jerseys tonight and noticed a lot of different winners, so great that everyone got a chance to get something! That's the way it should be

Re: NBA Finals jerseys

I got the Rafer Alston game 3 jersey in tonight's auction. I also got Courtney Lee's game 1 jersey last Thursday. They were both traded to the Nets earlier and I am a Season Ticket Holder
I'll check with my account manager if it's okay to ask them to sign the jerseys in one of the STH events even if these are Magic jerseys.

Ruel, congrats. Both are very nice pick-ups. Somehow, I was able to land Jameer Nelson's Finals Game 3 jersey tonight for $1040. His first home finals jersey, the only Finals game the Magic won, and it's photomatched by the pinstripes. Never would have thought that I even had a chance with my bid.

Re: NBA Finals jerseys

I'm assumming you are talking about my post.Thanks,i did'nt feel like reading 7 pages to see if he addressed that question.I guess laziness.So thanks for ansewering my questions.

If you go back and read earlier in this post, Barry answers those questions for you. Basically, yes, the ones who say first half only are the only players who changed at halftime, the others wore the same jersey the whole game. But if you want to read the list and a couple more details, just find his post earlier in this thread.

Re: NBA Finals jerseys

I hope I win the lottery before 06/25, so I can go for the Kobe and Fish...he he he

I was surprised that the Dwight Howard was under $8K.....I thought it will go at least $15K.

I think what hurt the prices of the Magic jerseys beside them losing the Finals is that bidders got discouraged of winning the Magic's key players. The Lakers jerseys were scheduled for end of auction ahead of the Magic's, instead of both team's ending side by side.

I know that Fish hit those BIG shots in game 4 and is in the winning team, but does his jersey really cost more than Dwight's?

Re: NBA Finals jerseys

I got the Courtney Lee for $1,002, I don't think that's cheap I would have loved to get the other jerseys, but I stepped back as soon as I see JT bid on them. I was going back and forth whether to bid on the Lee or the Walton when I saw JT had no bid on them..ended up going for Courtney Lee's.

great pickup! probably other bidders weren't as interested with Lee's jersey because he will best be remembered for his missed layup in Game 2 that could have changed the tide of the Finals. Did anyone else here win a jersey?

Re: NBA Finals jerseys

$15,000....$5,000....$100,000

it doesnt matter, jtnbafan is going home with all of them.

I think prices for these jerseys have been going really low, and it is bc people realize you just cant win and are not bidding.

Re: NBA Finals jerseys

Thanks,i just went on there and looked at them.Man that jt sure is rich.I wish i was that person or knew that person.Yeah,that walton went at a somewhat reasonable price ,i guess.Not reasonable to me,but as far as game used items go.The one question i have for barry if he comes back on here.And thats,i noticed that the odam (and some of the magic)say first half only.Well what happen to the second half jerseys? Are you guys not selling them.And does that mean that players like kobe did'nt change jerseys? And he and the others wore just that one jersey the whole game.just wondering.

pretty reasonable
