Re: NBA Finals jerseys

Hi Barry,

I'm interested in bidding on one of the Lakers road jerseys from Game 3, do you know if the letter from NBA Entertainment and MeiGray will state the final score of the game? Thank you.

Good luck in the bidding everybody,

Re: NBA Finals jerseys

sportscentury, you can just google the terms, usually I put in "NBA Auctions" and the player name/year/event. Unfortunately, not all listings from way back are available, I was trying to look for some of the 2007 NBA Finals jerseys final prices but haven't come up with any hits. Most if not all the Finals jerseys from last year should be on search engines though. Hope this helps!

Thank you. I thought maybe I was missing a search mechanism on NBA Auctions (I wish the website made all previous auctions available).

Re: NBA Finals jerseys

By the way, I have what is likely a stupid question for you: How do you find NBA Auctions from that far back? I often click on the "Recently Sold Items" icon, but it doesn't seem to go but a couple of months back. How do you find NBA Auctions from years past? Thanks in advance for the help. You can email me at rgf2@hotmail.com if you prefer.

Re: NBA Finals jerseys

The Kobe jersey is already at $10K+ and to think that the high rollers have not entered their bids yet. They usually arrive when the auction is about to end.

I have predicted before the jerseys were posted that the Kobe jersey will go for $35K this year.

Re: NBA Finals jerseys

Mbenga: Holy cow. Those are some serious winning bids. If the home Kobe from last year sold for $25,020, then even your prediction for this year's home Kobe may be a good bit low. Mine will likely be blown out of the water ($15,000 seems like a silly prediction after seeing last year's prices).

Re: NBA Finals jerseys

hi sportscentury, enclosed is the link to Kobe's road jersey from Game 1 of last year's Finals (this was also worn in Game 2 as well).

http://auctions.nba.com/cgi-bin/ncommerce3/ProductDisplay?prrfnbr=&prmenbr=51136034&aunbr=95196278

because of Kobe's performance in Game 1 his best in any Finals games he's played in thus far, and if the Lakers go on to win the title, I wouldn't be surprised to see the gold home jersey sell for at least 25,000.00$ USD.

Re: NBA Finals jerseys

considering Kobe's historical performance in Game 1, I wouldn't be surprised to see this go for even more than the prices his jerseys sold for in last year's Finals.

Mbenga -- well, they lost last year. If the Lakers continue to play like they did in Game 1, then I would expect this year's would go for considerably more (the difference in historical significance would be enormous if the Lakers win it all this year). What did last year's Kobe Game 1 jersey go for? And what is your prediction for this year's?

Re: NBA Finals jerseys

Kobe up over $10,000 already. I predicted $15,000 to another GUU member when the jerseys were first posted. Perhaps I underestimated it.

Re: NBA Finals jerseys

RMSportsfan,

It is because our agreement calls for us to get one set of home and one set of road jerseys from both teams in the Finals.

Re: NBA Finals jerseys

Hello Barry,

Why only the first-half jerseys and not make both jerseys available to give more people the opportunity to own these awesome jerseys?

Do the players keep the other jersey for remembrance?

Thanks!
