Re: Favre Vikings jersey up for bid

...a Favre jersey to arguing stats about Sanchez.....what happened?

I have 2 words to help sum up over-rated rookies that people pay way too much for and will never see a profit from any of their investments - DEVIN HESTER! or BRADY QUINN! or DAVID CARR! or Sexy REX (GROSSMAN).

Sanchez will be no different.

Anyway, the Favre is now at $3500 - BEGINNING OF DAY 2.

Re: Favre Vikings jersey up for bid

Lastings,
Sanchez had 8 of his 10 ints in two games, he has had no turnovers in the last two games. If you count his 3 rushing tds, he has passed or thrown for more tds then INTS. He is on pace for almost 3,000 yards passing and 22 tds (run and pass) vs. 20 ints. Granted he is not going to a pro bowl anytime soon but for a 22 year old with only one year of college starting experiance that is pretty darn good. Consider also that he is on the number one rushing team in the NFL that features a back who was the AFC's leading rusher a year ago and that the Jets have had injury issues at receiver and he had to adjust to a newly acquired number 1 receiver a month into the year. As far as the Stafford comparison. In 5 games Stafford has 5 combined tds vs. 7 ints and just yesterday went 14 of 33 without a passing td in a loss to a team that had not won a game in over a year. Granted Stafford is 14 months younger, has battled an inujry that has caused him to miss a couple of games and is on a worse team but I do not see how he is better than Sanchez at this point in their careers. My point was that Sanchez has had a good start when compared with the starts that many hall of fame QBs had and that he has shown the potential to POSSIBLY become a star one day.

Re: Favre Vikings jersey up for bid

The Sanchez jersey could someday turn out to be a steal. He has played well for a rookie QB and he is only 22. Remember Elway, Aikman and countless other hall of famers and pro bowlers in their rookie years? They were much worse than Sanchez's. Favre's rookie year was spent sitting on the bench in Atlanta. That being said what would the first jersey that Elway, Aikman, Favre, etc. ever wore in a regular season game go for? Probably well over 50k. So for someone who has the ability to absorb the loss if instead he becomes Akili Smith or Cade McNown it is a solid investment.

I also think the Favre is a risky investment since JO is bringing other gamers onto the market from this year, the jersey in question appears barely used and Favre is 40 coming off a disaster finish to last season with the Jets that began 8-3 and included upsets of the Pats and the previously undefeated Titans. What would a Favre Jets jersey go for? My guess is alot less than it would have gone for on November 2, 2008. But then if the Vikings win the Super Bowl, Brett wins Super Bowl MVP and then retires (making it a jersey from his last season) the jersey is a great investment. That being said the jerseys on NFL auctions seem to always sell for alot. (A Leon Washington for example is about to sell for over $2,500). So my guess is between 10 and 20k and it won't be sold to a Packers or Jets fan.

He has played well for a rookie??? Are you kidding me, he throws more pics than tds. He is a college qb playing in the NFL. He is no Matthew Stafford, and probably will never be. That being said Sanchez could become a dominate qb (I just don't see it happening). Anyway, if the NFL doesn't work out for Sanchez he could join the Fridge on 4th of July for Nathan's hot dog eating contest.

Re: Favre Vikings jersey up for bid

selling hyped rookies at hyped prices has been going on ever since sports fans began trying to turn their weekend relaxation into "investments". with the hype built into them, the prices already assume the rookie will become the next first-ballot HOFer so any upward potential has already been gobbled up by the dealer. if it was such a great investment with so much potential, why would the dealer be selling it? if the sanchez had so much potential upswing why wouldn't jarrod keep it for himself and realize the windfall? dealers are only too happy to sell because they realize that there's very little upside left after the grossly-inflated, hyped rookie price.

if something is truly a great investment, it'll usually attract a lot of attention. how many buyers plunked down $20k for the sanchez? 15? 20? or 1? was there a bidding war for the sanchez?

i've seen more players fizzle after a strong rookie season than go on to become first-ballot HOFers. this isn't a theory. i've seen it happen over and over for the past 20 yrs. it's how dealers make their money. ask any kid who ever loaded up on (insert hyped rookie of the year) because dealers convinced them "it was a great investment". it was a great investment..for the dealers.

"That being said what would the first jersey that Elway, Aikman, Favre, etc. ever wore in a regular season game go for? Probably well over 50k."

apples and oranges. back in 1979 (montana) or 1983 (elway) or even 1989 (aikman) you didn't have teams and leagues deliberately producing as many gamers as possible for the sake of resale. many steiner shirts refer to the week or month it was used. week or month! i remember when a player would use 1 shirt for half the season. now they're intentionally pumping them out like krispy kremes just to cash in. how many sanchez shirts will JOSports pump out in 2009? conversely, how many montana shirts did the 49ers release to the public in 1979? a $50k montana price would be due to the scarcity. there will be no scarcity of sanchez shirts for years to come so even in the remote chance sanchez becomes the next montana, his gamers will never be as valuable.

what used to be a hunt has now simply turned into selecting the game from which you want a jersey and then placing your order. the hobby has turned teams and leagues into game-used factories. in the 70s, a ball player might use 3 or 4 shirts total in a season. nowadays they're using 10+. you don't think increasing the supply 3x+ over is going to put a heavy anchor around the upward potential of modern pieces? there will be very little in the way of future returns because places like steiner and JO have already juiced most of it out for themselves. look, steiner is currently selling a 2009 jeter jersey for $15k. long after jeter makes the HOF, you won't see a lick of profit from that thing. instead, he'll retire and quickly fade from current interest as fans move on to the next superstar. as interest fades, the price won't have anything to cause it to increase (after all, unlike older shirts, supply is no longer an issue). if i had a griffey rookie gamer, i'd likely have made more money selling it in 1996 than now when noone even talks about him anymore because they're too busy watching pujols. even if sanchez pans out, he likely won't be able to do nearly enough for that shirt to return a decent profit (in inflation-adjusted dollars).

Re: Favre Vikings jersey up for bid

This has to be from the Rams game. The only two away games they played were at the Rams and at the Steelers and JOSPORTSCO got the Steelers jersey.

Yep, must be from Rams game. Also, they have turf so makes sense no dirt stains on the jersey. here is shot from Rams game.

Re: Favre Vikings jersey up for bid

I'm with you brother - its between the seller and the buyer.

I'm not asking for the person's name and address. I just think it's good to know what people are paying for gamers. With auctions, it's pretty easy to see what the selling price is. If there is a gamer for sale, and lets say the price is $5k, wouldn't you want to know that it sold for $3.5k? So that the next time a similar one comes up, you know what the ballpark value is? Also, maybe you wanted to spend $3.5k, but not $5k. Wouldn't you also want to know that you could obtain a certain gamer for that price, and not a higher price? I don't see how this is unlike real estate? People may put a $1mm price tag on their home, but that doesn't mean it's worth $1mm. Wouldn't you want to know if the home sold for $750k, so that you could price a comparable home?? I don't think collecting should be unlike real estate. Like I said earlier, I don't care who/what bought the item, but I feel like it's good to know the value of current items and what the market can sustain.

Re: Favre Vikings jersey up for bid

I agree if someone would really pay $20,000 for Sanchez.I would say $30,000 for Farve would be a steal.

The Sanchez was he first regular season debut jersey. That showed nice wear. If you looked at the game pictures on getty, some rock solid photo matches were dead one for the jersey. I think this really helped in getting top dollar for it.

So what games did the Vikings play in October where Favre would have pink C patch on? I haven't looked, but i'd try and pin point the location of C patch and another placement with numbers logos ect on this jersey with game pictures. I'm sure by the end of auction it will be easy to figure out what game it came from.

Re: Favre Vikings jersey up for bid

seeing it is for charity...i think this jersey will far surpass any guess...wouldnt be surprised to see 30K or even higher....these items usually dont sell to guu collectors....it will be a tax write off for some multi millionaire...that is my guess

and it dont mean for that to be taken as a bad thing....i hope it raises a ton for a great cause

Re: Favre Vikings jersey up for bid

Would be nice if they said what game the Favre was worn in. Was it washed? Anyone know if he is switching jerseys at half.
I'll guess 8k for it. If it was photo matched, documented what game it was from then i'd say over 10k.

The Sanchez sale price is really nobodies business. If buyer wants to say, good for them.

Yea, I want to know what game it's from. JO seems to have gotten a lot of them, so the NFL auctions one can't be used for more than 1 game I'd think, no??
Plus you see what I noticed in that the jersey looks way too clean?? I hate that, I want unwashed ones with some rips, stains and dirt on my NFL jerseys haha...

My guess is with or without photomatching, the jersey is going to go for big bucks..

I'll say $14,200
