To keep or not to keep??

Re: To keep or not to keep??

If you are collecting common players for an investment you are throwing your money in the trash. Common players are sometimes desired by fans of a certain team or in some cases by people who collect that player but other than that the demand is not that great for such players and it is hard to find a buyer for each items except at a very low price especially once the player retires and is forgotten.

Re: To keep or not to keep??

Since my collecting is focused on ex-University of Hawaii football players, most of my jerseys would be categorized as commons and wouldn't increase in value anyway. The main thing for me is the nostalgia of owning jersey of a player I saw play in college. Just collecting for personal enjoyment and not as an investment.

OK, so here is a question to all the GU collectors out there.

We all have items we want to hang on to, for either sentimental reasons or for the fact that we like a player, team or year, etc.

But how long should you hang onto stuff that is from a "common" or "average" player?

Is there ever the chance that their GU gear is gonna be worth more than you paid for it?
