Re: Derek Jeter GU bat price??? Insane

Im a die hard rangers collector so other teams players dont interest me. Jeter and Pujols are about the only two players id consider adding to my collection if the chance arose.

Re: Derek Jeter GU bat price??? Insane

The Jeter market is crazy he is far from the best player in the game and other than Ichiro and his rich Pacific Rim fans noone commands those kind of prices. You wouldn't even get 3 grand for a Pujols bat most likely. I got a Rickey Henderson bat for 350 bucks yesterday and to me he was better than Jeter so I cannot see spending near 3 grand. Think about all the superstars you could get for that price. Easily four-six of top players for price of one Jeter. Plus they are far from rare there are alot on the market. To prove this point how many people in this forum have one? How many people have a Pujols or a Mauer or a Ryan Howard? I predict much less have any of the later group. I got my Jeter for 900 and change off Ebay 1.5 years ago. A fellow forum member was the seller and he had a couple more none of which topped $1,500. Mine went so cheap because some idiot repaired the crack and "cleaned" it removing all but traces of the pine tar but it is still Steiner certified with indicia of Game Use (ball marks, etc.).

Re: Derek Jeter GU bat price??? Insane

one of the benefits of supporting a mediocre team for the last two decades. I wish i had your guys rings, but im glad i dont have to pay yalls prices.

Well you have had ALOT of really good players to collect at least.

Re: Derek Jeter GU bat price??? Insane

I'm curious how do Jeter items get priced, is it through him, Steiner, the Yankees? I have a friend who thinks it's outrageous Jeter charges $500 for signed photographs, but I told him it's not all Jeter's command and other parties are involved. though I'm not entirely sure if that is correct, can someone clarify?

Re: Derek Jeter GU bat price??? Insane

If you think it's bad now, wait until he beaks 3000 hits. If I'm not mistaken he'll be the first player to do it while in Yankee pinstripes. I doubt you'll be able to find anything under $2500 then. I bought a Steiner signed gamer with very nice use and uncracked for $1100 or $1200 a little over a year ago.

Yup he will be the first. The only other guys who got 3,000 hits and played a signifcant portion of their career with the Yanks were I believe Winfield and Henderson. Boggs played for them for a bit as well. Nobody got there in a Yankee uniform and none of the guys who played for the Yanks dons a Yank cap on his hall plaque so Jeter will be the first "Yankee" to do it. Which is downright amazing when you consider that Ruth, Gehrig, Mantle and Dimaggio did not get there but yet Paul Molitor and Craig Biggio did.

I think it is a combination of both Jeter and Steiner. Jeter's contract with Steiner says he gets X and Steiner uses that, their other costs i.e. storage, buying the items that he signs and advertising and the profit they would like to make off of each item to set a price.

Re: Derek Jeter GU bat price??? Insane

I really would like to own a jeter bat and i know that i will one day. But i think anything over 1K is crazy for one of his bats, i mean like legal said you can get so many other bats for the price of one of his. What do you guys think will happen once he retires? will the demand go down because hes not in the spotlight anymore? Idk I have so many yankee bats, arod, cano, posada, bernie, sheffield, swisher and i dont have the captain, i guess ill just have to wait and see. Ill be the one posting a "finaly got my jeter" thread in the future...... i hope

Re: Derek Jeter GU bat price??? Insane

about the only rangers players whose bats currently command over 400 each is old arod rangers bats. With the exception of pink bats most are low priced. We do have a guy named elvis andrus, who will probably be looking good in pinstripes in about four more years. lol.

Re: Derek Jeter GU bat price??? Insane

about how many game used Jeter bats a season are made available for sale?

That number is a mystery but you can imagine how many bats he uses in a season, id say 50+ on the low side... how many he gives away to people and how many are made for sale is in the air. But its a lot for sure, its not like jeter uses 5 bats per season, thats the only way i would pay so much for a gamer.

What about Vlad and Hamilton, MLB certified bats of them when you can find them go for over that. Hamilton went for 600 on Mlb auctions last year.

Derek collects so he keeps alot of his stuff and trades it to other players for their stuff. I know he and Pujols and he and Ichiro have swaped bats in the past for collectible purposes.

you probably saw this already at the top of the forum but Steiner and GameUsedUniverse will be having a best offer program soon, perhaps you could submit one for a Jeter bat and see if they might accept!
