Possible 1986 Gooden Jersey

Re: Possible 1986 Gooden Jersey

The one TNT purchased is photo matched to World Series game 2. That's the only home game Gooden pitched in the Series. The one in Mears shows heavy use, which is odd for a playoff jersey that could have only been worn for one start in the NLCS and not at all in the Series. I would be sceptical about that amount of heavy use on a little worn jersey that might not have been pitched in. I have several '86 mets jerseys from the regular season that don't have that much number puckering. Is it possible, surebut I would question it at the very least.

Rob,
Could you show the photo-match? Because the game 2 photo I saw, the pinstripe and the S looks different between the game photo and the jersey photo.

Don't worry, you will most likely see this jersey being offered by one of the major auction houses very soon.

This jersey just sold on proxibid

An update on the Gooden jersey...

So that everyone can rest easy, this jersey did not sell for $340.00. I contacted the auction company afterwards, and was informed that the jersey failed to meet a hidden reserve.

Upon hearing that the jersey did not sell, I made a generous offer on the jersey, and the owner accepted.

Re: Possible 1986 Gooden Jersey

Yeah, I didn't mean it as an attack on the persons character. Just like Commando mentioned they lost out on money they could have made offering it through a more appropriate auction house.

I don't think it's right to call the seller a loser. The auction seems to normally just sell coins, so maybe a local collector passed away and the family just send the stuff to local. Plus it wasn't being sold as game used, they also had a Jose C jersey from his rookie year that sold for $300 but it was clearly a replica.

This is the first time game used jerseys have shown up on this site. Most of the time the baseball stuff is either cards or fake autos.

I knew I should have bid, I would have won it. Also for all we know the buyer thinks its just a signed jersey.

I think the context of that statement was that the original seller did not receive the amount of money they could have, had they listed the jersey with a more appropriate auction venue.... They "lost" out on some cash.

Agreed.

I was thinking that too but then that brings up the next question. With such a potentially such a valuable jersey why wouldnt you take it to a more recognized auction place? I mean its not that hard to find one. Ebay at the very least would of brought in more money. Grey Flannel, Lelands, Huggins & Scott, etc.....
