When I said .. So 300k? That was a reply to the one who said the jersey would be twice that of the bat that just sold. I agree it is high.

I live & breath the Boston Red Sox, that being said, nothing scares me more with the game on the line than Jeter poking one of his classic opposite field singles to score the 2 go-ahead runs. His stats alone make him a HOF player, nevermind the leadership, class, staying squeaky clean in his personal life, being the kind of man any father would want his son to be. I can't say why his items command such incredible amounts of money, that's just the market and the growing popularity of game used items maybe. I love this debate and seeing the back & forth, but Jeter is a legend. Period.

And who do I wanna see up with the game on the line? For 11 years David Ortiz has been making me ask "How many times can he come through?!?!" And yes, that comes with bias but I also mean it if I step away from the Boston roots.

Dont ge me wrong, I am not putting Jeter down.

I just can't see why his items command such high $. Significantly more than any other modern player. Especially compare to guys like Griffey, Frank Thomas, etc..

Re: Platinum Jeter Auction, Is it worth the $$$

Just my opinion, but did Jeter every win a AL MVP?

At any point could you say he was the best player in the game or even the best shortstop in the game?

WS Rings had a lot to do with being on a great team... Put Jeter on any other team and he is not the same Jeter.

I remeber a poll from other major leaguers and Jeter was considered by his peers as the most over rated players in the game.

I don't even think I would consider him as one of the top 5 all time Yankees.

So for his memorabilia to even reach Ruth, Mantle, Dimaggio, etc... is crazy...

The first of any players jersey or helmet or shoes or hat or whatever would be a great item to have.
Nothing else could ever satisfy you.

And about Jeter being great, I know he was a great overall player. I am stat guy and am always refining and going over them. Jeter is a HOF player and that is all I need to know.
