How do i put a value on a rare jersey?

Re: How do i put a value on a rare jersey?

The 1994 49ers wore the regular non throwback road whites once during the year to my knowledge, that was the game against the Chiefs. The other possibilities would be 10/9 at Lions or 11/28 at Saints. I thought after the Eagles beat them they didn't wear the regular jerseys anymore. A 49er expert can chime in here. The other possibility would be wearing two jerseys for the Chiefs game or the preseason

9/5 Raiders (home red)
9/11 @Chiefs (white away)
9/18 @Rams (red throwbacks)
9/25 Saints (red throwbacks)
10/2 Eagles (home red)
10/9 @Lions ?
10/16 @Falcons (white throwbacks)
10/23 Bucs (red throwbacks)
10/30 bye
11/6 @Redskins (red throwbacks)
11/13 Cowboys (red throwbacks)
11/20 Rams (red throwbacks)
11/28 @Saints ?
12/4 Falcons (red throwbacks)
12/11 @Chargers (white throwbacks)
12/17 Broncos (red throwbacks)
12/26 @Vikings (white throwbacks)

Re: How do i put a value on a rare jersey?

Thanks for that tip Nicacs, is he a huge collector or a huge fan? I am looking for the huge Steve Young fan, not the huge collector. I need the huge fan who can go through hell (Modesto) and back to be able to tell this forum a great story next week, maybe one that will start a new wave of excitement across the bay that the 49ers need right now. Will he fly into Portland tomorrow, pick me and the jersey up and dirve us 100MPH down the 5 to the Riverbank area where Curt's ranch is? A fan would to hear the story personally from Curt. Would Paul drive to Curt's dealerships in Escalon, Manteca and Modesto looking for him if he wasn't at his ranch? A fan would so he could hear Steve tell the story on Curt's speaker phone. I thank you for the tip Nicacs but i am in need of a fan that wants to take a shot at the once in a lifetime chance at digging up some personal sports nuggets of Steve's past, not some commercial collector that has no passion for the truth of it all. There is something very special here, if you have eyes to see it Nic, ask yourself why, why this jersey? Steve could have given him any jersey (and has), why this one? There is a huge mystery i believe waiting to be reported here for the doubter out there. Does this fan sound like Paul? If so have him call our Skype number and I will give him the address, David 541-412-6726

This is perhaps the strangest post I've ever read on GUU. I hope the proof of the pudding is in the eating and we all become privy to some great Steve Young stories. I'm excited to learn more.

Re: How do i put a value on a rare jersey?

Out of curiosity, does the jersey show any use? Piling on the numbers?

There are too many team issued jerseys floating around with great letters...

I've even owned one myself...

Re: How do i put a value on a rare jersey?

A preseason jersey would typically be worth less than one used during the regular season. Regarding the amount of use present, this shirt is unlikely to show much wear, as Young probably didn't play the entire game.... Maybe someone can dig up a video of the game, or a box score. I know the Niners lost to the Cards 17 - 7, and I'm wondering how much time rookie QB Elvis Grbac (and any other QB hopefuls) spent on the field that day.

After seeing this post, I change my opinion on the value of the jersey. I'd say $3500. The reason is that game used items should carry provenance of their own merit. If there are photos or videos showing a player in the jersey, that's terrific. If the value of the jersey is driven entirely by who owned it, as opposed to who wore it, the market for the jersey changes significantly. No longer would you have die-hard collectors bidding it out for a "grail" piece of history. Instead, you'd have fans who might be willing to shell out $20k at a charity auction, but wouldn't spend more than $1000 outside of that setting (where they'd get some degree of recognition and connection to the team).

It also doesn't help matters, at all, that it's a pre-season jersey. After all, I doubt collectors (or fans, to use your target audience) are willing to over-pay for a shirt that Young wore while holding a clipboard on the sideline.

The 49ers wore their home red jerseys for the 8/5/94 game vs. the Cardinals. I found an image from the Santa Ana County Register from the next day that illustrates that.

This is a huge red flag to me... another member offers up SolarLottery's contact info (after this guy has asked for info on people who might know more) and then the poster turns around and asks the board to have SL 'Skype' or Call him instead of the poster just reaching out to SL.

Weird to say the least.

I would never drive 100 mph down any road while towing a sailboat.

---Plus it would be a rental car b/c you would have to fly into PDX and pick him and the jersey up. Do rental cars have trailer hitch?

The "G" looks different compared to the Goldin jersey.

It would have to be a truck or SUV, then maybe. Hertz at PDX has Chevy Tahoes, that would handle it fine. And I would buy the optional insurance that they always offer if I were undertaking that mission. I still don't think it's safe, though.
