Jerseys – A Roger Maris Baseball Jersey Sold for How
Much?
The value of Major League Baseball or
MLB jerseys is very
subjective. It really
depends on the jersey’s condition, the season or event it
represents, and most importantly, the player.
If the MLB jersey is autographed, it can increase the value
tremendously.
But what it all boils down to is this – How much is
someone willing to pay for the jersey!
Here is the perfect example:
A baseball jersey worn by Roger Maris during his
record-breaking 61st home run was sold at auction recently
to a collector. Maris
supposedly wore this jersey on October 1, 1961 against the Boston Red
Sox at Yankee Stadium.
It was the last game of the season for the Yankees and it
was “DO or Die” for Roger Maris.
He had 60 home runs going into the game and needed one more to
beat the Babes’ record. The
rest was history!
Believe it or not, Roger Maris’ MLB jersey sold for --
$302,000!
This is one of the top five highest bids for a baseball
jersey and the highest for a non Hall of Fame player.
As a side note, one of Maris’ teammates, Mickey Mantle,
also made history with a bat that he used in 1951, his rookie year.
The bat was uncovered in a Tulsa, Oklahoma in the closet of an
avid sports fan. It is
the only certified bat from Mantle’s rookie season.
Selling Price -- $111,551!
MLB jerseys representing a special player, a
special time in his career, or a historic baseball event, can be priceless. So why
not check out that closet or your baseball memorabilia box for that
forgotten MLB souvenir. You may be able to join those collectors
who are cashing in on the sports memorabilia craze.
