How much is a Warren Spahn Braves jersey worth?

Answer 1

The value would be determined by whether or not it is a store bought, game issued, or game used jersey, and if it is game used your ability to prove so. The "Braves jersey" could also be a Boston Braves, or Milwaukee Braves, home or away jersey. This will be a factor as well.

A store bought jersey or a throwback jersey would have no collectors value, and would be valued accordingly. Store bought and throwback jerseys could sell for of about $60.-$100. unused. Once used it would be valued as second hand clothing. A Warren Spahn Game worn jersey in general could sell in the $1,000. -$3,000. price range or more if accompanied by the proper paperwork and provenance. The absence of acceptable documentation linking the jersey to Warren Spahn will bring a much lower price, and will have to be identified by the proper tagging, and company shipping records. The jersey would need to be authenticated by a reputable company like MEARS. The quality of provenance accompanying the game used Jersey will dictate the bulk of the value. A strong letter of provenance linking it to a historic game or year could have much added value. Provenance is the documentation of the history of ownership of a particular item. It allows the buyer to secure additional insight as to the origin or chain of custody of the item. the provenance must come from a verifiable source. For example, a letter that comes from a source like a player, team executive, family member could have great impact while jerseys that originate from a particular collection or comes with letters from a spectator may not be given much weight, if any.
