Default Cards vs. Memorabilia

Posted By: Dean H

A few years ago I thought about getting into memorabilia and did buy a Game used jersey of Roger Clemens. After getting it, looking at it for a while I kept thinking, how can anybody know for sure this is a "game used" jersey. Bottom line for me is I just don't have faith in game used items. I know my example is for modern equipment but I think it translates over to vintage as well to some degree. Unless there is rock solid documentation, which makes the price, rightfully so, skyrocket, on the item then it's almost impossible to know if you have what you "think" you have. I could be wrong but I just could not develop a level of trust to get into that areana. I know cards can be manipulated as well, but I have a much more comfort level with them. I'm sure glad I sold my Clemens Jersey for what I paid for it a couple years ago.
