If you purchase a jersey of a modern player, unless the player is or turns out to be a real standout, I wouldn't expect much appreciation in value (assuming purchased at market value to begin with). In fact, I think many of the everyday-player GU jerseys bought in team stores today will likely depreciate in value as they are more valuable at the moment, when a given player is of current interest, than they will be in the future when interest turns to the new players of the day.
I think this applies to turn back the clock jerseys as well. There may be a limited number of TBTC style jerseys that are exceptions -- such as (I would think) the Astros rainbow jerseys, which seem to be pretty desirable.
