I had no real idea about it's worh but have been told that it is based on these factors:

-only a handful of 1960's Packers's gamers have ever come up
-he is classified as a "major star" as opposed to a common player (HOF players jerseys from GB and from the era have sold recently around $14K and commons for up to $8K
-home green is more desirable than road white
-Max's super bowl 1 story and his 20 year career as a packer radio commetator (post playing career) have endeared him in GB, immensely
-a McGee game jersey has never reached auction before
-packers Hall of fame doesn't have one

I have had a $5K and a $6K offer privately already.

Who knew?!
