One of the most common questions we receive from our customers is why some items are priced differently than others. In this posting we will specifically discuss replica versus authentic jerseys.
Since most autographed jerseys are meant to be framed & displayed not worn, it isn't worth the the additional cost of a branded jersey like a Nike or Adidas. What most companies do is manufacture a replica blank jersey with the appropriate team colors & stitch the athletes name and number on the jersey. When the jersey is framed nobody will really be able to tell the difference. replica jerseys are custom stitched with no name brand or logo, the size is typically adult XL. They can be worn but are intended to be framed or displayed.
An example would be a signed Bo Jackson jersey. An authentic Nike Oakland Raiders Bo Jackson jersey alone is priced at $150 - $200. An autographed authentic Nike Oakland Raiders Bo Jackson jersey would retail for about $299 - $350. That is a higher price than most people want to pay since custom framing an cost anywhere from $250 - $350 depending on quality & options. You would be looking at $550 - $600 for a professional framed authentic Nike Oakland Raiders authentic signed jerseys Bo Jackson jersey
A replica Oakland Raiders Bo Jackson jersey sells for $199, you can have a professionally framed man-cave centerpiece for under $450.00
