In terms of value though, do you feel that the Jordan jerseys specifically add or decrease value? For the most part, I see the brand being neutral to value if it’s just an off-field signed item. Meaning, if it’s not an authentic jersey…it’s not an authentic jersey. I would care more about liking the style, color, throwback, etc. My general rule of thumb for a piece you really care about (especially more expensive items) is to buy the true on-field jersey and you can’t go wrong. If that happens to be Jordan brand then go with Jordan. Reebok…go with Reebok and so on. In fact, it’s the only type I would purchase personally to avoid this very topic we are discussing. Even if it’s a Jordan piece, I would want the jersey he wore on the court; not Jordan brand. I can’t think of any situation where I would seek out a certain brand to be signed over another brand…can you?
As a side note, many people don’t realize that a lot of the signed jerseys out there are just terrible quality all around. If you see a jersey described as ‘custom’ – stay away! This is more often than not their way of saying the jersey is not authentic. I won’t drop any names but the auction sites are almost always some cheap jersey they found on the secondary market which is nowhere near the quality of what they are wearing on the field. This misleading selling technique is an easy way for these auction sites to boost their margins. And they usually come framed so a casual collector might not think much of it. I learned the hard way. This is just my humble opinion.
