how much would this be worth?

[zaibatsu]

firstly theres no way in hell id ever sell it, but i got given a balmain tigers jersey today by my uncle (80's i assume), it was one that balmain used to wear in the mid week night competition (from what ive been told the design wasnt for sale in shops.. but im not 100% sure of that), its in mint condition and fully signed by the entire team, including masella, sironen, garry jack, will robinson, tim brasher, brooks etc even alan jones signed it.
my uncle got it when working in sydney yeaaaaaars ago, he was good mates with brooks and he got it made up for him, he gave it to me today and im absolutely wrapped!!!!!!

like i said i wouldnt sell it on a cold day in hell but what do youse think this may be worth? probably not much but im just inquisitive....
he also gave me a tigers training shirt signed by the team that brooks also got for him and it is also in mint condition with the same signatures.

thanks for any help guys!

About $150-$250 I'd say. Depends how desperate someone is for it. Thats the beauty of auctions.

yah. I'd say about $200.

It depreciated severely as soon as you mentioned Jonesy. :lol:

The players you have mentioned that have signed the jersey would date it to the very early 90's, not the 80's. The midweek cup last ran in 1989, then changed to the Toheys pre-season challenge in 1990 and I think 1991, so it may be from that competition?? Can you describe the design of this jersey? I can't remember any special edition jerseys from that time. Maybe its the standard jersey with 2 black v's.
As for what its worth, hard to say. Better to just keep it, and be proud of it!

yeah mate im not sure of the year he didnt tell me im just guessing late 80's, could be early 90's as u said. the sigs i can recognise are brooks, tim brasher, steve roach, gary jack, martin masella, will robinson, paul sironen, alan jones, ben elias and theres 6 more that i cant recognise
the jersey is the really old orange design with the big black V on the front with the traditional balmain tigers badge and nswrl badge, it has a phillips logo on the top back of it and the signatures are below that all over the back of it, the front has a huge "Phillips TV" logo on it, much bigger than the logo on my old phillips jersey design which just had "Phillips" on the front as well. like i said before i dont know for sure if u couldnt buy the design thats just what i was told so i dont know how reliable that info is..

anyway thanks for the replies guys

get it framed... that would increase its value markedly.

will cost you around $350 for a good frame and for it to look tops.. but its worth it.

If you can remove the stain that is the Jones signature it could be worth something!

However - it was certainly not from the heyday of the Tigers - and represents a team that was well and truly on the slide at that stage! (Thanks solely to one A. Jones)!!!
