If you saw the Sports Reporters on ESPN this morning, you know how much publicity Goldin Auctions is getting for the post 9/11 Mike Piazza jersey.

https://goldinauctions.com/mobile/LotDetail.aspx?inventoryid=22289

Let's have some fun with this!

The Game Used Universe member that comes closest to guessing the final hammer (prior to the buyer's premium), will win a $100 voucher for Goldin Auction's Summer event. All guesses need to be in $1000 increments. Please post your guesses in this thread. We will set a deadline on guesses, well before the auction end. 1 guess per member... Good luck!

Check out this coverage!

I would laugh if the total is $208k or $207k, since the rules state $1k increments.

I'm going to guess $47k.

My guess is $250K.

If I win, the money will be donated to a 9/11 charity since I am not allowed to bid in the auction.

My guess was based on the bat barrel which Clemens threw at Piazza during the 2000 WS game 1 which sold for 47K last year. One has to figure the most historical game used jersey in Mets history and perhaps modern American history has to go for at least 2x that amount. (if not more)

Fine, since it is 1K increments, I will revise at $207,000. I still think $207,500 but will stay within the rules.

Sounds like Piazza wants it back.
"I've expressed my feelings to (owner) Jeff (Wilpon) and the Mets," Piazza said. "And while it never should have left Citi Field, they have assured me that contact with the seller has been made and they are making a concerted effort to get the jersey back."

If money was no object...That jersey would be mine...
And it would be on a tour of America forever....
I remember I just ended my tour in the Marine Corps...
Giuliani said, that we should play baseball after 9/11....
And I hate the Mets...
But, I remember when a guy, from a broken town; had the whole world looking at him to represent America.. Put his cleats in the ground and hit a homer that was heard around the would...
I cryed...and I hate the Mets...

I do not believe it is known
if someone had them , with all the press I got, they would have at least contacted me to ask about value I assume
