Thanks for adding me to the group!

Tough times are forcing me to consider parting with one of my most prized possessions, a jersey worn by Mack Strong of the Seattle Seahawks in 2006.
Much like described here but without a COA letter. http://www.100percentauthentic.com/C...?q=mack+strong

I obtained the jersey in 2007 for a donation at a nearby political campaign block-party organized by a group that included Mack's mother and my wife's coworkers.
Mack was at the BB-Q, shaking our hands along with a few noisy politicians.

It's sad to think about but I'm looking for tips on what I can do to maximize the value. Do you agree that now is probably the best time to sell? Should I try contacting the team store for a letter? Ask Mack for a note saying "Sounds Legit"? Some of those COA/ consignment places seem pretty shady. Who or what to avoid?

Thank you for your thoughts! I'd happily answer questions, take pictures, and talk Seahawks football!
Cheers!

Dan
