Hahahaha

1995 fan jerseys (non-player worn) for wildcats players for like Grace, Fisher, Crawford, Vlaholv go for about $300AU on eBay.

At the time they probably went for about $100 brand new... so it's taken about 20 years to increase by 200%.

I've found that it is very hard to get your money back or make a profit. I think you just have to find the right person.

NBL merch generally wont appreciate in value. Probably not the names you listed anyways. I am a 36ers fan, and I wouldn't likely pay more than the standard 70 dollars for a signed Anthony Petrie jersey. I am a fan of the guy, good player, but it just isn't actually worth anything.

It certainly isn't an "investment". No one thinks "Woah, I am sitting on a gold mine of Mark Worthington signed jerseys!"

Ummm excuse me but I'm not completely ignorant.
I totally know who Sam Worthington, Adam Hills and Drew Petrie are.

I have a pretty decent Wildcats collection but in no way think of it as an investment.

You would be better spending your money and tracking down 1 NBA superstar worn / signed jersey instead of 10 NBL game worn jerseys if you are looking at it as an investment.

I have a few thousands dollars spare and looking to tuck it away in an appreciating assett.

Given my basketball interest, would it be worthwhile parking it in memorobilia?

I would be looking at Boomers game worn jerseys, and perhaps more famous nbl jerseys such as the Bullets and Wildcats. Id also be open to NBA / Euroleague if I can find a good deal.

Recently I saw some Brian Kerle game worn shoes for only $50, good buy? Tuck them away for 10 years and kaching?

An ACB CAI Zaragoza Goulding jersey would be pretty cool to own also. I can see that being desirable in the future. Any advice appreciated :)

Some of this stuff would be cool to own and show from a retro point of view, especially from a club that's folded (eg being seen wearing a Giants jersey around Melbourne!)

But as far as an investment goes, I doubt it would be worth much unless you sold it to an absolute fanatic or keen collector of niche things.

Having said that, I have kept my Jermaine Beal bobblehead in pristine condition, with the box intact in the hope it could be worth something in 30 years time :)

I can only imagine an NBL singlet would be worth more than you paid for it if the player went on to bigger and better things, like Jingles, or Mills. But even then, I wouldn't see it as a particularly good 'investment'

You would try and track down some ABA stuff or early greatest players like Kareem , Magic , Bird, Jordan , Wilt. Before things were mass produced.

Even a game worn LeBron or something similar would be the only sort of BBall equipment to be worth anything in the future. something rare.

I have a Kavossy Franklin Gong jersey signed and framed. Could I get big dollars for it? 1k?

Money's in the NBA If you're deadset keen on basketball as your investment method. Definitely not the NBL.

I'll give ya 20 bucks for it Clint.

How much is a framed Gold Coast Blaze jersey signed by the entire team and coaches worth? Is from the 2008/09 season that came last or near last lol. I won it from a then team sponsor. Coach joyce, captain harvey, mvp whitehead if that helps. Other notables include justin bowen, scott mcgregor, tyson demos

(Ps this post looks like trolling i know but im deadly serious haha)

There are some people who collect NBL stuff. Problem is they're not willing to pay much for it to make it worth an investment. This may change though if we have a thriving national league in 20 years time though. Even then you'd need to find the right buyer willing to pay the price that would make a 20 year investment worthwhile. I've got a pretty sweet South East Melbourne Magic cap from a championship year in the mid 90's signed by Tony Ronaldson. I'd be willing to sell it for $150, but I doubt I'd be able to find anyone willing to pay that amount for it. I still have these well made club toy car/money box things still in boxes from 20+ years ago, I just checked Ebay and they now go for about $10.

I'd love to buy some more 90's jerseys particularly Magic, Brisbane Bullets, Giants for 50-70 and shorts for 30-40. But anyone who still has them is not likely to sell them for that price.

In sports memorabilia, there's high quality stuff that will always appreciate in value. But its expensive to buy initially, and there would be nothing like that in the NBL.

Your only chance in the NBL, would be to gather a lot of cheap stuff early, get it signed for free, and hope that in the future you might offload a few pieces at a modest.

You need to remember that most stuff sold as memorabilia is almost guaranteed NOT to be collectable because they make so much of it.

I've got Scott Fishers signed White GF singlet ....I would think $500 but only because Perth's fan base has more $ than cents
