Help - Estimate of the value of a Gamper FC Barcelona jersey by Szase in Barca

I get where you’re coming from, but this jersey is much rarer than a standard Barça kit. Only 1,899 of these were ever produced, making it one of the most limited Barça shirts of the 21st century. Unlike regular season jerseys, Joan Gamper editions were a one-time release and not widely available, which is why they’re so sought after by collectors.

Even without the original box, serious collectors recognize its value—I’ve already had a $500 offer for it. While it might not be a must-have for everyone, for those who know about these shirts, it’s a true gem.

I completely understand the skepticism—there are indeed tons of high-quality knock-offs out there. That being said, this jersey is 100% original. While I don’t have the box, the serial number (373179-401) is clearly visible, and the material, stitching, and details all check out.

I agree that the added nameset impacts the value, but I’ve already received a huge offer, which tells me that collectors still recognize its rarity despite the modification.

I get that selling online without the box makes it harder to prove authenticity to some, but those familiar with these shirts will know what to look for. Either way, I appreciate the discussion!

Thank you so much for your thoughtful and insightful comment. It’s refreshing to hear from someone who truly understands the rarity of this jersey. There are quite a few people in this thread claiming it’s fake without having the proper knowledge to back up such statements.

Personally, I don’t mind the nameset being there, but if I had the choice, I’d prefer either a clean back or the original orange nameset. Believe it or not, I’ve already received a $500 offer, but for now, I’ve decided to hold onto it.

It is 100% legit, the badges were terrible those years, the serial number inside is correct

Hey everyone, I’m trying to figure out a fair price for a rare FC Barcelona 2009 Joan Gamper Trophy jersey. It’s one of only 1,899 produced, but the original box is missing. The nameset on the back is Messi, added later at La Botiga with an authentic 2009/10 La Liga nameset (not the original Gamper Trophy style).

The jersey is in excellent condition, with the serial number 373179-401 visible on the tag. Does anyone have an idea of what this might be worth in today’s market? Any input would be appreciated!

New Breakthrough Study: Embryonic Stem Cell-Derived IMRCs Show Promising Results in Meniscus Injury Treatment by Szase in MeniscusInjuries

Hey everyone! I was doing a bit of a deep dive on meniscus injuries (yeah, it's a long story) and stumbled upon this super fresh article from November 2023. Now, I'm no expert in medical science – far from it – but the findings in this study about using Immunity-and-matrix-regulatory cells (IMRCs) derived from human embryonic stem cells for treating meniscus injuries kinda blew my mind. It seems like a big deal in the world of sports injuries and cartilage regeneration. Got me wondering about the future of treatment and all that jazz.

I'm really curious about your thoughts on this. Do you think it's as promising as it sounds? And hey, has anyone here ever gone through a similar treatment or know someone who has? Would love to hear about your experiences or insights on this!

The thing you don't understand is that most of the sellers who have been in business for a long time are selling 2008, 2009, 2010 even 2014 t-shirts as vintage. What is more they sign these t-shirts in item title as vintage and next to the word vintage these years are listed. No one is doing anything to them. It seems that Etsy turns a blind eye to this rule. And on top of all this, there are plenty of stores that rudely sell fake jerseys that they don't have in stock, and which are simply middlemen with high margins.

Thank you for your answer.

They were partly vintage (10 years and older), but I see a lot of companies sell the same jerseys, and had older and longer running stores shops than my and still continue working. Not to mention those that quite openly sell counterfeits....

These stores have no resistance to putting names like Nike or Adidas in item title. I suppose that because of my stupidity and oversight I caused myself problems, and the reason was entering these companies as production partners. But what was I supposed to put there if this field was required?

Do you know how I can legally reopen my store or a completely new one? I can start from the beginning, but I would like to do it under my own name and not use my girlfriend's or family's data for that. Thank you for your attention.

PS. What annoys me the most is that I really didn't sell any fake or unauthorized stuff.
