How to Buy Authentic MLB Player Jerseys

If there's an MLB player who stands taller than the rest in your eyes, you can buy an authentic version of that player's jersey to wear. While you always have the option of buying an official jersey and adding lettering and numbering to the back, authentic MLB player jerseys come complete with the player's name and number, and are exactly the same as the jersey the player dons on game day. Read on to learn how to buy authentic MLB player jerseys.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

1. Make sure you know how to spot authentic MLB player jerseys. They are made in "Style 6200" by a company called Majestic. They also feature the official logo of Major League Baseball.

2. Identify which version of the player's jersey you'd prefer. This is necessary when a well-known player has played for more than one Major League team, and official jerseys in several different team colors are available. Choose to go with the player's current team, or opt for the team with which the player spent the peak of his career, as you prefer.

3. Check local sporting goods retailers, particularly if you're in or near the home city of the player's team. Many popular baseball players have pre-made authentic jerseys readily available for purchase at athletics stores. You can usually find the most popular players' jerseys in just about any Major League city, and authentic jerseys of superstar players are generally available throughout the country.

4. Shop online for a wide selection of authentic MLB player jerseys. You have several options of sites to visit to hunt for the player jersey of your choice. Visit the official site of the team the player is on, check online auction sites if the player is retired and do simple Internet searches to find online retailers.

5. Ask for a guarantee of authenticity if you're shopping with an online retailer. Authentic MLB player jerseys generally cost hundreds of dollars. Their inauthentic counterparts sell for a fraction of that, so don't pay full price for a jersey that isn't even the real McCoy.

Tips & Warnings

• Paying a visit to the home ballpark of the team your favorite player plays for is a good way to track down an authentic MLB player jersey. However, you should expect to pay a pretty penny whenever you pony up for player jerseys at the ballpark.
