I don’t know, this might be more of an IMHO question, but I think with looking for answers based on past examples GQ is slightly the better place for it.
Anyway, after the death of the XFL, I went looking around their Web site and eventually made my way to their shop, xflshop.com. Suffice to say, they’re having a clearance sale and all their stuff is from around 30-50 percent off – with the likelihood of going cheaper later – and it got me thinking.
What are the odds that this stuff will be worth something some day? Are there markets nowadays for USFL jerseys? AFL footballs? Womens baseball league caps? And if so, would that apply favorably to the XFL, which was never really a popular or media favorite to begin with?
Especially with half off these jerseys, I’m toying with buying one in belated support, as I actually enjoyed the league. I was just curious if it might be worthwhile to buy an extra and sock it away for 20 years as either nostalgia or an investment. Either way, if their official gameball footballs get to 50 percent off, I’m DEFINITELY buying one of those. XFL or not, those are some high-quality footballs!
Moderators, if you feel this is more an IMHO topic, please feel free to move.
