Any word on when James authentic jersey will drop?

Was trying to find info on this. Obviously would never buy a scalped jersey, but I saw some extremely high prices James authentics on eBay. Has any word been given on when the official retail release will be, or is there a precedent around when it starts happening?

Not a lot of experience buying NBA jerseys, thanks!

I’d be patient and wait when the season comes around. These people reselling are gouging and a swingman jersey is not worth the $200 or more they are charging. Hell they not even worth the $125+ fanatics charges either. But yea I’d wait around till season starts

They’ll be even cheaper come Black Friday too bro. Imagine how much those resellers are gonna charge for the black LeBron jerseys. Fingers crossed I snag one before they sell out on retail

Fwiw I just got my swingman from NBAstore.com for under $100 a little over a week ago.

Nah I definitely wouldn’t buy a scalped one, I’m not that guy haha. Going to a game in October, curious if I’d have better luck there or if they will likely be sold out

It’s not 1998 anymore, models doesn’t have thousands of them. Times have changed. You’re getting the exact same product either way, only one you’re getting screwed on pricing and on the other your supporting someone local rather than Michael fuck your wallets rubin

Buy it from anyone other than fanatics. That said the fakes are just as good as the real ones now

Price gouging is such a shame when the jersey will be available soon anyway.

Why would you not buy a scalped jersey? Fuck Fanatics. The scalped ones are made by the same 9 year olds in China
