Why are NFL Authentic Jerseys so expensive? The going price for an Authentic Jersey at NFLShop.com is $284.99. The NFL may state that it costs alot to produce Authentic Jerseys; if thats the case then why do dealers on EBay produce and sell their Authentic jerseys for as little as $44.99 (including shipping). Well maybe they will say the NFL's Authentics differ from Authentic's found on EBay; I can say through first hand experience, that if you buy from a respected dealer on EBay the difference is non-existent. So why then, would the NFL continue to sell Authentic Jerseys at such an astronomical rate when it could potentially sell a ton more Authentic Jerseys if the price was say, CUT IN HALF? As a fan its difficult to stomach paying $284.99 with today's free agency and the tendency for (what should be team lifers) John Lynch's and Warrick Dunn's to be let go.
