Rockies rookie sensation Trevor Story’s game-worn opening-day jersey went for a whopping $12,250 on Major League Baseball’s auction site.
In comparison, star third baseman Nolan Arenado’s jersey sold for $4,050 and Carlos Gonzalez’s went for $1,700.
when Story wore the jersey, blasted two home runs for Colorado against the Padres on April 8 at Coors Field, giving him six through the first four games of the season. There were 117 bids in the nine-day auction.
Story paraphernalia has skyrocketed ever since the shortstop had his MLB-record start to the season. A 2011 Bowman Chrome draft autographed card went for $21.61 on eBay on April 1. That same card is now selling for roughly $135 ungraded, a 625-percent increase.
