[@Homeboy_Brando]

No you I have a lakers styled jersey still in great condition that has only been worn once from an Eminem and Rihanna concert from their The Monster Tour back in 2014 that says “SHADY” on the front and right underneath that it has the number 2 and on the back it says “MMLP2” with again the number 2 right underneath that. I’m not planning on ever selling it, but how much do you think something like that would be worth in let’s say 20 years? Maybe even 30 years? How high would the price go when Eminem dies? Just curious. Not planning on selling it, but it would be nice to know if things ever get desperate. .....I just got up to check it out. I smelled it to see if it still smelled clean after being put aware and untouched, as far as I’m aware, for years and it still smells brand new! It also kind of smells like a cologne I haven’t worn in a while. I wonder if I had that cologne on when first bought it and the smell is still on it😂😂 Good thing my cologne isn’t strong. I choose the cologne I use because it smells fresh and clean. Not too “cologne-y” if that makes sense. I wonder if that contributed to why the jersey still smells fresh. I’m not sure though if it is the cologne. Like I said I haven’t worn it in awhile and I kind of forgot what it smells like, and I think I first started wearing that cologne during that same year of that concert. I just don’t remember if it was before or after that concert I started wearing that cologne. Anyway, how do you think those things would effect the price? 20 years later? 30 years later? After Eminem dies? The fact that it still smells fresh and looks new and only worn once? I know you probably aren’t an expert on this, but I am curious what you think.

[@Homeboy_Brando]

No you No problem😂 And yeah I already do that. For almost as long as I can remember I’ve been putting cologne on like that. And thank you for letting me know! I appreciate it.
