A fan's Marketplace listing of a player's jersey attracts attention for its steep pricing amid wider sales of team merchandise.
A man has gained viral attention on social media for listing a jersey of Saprissa player Nicolás Delgadillo at a price of 150,000 colones on an online marketplace.
The price sparked reactions and discussions among fans, particularly given that the official merchandise of the team is currently available on their website for just 5,000 colones.
The market listing described the item as 'an original jersey of a Saprissa player' and claimed it was autographed by multiple team members.
This particular pricing drew attention not only for its excessiveness but also for the stated collectible value of the item.
The original post has since been removed from the marketplace but continues to circulate on various meme pages, leading to numerous comments, some of which humorously suggested selling other jerseys at similarly inflated prices.
The incident highlights ongoing conversations around merchandise pricing and player fandom within
Costa Rica's football culture.
As teams frequently navigate the balance between merchandise and fan engagement, this event underscores the unique dynamics present in sports memorabilia transactions.
