The Argentinian legend jerseys are being sold for a fortune, much bigger than the ones of Pelé, after his death.

November 25 won’t be a day more since now, as Diego Armando Maradona died on that exact time. The Argentinian legend had been experiencing several health difficulties and, a week after being hospitalized, he couldn’t resist and died in his house at Buenos Aires, Argentina.

As many times happens, now the things related to the ex-soccer player has increased their value after his death. The jerseys worn or autographed by the idol have duplicated o triplicated its value, as there are now limited ones and Maradona won’t be signing anymore.

In Argentina a signed jersey from the legend could now cost more than 10 thousand dollars, a fortune that many days ago wasn’t paid that match. Of course, it needs to have its official signing certification, to prove that it is in fact an autograph made by Maradona himself.

Those numbers have been compared to the ones of the jerseys with a Pele signature sold in Brazil. But those pieces from O Rey, as he is known, aren’t valuated that much as the one of his historical rivals. Probably, due to his recent death, but also because the one of the Argentinian could be considered more exotic than his.
