Lately, you've been seeing more and more unboxings of so-called jersey mystery boxes on Instagram, Tiktok and other social media platforms. But where does the appeal come from? And are jersey mystery boxes really worth it? We'll get to the bottom of these questions here.

What is a jersey mystery box?

First of all, the question arises as to what exactly a jersey mystery box is. Put simply, it is a box that contains a jersey. The jersey usually comes from a professional club. However, there are different types of jersey mystery boxes. Some may only contain jerseys from national teams, some only German clubs, some only English clubs, only teams that play in the Champions League or only teams that take part in the 2024 European Championship. You'll notice that the selection seems almost endless.

Why do people buy mystery boxes?

It seems questionable why customers are even interested in such boxes. There could be many reasons for this. Firstly, the so-called gamble factor; the buyer does not know in advance what kind of jersey he will receive. It could be a jersey from an absolute top club, but also a jersey from a completely unknown club. This uncertainty and the associated thrill often appeals to customers.

Many customers also buy jersey mystery boxes as a birthday present for their family and friends or to open them together as a group. There are numerous videos on Tiktok of groups opening jersey mystery boxes together and showing each other their jerseys.

Are jersey mystery boxes worth it?

But now to the all-important question: Are such jersey mystery boxes worth it? The answer? As is often the case in life, it's not that easy. First, you have to decide for yourself what you specifically mean by "worth it". What do you expect from a jersey mystery box? If you expect to find a jersey from the new season in a box for €40 that has a RRP of €120, the boxes will probably not be worth it in most cases. Most providers sell their boxes for just over €40 (usually plus shipping). On Tiktok, it may sometimes look as if the jerseys are very expensive and rare in most cases. However, this should be treated with caution, as you can never determine whether an unboxing is authentic or staged by the company behind it. To get a more accurate picture, it can be useful to take a closer look at the creators of the unboxings. If these are private individuals, you can assume that it is an authentic unboxing. The sobering truth, however, is that the boxes very often contain jerseys from clubs that even the most die-hard football fan has never seen before.
