Autographed Anthony Cook II University of Texas Longhorns Jersey

This item is a white University of Texas Longhorns football jersey, specifically a 'road' style garment featuring burnt orange accents. The back of the jersey displays the name 'COOK II' in tackle twill block lettering across the nameplate and the number '1' prominently below it. A critical feature is the vertical autograph located within the body of the '1' digit, signed in dark ink, attributed to Anthony Cook II. The jersey construction features a combination of solid synthetic fabric on the shoulder yoke and breathable mesh on the lower torso, typical of modern collegiate athletic apparel. A small circular holographic authentication sticker is visible at the bottom of the number '1', suggesting professional verification of the signature. The condition appears to be excellent with no obvious signs of field wear (stains or grass marks), though some light wrinkles are present from storage. The stitching on the letters and numbers appears precise and robust, indicating a high-quality fan-replica or authentic-style jersey. Given the player's career, this piece dates to approximately 2018-2022. The signature is clear and well-placed, significant for collectors of Texas Longhorns sports memorabilia.

I have virtually examined this white Anthony Cook II University of Texas Longhorns jersey. The garment presents in excellent, 'near-mint' condition, showing no signs of game-day use or degradation. The signature, located on the reverse digit '1', is bold and lacks the fading often seen in items exposed to direct sunlight. The presence of a holographic authentication sticker adds significant market confidence, though the specific registrar (e.g., Beckett, JSA, or PSA/DNA) was not explicitly stated. Market demand for Anthony Cook II memorabilia is steady among Longhorns alumni and collectors of modern 'burnt orange' history, given his tenure as a versatile defensive back. Comparables for signed modern Texas jerseys typically range from $125 for standard replicas to $300 for premium authentic-style cuts. The value is buoyed by Cook's reputation for longevity and leadership within the program. However, a definitive valuation is limited by the digital nature of this inspection. I cannot physically verify the ink's depth, the stitch count, or the legitimacy of the holographic serial number against its respective database. To achieve a certified appraisal for insurance purposes, I would require a physical examination to confirm the fabric's weight and ink consistency. Furthermore, an accompanying Certificate of Authenticity (COA) matching the holograph would be necessary to reach the high end of the estimated value. Without physical provenance or a verified database hit on the sticker, the item remains valued as a high-quality fan commemorative.
