The Vault Journal Index: All 39 Jersey Guides
Every jersey guide we have published, in one place
Thirty-nine guides across six leagues — tier explainers, sizing and care, season previews, and the 2026 World Series run of the Milwaukee Brewers and the Tampa Bay Rays. Everything below is written by the same editorial team and updated in place rather than republished. If a page has a date on it, that is the last day we changed the facts.
The short answer: read the tier explainer for your league first — it settles what “replica” actually means — then the sizing guide for your body, and only then the season or event guide you came for. Everything else here is depth on a specific matchup or drop.

Questions about this index
How many jersey guides are there?
Thirty-nine published guides as of 2 November 2026, grouped into eight sections: World Series and MLB postseason, tier explainers, buying and sizing, NFL, NBA and NCAA, NHL, soccer, and shopping events.
Which guide should I read first?
Start with the tier explainer for your league so you know what replica, Fan Edition and retired-player builds actually cost, then read the six-league sizing guide. After that the season or event guides make sense without repeating the basics.
Are these guides updated or replaced?
Updated in place. When a season ends or a price changes we revise the existing page and move its date forward, so links from search results and forums keep pointing at current information instead of a superseded article.
Where do the prices in the guides come from?
Every price is read from the live product listing at the time the guide is updated, and we only print what is actually in stock. We do not publish “from” prices or ranges that start below a real SKU.
