Jersey/Shirt Collecting Question

[PITTM]

So yesterday Kdawg and I were talking and I said I was going to buy a Bojan Krkic jersey. Bojan is a 17 year old super prodigy on Barcelona. In soccer, the first team players wear numbers between 1-25 and the reserves wear 26-99 with exceptions obv. Anyway, Bojan has been wearing #27 and I was considering buying one of his shirts. Then today I read an article about how in January they will be changing his number to a first team number. When I talked to Kdawg I said "dude I'm glad I didnt buy that shirt yesterday..." and then he went on to tell me that he thought the 27 shirt would be cooler and more collectible than the newer shirt. What do you guys think?

I know, some gay soccer thread, but this obv applies to a lot of stuff, would you rather have a kobe 8 or kobe 24 shirt? Michael Jordan 23 or 45? A Michael Jordan UNC jersey or a Jordan Bulls Jersey? Just kind of something I had been wondering.
