I'd say it's like paying extra for any piece of clothing. How often are you going to wear it; and more importantly, how often are you going to wash it?
I have season tickets, so I wear a jersey to every game and wash them frequently. I found that the logos on the replica/"Premiere" jerseys don't hold up and the edges started to peel and fray after a full season's wear and tear.
Because the logos are all stitched onto the Authentic jerseys, they don't have the same problem. I have Authentics that I've worn regularly for 5+ seasons that look as good as the day I bought them.
Also, during the off-season, you can often find the Authentics on sale for a pretty good price. A few years ago, Reebok changed their logo on the back of the jerseys (no other changes), so the FanAttic cleared out all their Authentics for $100 each.
