A 1973 Phillies road Carton sold for over $3,000 on Ebay today. Upon careful examination, you will notice that the zipper has been relpaced, the nameplate letters are not the standard Wilson vertical arch cut, the thread is missing on the back 32 (excessive post Carlton wear) and the overall wear is excessive. Alli ndications point to this shirt being recycled to the Phillies minor league camps for additional use after Carlton wore it in 1973. This was common practice for the Phillies, however, you have to wonder if the winning bidder Mitch Schumacher put all of the pieces together and understood what he was purchasing, or if he is even aware of these facts.
As we always note, do your homework.
