this does not seem to pass the sniff test, even before comparing it with the below photo of Robinson from that year. Any Indians jersey experts (one of which I am not) care to weight in?

I logged in specifically so I could bust on this clown.

This jersey is at best a TBTC model, but even those would have a NOB -- even though, according to the expert, "IN 1975 THE INDIANS DID NOT PUT THEIR NAME ON THE BACK OF THEIR JERSEYS." (caps his, for extree authoritativeness, ya see.)

PS: The neck is the wrong shape, but I figured everyone knew that already.

PPS: The jersey isn't tapered 70s-style, but I figured everyone etc.

PPPS: The uni #s are positioned too high, but I figured etc. etc.

I don't know if he saw reason or found a buyer but the auction was canceled.

Looks to me like a common Mitchell & Ness '75 Indians jersey with the tags removed.Although M&N puts players' names on the jerseys now,that wasn't always the case & F.Robby was one of those made with no name.
