Not my Holy Grail but Pretty Close. ( Got in Today )

[Jays1fan]

I love Game Used Stuff that was used in 1 game. I have Opening Day Bases , a Mother's Day Bat , 2 Hats ( Canada Day & 9/11 ) , Line-up Cards and Baseballs.
But just a few minutes ago the Fed-X man rang the doorbell with this :
Vernon Wells 4/04/08 Game Used Home Opener FLASH BACK FRIDAY Retro Jersey !!

Hey Scott, I'll have to pick one up myself as well!! Is the material cool base?

Re: Not my Holy Grail but Pretty Close. ( Got in Today )

The Material is the regular Jersey Material not cool base. Another thing I like about it. Truly Retro.
If anyone can help with a few Pictures ( Photo-match ) I would greatly appreciate it.

It shouldn't be too tough photo matching it. I remember see photos of Vernon in that jersey on the MLB site, in the Star & Sun. Getty has these:

Didn't know that.. The wrap section is just a link in the boxscore section, eg:

Awesome match with the scuff marks on the 1 and 0 in the picture of him sliding.

I love the old Jays jerseys and logos much better than the new stuff. It seems like teams always mess with a good thing and screw up a look as time goes by.
