I do know much about factory fabric code ....only that seems to be a 89 sewn upside-down...

Lou looked at it and authenticated it, so you must be wrong!

By the way, just catching up as I was half-asleep when I made my post directly above this one.

This Maravich jersey has been floating around the hobby for awhile. It is a complete joke. It is obviously a sewn upside down "89" tag. I have no idea how Lou could authenticate this jersey.

Re: TAG on Maravich jersey (Heritage)

I feel like we have discussed this exact jersey before- either here or on the old board. Someone had mentioned the possibility that the 68 tag could have been an upside down 89. Does anyone else remember that?

Re: TAG on Maravich jersey (Heritage)

This jersey was on a American Memorabilia auction sometime last year. It was discussed on the old forum. The "68" year tag is screen-printed, and 1989 Sand Knit "89" year tags are embroidered. It seems an upside-down reversal is unlikely and unreasonable. Does anyone have knowledge of Sand Knit factory codes?
