As i have said before, I consider myself very knowledgeable when it comes to vintage authentic jerseys, however I have <10 game used/worn pieces.
I got my first supposeded gamer when I was about 14, a pre-'91 Rams Kevin Greene as a Christmas gift (he was a Steeler at that time), but as I got older, and the internet came into play, I realized there are inconsistencies:
1. it is a size 48, tapered bottom, no extra length (my main concern)
2. no spandex sides, however I have seen at least one other on americanmemorabilia without them
3. stains, but no hit marks, repairs, etc.
The one thing that does give me a little hope is the fact that there is no Russell tag in the neckline, or signs that there ever was one, as is the case with store bought authentics.
I have pretty much accepted the fact that I was duped, and was going to try to get the stains out, maybe add a 40th ann. patch, and just wear it like any other authentic, but I wanted to get some other opinions first.
Also, I noticed some Greene gamers (all Rams), have the letters in his name closer together, while others like mine, have a little more space between them. Are these differences random, or specific to certain years?
Any feedback/opinions would be very helpful, and greatly appreciated.
Thanks
