Any thoughts on this Blyleven jersey?

It looks pretty good to me (tagging appears appropriate) but was curious what the other members thought other than the price. As always, thanks in advance for your insight!

I think its a little steep, but at least it is cheaper than the Ron Hassey that has been up there lately! I have seen some early flannels go for less. Probably about a $750-$1000 jersey.

Two things concern me on the jersey:

1) The stitching on the Rawlings tag doesn't seem to be consistent all the way around...note the stitching on the left side and above ACTION TAILORED on top, and compare it with the top further over and the right side.

2) The "2" on the back doesn't seem to match up with what I'd expect.

More input would be appreciated, especially on the number 2 font, as I'm going on memory, not a photo.

Ditto for his Charlie Leibrandt. $600!

Since we are on the subject of vintage Tribe jerseys, anyone have any thoughts on the 1976 currently listed. buddybelljersey Possibly a 1975 with the 1976 patch added later as the Tribe often did?
