I'm curious to hear what any knowledgeable Yankee fans have to say about this jersey.
SCP is offering a 1977 home Reggie Jackson Yankee jersey (lot 548) in their auction which starts on Wednesday. I'm not a Yankee collector, but I feel I've seen enough Wilson Yankee jerseys to form an opinion.
The first issue I have is the tail tagging which I believe belongs in the collar along with the chain stitched name. Also the font of the tagging looks way off. The second issue is the font on "Jackson" in the collar which doesn't appear to be consistent with other period Yankee jerseys. The third issue I have is the font of the number on back. After doing some research, both 4's are a little different than the norm. The Wilson tag is also from 1978 which I guess is not a big deal since we've seen some carry over from time to time.
Somebody correct me if I'm wrong with any of these issues and I'll be glad to eat my words. I feel I've seen this jersey before and it's already been picked apart.
I emailed SCP for more clarification yesterday and await their response
