As many of you know I've been looking for a Griffey jersey with good provenance for quite awhile. It cost me more than I had planned to spend but I was lucky enough to win the White Sox road jersey from the mlb.com auction. Here are the pics from the Auction lot and I'll post more when I receive it along with my other Griffey items. Thanks to all those who offered advice and insights in my search. If anyone has any personal photos from that season I would appreciate them for possible photo matching.

Re: Finally got my Griffey
Take a look at the front "7" and "GRIFFEY" on the back. They look similar, but I'm just quickly browsing.

Re: Finally got my Griffey
Congrats on the pick-up!
There's a loose black stitch on the "I" that you could match up as well as a loose white stich on the bottom of the second "F". Hopefully it's the same one!

Re: Finally got my Griffey
Everyone, thanks so much for all the well wishes and the great photos, I can't wait to have the jersey in my hands to start matching. I did spend alot of time researching his Reds and Mariners jerseys, even emailing with Rick Stowe the Reds equipment manager about the Griffey jersey in the Grey Flannel auction. He said that one was authentic but GF called me and said they were pulling it since they couldn't photo match the pinstripes. But when I saw a jersey being offered from the team that was as good as I could ask for without Griffey giving it to me himself. If anyone is looking for examples of Griffey jerseys and information I am more than happy to pass on what I've found. And just some FYI I found that most of his jerseys that have good provenance have a 2 inch extra length customization although this seems to not always be the case when it comes to alternates, and found one jersey vest from his Seattle years that had his signed COA and did not have the extra length. Happy to help anyone else. Thanks again.Comment
