I've contacted ESM regarding the absence of the custom mesh under the sleeves of this 2005 Pedro Martinez jersey.
I've noted that it's common knowledge in the collecting community that Pedro wears custom sleeves on days he pitches and at best the jersey is a bench worn jersey. In fact auction houses like Grey Flannel have had an 2005 Pedro Martinez jersey sans customized sleeves and presented them as "bench worn".
The response from ESM was:
"This jesey does not have the mesh. We got this jersey directly from Pedro's friend and he said that Pedro did wear it in a game."
My response to ESM was I thought they obtained items directly from the player?
Awaiting a response and ESM if you are reading this forum thread please feel free to respond.
Thanks,
-David
