Cool story (except the part about Maz's jersey almost being used as a rag to wash a car!)

Re: Bill Mazeroski's 1960 WS GU Jersey found....
At the risk of sounding cynical, I'd want to see independent third-party analysis before accepting this as the actual historic artifact.
The LOA from the original owner lacks credibility since he admittedly had no idea of its origins. Likewise the annotation from Mazeroski, given that players are often the worst authenticators of their own equipment (particularly decades after the fact, as is the case here). A 30-second look-see at a card show hardly qualifies as a forensic examination.
Is it an inconsistency, for example, that the Set 1 flannels would have been worn during the World Series? There are numerous photographs and film of the event. As a starting point, an attempt to find a photo match based on the wealth of visual evidence would be in order.

All things considered, it's a great story and nice flannel from a Hall of Famer that's worth a lot of cash.Mike
Looking for any White Sox jersey from Richie Zisk.
