In case anyone is interested, I've spent the past few days analyzing Lot 563 on Hunt Auctions - a 1977-1978 Toronto Blue Jays home jersey. They only have one photo posted of the front of the jersey. I've attached 4 additional photos that were sent to me after I expressed some concerns about this jersey to Hunt.
There are two main problems with this jersey:
1. There is no strip tag located below the Manufacturer's tag. According to Rudy's Blue Jays guide (for which he has seen several 1977 Blue Jays jerseys), this strip tag should be there.
2. The Manufacturer's (Wilson) tag also does not correspond to other 1977 gamers.
I'm not saying this isn't a legitimate 1977 gamer, but these are enough red flags to steer my interest away from this jersey.
