Re: Rod Carew Twins Gamer?
Beantown:
Jersey sold for $500...way less than a Carew Twins should.
Personally, I've got issues with the tagging font and appearance.

Re: Rod Carew Twins Gamer?
I have owned a lot of knit pullover Twins jerseys, many of them in rough shape. But I have never seen one this bad.
A few observations:
The Twins were notorious for recycling jerseys. Has this one had a number change. My guess is no since the logo wear and the number wear are consistent. But keep in mind, this style of jersey was also used in the minors.
I can not imagine a situation where the back numbers would fray that bad. Nor can I imagine a situation where that jersey would still be in use in that bad of shape, especially but the team's star player. Griffith was cheap, but not that cheap.
Most beat up knits I have seen also have letter and number fade. Makes sense right? If a jersey was worn long enough to get beat up, it was also worn long enough to suffer sun fading. I don't see any fade here. Granted the pics are not that great either.
Should have a Wilson tag in the neck. Don't see it. But they were also prone to come off too.
As far as being legit, I offer no opinion without actually handling it.Wanted: Minnesota Twins throwback or special event jerseys.Comment
