Re: Possible Thurman Munson's 1977 World Series Jersey
I think the guy on Net54 owes you big time. Just from those two photos, you could make a pretty good case that the jersey came from an iconic game in World Series history. The owner should send his jersey off to Mears and have Dave Grob work his magic. Munson jerseys are freakishly expensive as it is. I can't imagine what that jersey would be worth with the proper documentation that proves it came from the three homer Reggie game.Mike

It matches to games 2 and 5. Not game 1. Munson wore another jersey in game 1.Comment

Re: Possible Thurman Munson's 1977 World Series Jersey
You can see in two pics, that you can see the stripe on the left side of the NY. But in games 2 & 6, you can not see the stripe please it's so-close to the NY. So they are different jerseys the one from game 1 vs Games 2 & 6.Comment

Re: Possible Thurman Munson's 1977 World Series Jersey
Seeing that this has been determined to be Munson's 1977 World Series jersey, I'm curious as to whether this advances a theory I have had about 1977 Yankees jerseys. Some have a long strip tag in the collar with name/year/set. Others (like this) have a NIC tag and a year/set strip tag in the tail. I have theorized that the ones tagged like this Munson were WS jerseys (and maybe ALCS, as well) and came to that train of thought long before this Munson surfaced. I'm curious if any of the vintage Yankees guys like Mike S. or Jim C. see any increased potential for my theory to be fact. Gentlemen (or anyone else), I welcome your comments.

Re: Possible Thurman Munson's 1977 World Series Jersey
dear yankees and forum members,
i have been collecting thurman munson artifacts and game used uniforms since 1984. im very proud to own the 2 finest munson jerseys ever to be found. 1. 1972 home flannel complete jersey with letters from the munson family. 2. 1978 world series home uniform with letter from catfish hunter stating pete sheehy gave to him the nextday thurman passed away...as for this uniform....the tagging in the tail is correct from what dave midema says on the forum as a world series uniform as my 1978 is tagged exactly. however 9 out of 10 munson knit uniforms are not authentic....munson uniforms authentic ones you can count on one hand...you cannot tell from photos if its authentic because there were many sample knit jerseys put out by wilson.....there is a thread pattern in the jersey that must be looked at from the sides to the tail. the second thing is the use and sweat most jerseys that arent authenticate have use on the numbers....im hoping to see this jersey in person and hoping its 100% picture perfect.
happy collecting....scott m. goodmanComment
