I emailed JO Sports last Sunday and I didn't receive any reply to my concerns about this Robin Yount jersey they are selling.
I had a friend/customer emailing me asking about this jersey as they were interested in possibly buying it, but they wanted me to have it examined first. After quite a bit of homework and help from friends in the industry, I found some real concerns.
First off, the tagging for Sand-Knit has never been seen by Dave Miedema for a 1980's Sand-Knit gamer. Then the issue of the size raises a concern, as Yount wore size 40 until later in his career. I believe I found he didn't start wearing such large jerseys until the early 1990's.
I am also trying to see if anyone else has ever seen a 1981 Brewers playoff jersey with the playoff stitching in the tail.
Has anyone seen any similar jerseys to compare this one to help determine authenticity? I can't find anything positive about the jersey and I know JO Sports is one of the best for modern football, but what methods are they using to authenticate vintage baseball jerseys?
