Heritage...lot 7130...Seaver Mets...AVOID!

[sox83cubs84]

The Tom Seaver 1973 Mets road jersey in the Heritage 2/21-22 auction has a couple of red flags.

I can't get the photos to post, but the main problem is a 1979-86 Wilson tag on a purported 1973 jersey. Second, the collar strip tag font is not consistent with known 1973 Mets road exemplars. Heritage was notified almost a week ago and, while acknowledging the inquiry, has not acted as of now to remove the item.

Here's the back and front of the jersey.

Here's a similar bad 73 Seaver. Not the same jersey as evidenced by the "Y" in the "YORK"

Heritage, to their credit, has pulled the Seaver jersey, after a U2A (Unable to Authentic) grading from MEARS.

David,

Do you or did you have a '73 Seaver? I thought that I'd seen one either here or in an article somewhere.

David,

No on both counts. The only Seaver gamer I have ever owned was a 1976 Mets home, and that was almost 30 years ago.

I was asking David Louie, sorry

Ben,

I don't own a 73 Seaver. I think you saw the 72 Seaver owned by Andy Fogel in the NY Times and Forbes articles.
