Help needed- 85 Home Padres tag??

[Eric]

Hello everyone

I need your help on something. Can anyone provide a photo of a 1985 home San Diego Padres year tag?

I need to see what the script looks like. Much appreciated.

85 padres home jersey should be a wilson. wilson tag in the collar. tagging is the typical 80s, wilson strip tagging. just like wilson had on early-mid 80s yankees shirts.

here are 2 tags from 85 padres home jerseys:



uniform number - year. i believe the padres used "spare" style tagging as well to denote spare jerseys. if it was tagged as a spare, then i believe it'd only have the year and not the uniform number.

Yes. here's the nettles. Has anyone ever seen 85 Padres tagging or other Wilson tagging like this?

Eric-
I had a feeling this was your concern.

I've had plenty of Phillies and Padres jerseys from 1985, and both teams incorporated the EXACT same type of tagging. When comparing my Phillies and other Padres I purchased from Hartel (who purchased hundreds directly from the Padres), this Nettles is completely different. I've never seen another Phillies or Padres with this type of "sloppy" embroidery as shown here on this Nettles. Considering Nettles was/is a pretty good name, it raises my concern about this. Personally, I don't like it at all and would not feel comfortable with it in my collection.

Let me know if you would like to see my Larry Andersen 1985 Phillies embroidery.

Eric that is the wrong size Nettles wore a size 42. Additionally I own a 85 Nettles that Howard Wolf looked at and liked. It's tags are identical to Rudy's.

I hope this helps.

Re: Help needed- 85 Home Padres tag??

eric,

additional issues:

the "RAK" font is wrong:



it's most pronounced in the "A". the ebay version has a sharp top, my exemplars have blunt tops.

i'm also not fond of the nob fonts and am not sure why the tag is in the tail instead of the collar.

Eric I'm a little late in replying I can only say that Rudy and Howard are correct but I'll go a little further the 9 85 strip tag is bogus the chainstitching is starting to look similar to what's been seen recently on some of the less than legit pieces on ebay, ect. (meaning it's coming from the same place) As previously noted the Wilson tag belongs in the collar. On the back the # 9 is wrong and some of the letters in the NOB are incorrect.

But besides that it's fine, right?

Eric, it sure looks like it. Lon was correct earlier in this thread as identifying the nature of the bogus strip tag. I will notify MEARS tonight of the problems of this jersey.

It has been fixed. The MEARS description of it being a game worn jersey has been changed. See below
