Post interesting game issued items here
Hey everyone
As part of our quest to learn from every facet of the hobby, I thought it would be a good idea to start to collect photos and information of some game issued or cut jerseys in case they end up popping up as game used later on.
There's nothing wrong with someone buying a game cut or game issued jersey- the problem comes when a patch is added, a number is changed, wear magically shows up, or an authenticator writes a letter saying a jersey used, not knowing it was once purchased as issued.
I'm by no means suggesting that the people who bought the issued jerseys in this thread will be ripping people off- it will just be good to know what's out there as issued.
I would suggest uploading the photos to this thread rather than just putting links to their current location. Ebay takes listings down after a certain point and we would lose the information.
Here's one I thought was interesting

Re: Post interesting game issued items here
Has anyone ever been told exactly why Ichiro is allowed to have his first name on the back nameplate of his jersey's? Nobody else is allowed to do this as the back should say Suzuki. It seems that MLB is setting a double standard here. I was told that it was done to placate the Japenese ownership of the Mariners as well as the Japense people in general in order to keep their interest high in both Ichiro and baseball here in the states in general.

Re: Post interesting game issued items here
I bought this off ebay and sold it it to a fellow collector on another board that is a big Mets fan that I belong to.David wears a 48 but this could have ended up in the wrong hands even though it is a 46.Massauctions has bid on a lot of auctions that I have watched in the past.

Re: Post interesting game issued items here
Rudy,
On the Ensberg, this white alternate jersey and another 2006 Ensberg pinstripe were originally offered to me by Robert Weitzner, a seller recently questioned regarding MaxBats. He burned me on a game issued 2005 Clemens road that had a bogus tag and refused to take it back stating it was indeed game issued.
Thanks,

Re: Post interesting game issued items here
Again, it's important to note that that's nothing wrong with buying or selling game issued items. It's when it shows up elsewhere with an LOA saying it's game used when we have a problem.
-
Re: Post interesting game issued items here
other than seeing whether game-issued items later show up as game-used, i think another benefit to posting items here is to show their source. that is, if a seller says they "acquired it from a player/team source" and it's shown that they really just picked it up from ebay, i think that sort of information is valuable in making purchasing decisions. historic auctions, for example, once offered a david wright batting helmet that they purchased from kim stigall/ball park heroes. there was nothing wrong with the helmet. for some reason, historic felt the need to describe the helmet as "sourced from the Mets". everyone knows that provenance will add to the value of an item. hopefully, in posting items here, the real sources of certain items can be ascertained and it'll help curb all of the "acquired directly from the player/team!" nonsense.

Re: Post interesting game issued items here
I've been waiting for this one to re-appear with some new customization, since I sold it on ebay last year. I got $250 for it from a buyer named "bullpen21". Even though I doubled my money on it I regretted selling it to this guy because it became apparent pretty quickly that he's somewhat adept with a sewing machine as he subsequently posted a couple of homemade 1994 Bears TBTC jerseys that he still can't seem to GIVE away.
The jersey I sold him will be easy to spot, considering the missing Nike "swooshes" from the shoulders.

Re: Post interesting game issued items here
this is a great topic, but would require a ton of MB if it is intended to be used as a database...
unfortunately there are dealers out there, who are mentioned in this thread, that will continue to sell these jerseys...they know full well that they will be thrown into some auction or on ebay as game used...but they are off the hook because of how they list them on e-bay...talk about circumventing the system
it would be nice if sand knit still supplied the NBA...sure there would still be trash out there, but nothing like what happenned in 1992 and since then

I thought Pearson and Wilson were manufacturers of Sixers pieces-
Did Sand Knit ever make the Sixers jerseys? It does have an exclusive tag.
The 76ers switched to Sand-Knit for the 1986-87 season - Erving's last. From 1976-77 thru 1985-86, Erving wore Wilson Sixers jerseys.
I'm guessing someone got their hands on a blank Sixers team jersey and customized it. The size is too big for an Erving gamer and they put the wrong style numbers on it :)
I posted it on another thread...that guy had a number of Sand-Knit hoops jerseys. Some looked to be team issued and some were the retail authentics.

Re: Post interesting game issued items here
Once again, I'm really glad that I stumbled upon this place as I in just a few weeks have learned mucho information and this thread is just another tool to work from when buying.
As I've stated before, I collected GU items back in the late 80's and through the mid 90's and was able to source my stuff directly the Dodgers, Angels and a few other sources.
I recently got back into it that last couple of years as I've been going to about 30 to 40 games a year and have rekindled the flame and have again found some sources to get the goods.
Nevertheless, I have dipped into the ebay pool and each and every thing I have acquired via that media has been kosher/jake... but that's only because I only am collecting LA Dodgers Items and have a good basis of what is what with them.
However, if I ever decide to step outside of that realm, I know that the knowledge I have gleaned here will save me from giving my $$$ away on fakes and misrepresented goods.
The Wash Tag "Fake" Code is definitely a great tool to be armed with.
However, on the down side, the scammers do read this stuff and will adjust their tools of the trade.
Just an idea:
What about a service that one could send the ebay, or another auction or direct listing for online vetting that would say it is probably correct or not and charge a nominal fee for the service....

Re: Post interesting game issued items here
This one I got before it got to be team issued. I got it at the Russell factory outlet the summer of 1984.
It is consistent in every way with a Dolphins game jersey of that era. I am almost 100% positive that Russell's retail jerseys were not this length, and the tagging is consistent with other Dolphin jerseys I have seen (i.e. a letter size and not an number size). Marino did not wear jerseys with stretch side panels during 1984. Someone please correct me if I am wrong.
I still remember the day I bought this. They had a whole rack of Dolphin jerseys and some 49er jerseys too.

Actually no I believe they do other work for other teams.They just got a contract to do the NY Islanders jerseys this season.The owners name is Russ Gompers a truly classy guy.I took a ride down there and he was nice enough to give me and my wife the tour of the establishment. Here is the link with his contact info Eric and here is the email from the seller of the Franco and he also had a 2000 game issued BP Piazza with the world series patch. www.stitchesny.com

Re: Post interesting game issued items here
This one went for almost $700 a few days ago. Looks like a great piece, but unless I'm missing something, the part about it being a Bench helmet appears to be mostly conjecture based on a call from a Reds' museum employee. Hopefully it won't reappear with a numeral "5" markered into the padding or "Bench" dymo-taped to the back.
