Reid-
As I noted once before when this item was questioned:

1. Provide me with a shred of evidence that Carlton ever wore this.
2. Provide me with a photo of Carlton or any Phillies plauer ever wearing a generic maroon jacket like this. I've never seen the Phillies wear a maroon jacket without the traditional P sewn over the breast in white, outlined in maroon, during Carltons stay.
3. How can it be attributed to Carlton? The Phillies wrote the players uniform # on the Wilson tag. Not only is is void of Carlton's 32, it is void of any identification.

Howard,

I either forgot about or completely missed your first post about this jacket.

As to your questions, I have no idea. I'm not interested in obtaining the jacket, but rather making a note of what happened with it for my notes on phillies/carlton items that were publicly represented as game worn.

If anyone knows where the jacket is now, please let me know. Thanks.

Thanks, Howard - all good points, as usual.

Best,
Reid

....Not saying the AMI one is Lefty's,but looks like he certainly did wear one at one time.....

No follow up on this ... does this qualify as evidence?

It does prove that Carlton, at least, wore this style.
Why did Chuck from Chuck's Cards add a watermark to the photo of the Topps card? Is he claiming ownership to his photo of someone else's photo? That's a stretch.

Starman-
Has Carlton worn generic maroon jackets jackets? Based on the photo on the card, it's very likely (though we don't know what's on the back of the jacket he's wearing in the card), however, that is not the issue. If he wore this style, do you think he's the only player? How did the Phillies identify their jackets (i.e, # written on the tag, # sewn inside, etc.?) There's no way to know that the AMI jacket is Carlton's, Schmidt's or some common player, however, AMI decided to sell it as Lefty's because of the letter it came with, which is lame, but far from their lamest hobby practice.
