    Has anyone ever seen an original Negro Leagues jersey for sale?

    Just wondering since I've never actually seen one for sale.

    There have been a few in auctions. There have been some jackets and other stuff recently. There are a few big negro league collectors who have a lot of the stuff. The Hall of Fame does not have that many jerseys. Hope that helps.

      I believe there is currently a vintage negro league flannel jersey on ebay as I type this.

                I've been hoping for a long time to see one of the jerseys used in the X-Files episode 'The Unnatural' (about a Negro League player named Josh Exley, who is really an alien, and plays for the fictitious Roswell Grays) surface. A jersey worn by Jessie L. Martin, who played Exley, would be the absolute best, but I'd settle for a jersey worn by an extra. I'm betting that I'll see on of those on the market before I'll see an actual Negro League jersey there.

                  from the Negro League Baseball Players Association website www.nlbpa.com

                  Some players have even lost their precious artifacts through theft, or purchased far below their true market value. In 1990, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported that two Pennsylvania dealers were charged with interstate transportation of stolen property, and stood trial on charges that they took uniforms and pictures from the home of James "Cool Papa" Bell - memorabilia and artifacts valued at over $77,000 - while paying Bell a scant $500 for the lot. Eventually the charges were dropped, in exchange for Bell and his family receiving the remaining property back.

                    I have seen one ORIGINAL Negro League Uniform in person back in 1991 in St Louis.

                    If it hadn't been for my ex-wife I would have bought it (I'd just won $2,500 on the River Boat Queen in Alta, IL) but she was complaining about the price - $700 - for a COMPLETE Cuban X Giants Uni (Jersey, Pants and Hat) - I forget who the player was - and the jersey was Team signed...

                    I'm still kicking myself to this day for not telling her it was my winnings!!! Not like I didn't take her shopping with it!!!

                      I saw a Ted Radcliffe jersey for sale in Hagerstown MD a few months ago at a sports card show. Had a load of authentication documentation.
