Ami Larry Wilson Jersey
Current offering in the American Memorabila auction:
1970-71 Larry Wilson St. Louis Card's football jersey, Lot #15
http://www.americanmemorabilia.com/A...ction_ID=40596
Based on other Card's jerseys from 1970/71 I've seen, I question the following:
COLOR-Should be a deeper "Cardinal", not red.
NAME ON BACK: Should be on a plate, not screened directly on back
#'s: Should be single color white, not 2-tone.
FABRIC: Should be solid material, not mesh (see size tag for mesh close-up).
I'd appreciate the thoughts/insight from those advanced football collectors on this site.
Thanks.

Re: Ami Larry Wilson Jersey
Here are a couple typical St. Louis Cardinal tags, one from 68 and one from 70.
I did speak to Victor today. He said this jersey came out of St. Louis from a long time game used dealer.

Re: Ami Larry Wilson Jersey
Roger-
Regardless of Vic speaking with you, and letting you know the shirt was obtained form a "long time game used dealer", it does not change the facts as noted in my initial post. The shirt does not come close to any known examples from 1970/71.
When you speak with Vic again, can you ask him what was referenced in order to determine this is a genuine, game worn 1970/71 Wilson jersey?
Unless Vic or his 100% Authentic Team can produce the research/photos/evidence they used to support their findings that this is a game worn Larry Wilson jersey from 1970/71, I would suggest removiing this jersey from their current auction offerings.

Re: Ami Larry Wilson Jersey
Howard,
I did not say this changed any facts. I posted pictures of real tags from Cardinal jerseys. That is a fact.
As per forum rules, I did contact AMI. That is why I stated that I talked to him. He told me where it came from. That adds facts to this post.
I have owned many Cardinal jerseys. This jersey is not consistant with those, fact.
