According to the book "Now Batting, Number . . ." page 244, Darwin Cubillan wore 45. 57 is not listed as being worn by him.

Hi MuseOven,

We did check, as you can see, that No. 45 was Cubillan's number, according to the Texas Rangers. I am glad that RC Walker found another book to corroborate our research.

Please let me know if you are satisfied with this info, as I want you to be comfortable with the jersey.

Regards,
Barry Meisel, MeiGray

As a NY Jets fan and collector of only NY Jets pieces I have never purchased an item from MeiGray but the way you represent yourselves here in such a professional manner with unmatched customer care and concern is impressive to say the least. All too often quotes like "standard of the industry" are thrown around easily but just from my impressions I would think MeiGray would have to warrant such a label. Maybe one day you'll work with the Jets and I will have the pleasure of dealing with you but until then it is refreshing to see you continue to put customers and customer staisfaction first, you're posts are always a delightful read.

Hi Matthew,

Thanks for the kind words.

I do not often post about items from my personal collection, but as someone who grew up a Jets fan and as a kid idolized Namath and the AFL Jets, I've enjoyed seeing your collection.

One of my favorite items in my collection is my 1968 Johnny Sample sample photo-matched (to pictures in Sample's book) and video-matched to Super Bowl III.

If you're ever looking to move any vintage Jets items, '60s and '70s, I'd love to get a shot.

Regards,
Barry

I have read Sample's book (I think I have every book ever written on the Titans/Jets) and it is a great read...he was an ELITE corner and student of the game (the book was cutting edge for its time). Having been cast out of the NFL I doubt anybody savored the SB III win any more than him. Needless to say your jersey sounds like an incredible piece of history.

However, I would like to know when you crossed over to the dark side? You mention you grew up a Jets fan but in another thread you mention being an avid New Jersey Giants fan? It's never too late to come back from the misguided souls and support the green and white. With a solid draft to go with the FA signings there might not be much room on the bandwagon come November or so.

GO JETS!
