Forum Readers-
Last year, I posted a thread from a major auction house that was offering a Starter brand Pete Rose Phillies jacket. I challenged the auction house and fellow Forum readers to provide me with one photo os Rose or any Phillies player from the Pete Rose era (1979-1983) wearing a quilted Starter jacket. No photo or evidence has ever been provided to this day.
Now we have Broadway Rick's with this Rose jacket:
Correct style wilson jacket, however, the Phillies did not have numbers on the sleeves of this style jacket. Again, bad jacket with a James Spence LOA. Again, I challenge any Forum reader to find a photo of any Phillies player from this era (1979-1983) wearing a knit Wilson brand jacket, NOB, with a # on the sleeve. I have Schmidt and Bob Boone's same style knit jackets at this Rose (both purchased directly from the Phillies), and neither have #'s on the sleeve, as is the correct style.
As I always say, a little homework must be done before depending on these worthless LOA's.
