[scottanservitz]

How does this jersey look to you guys? I know very little about baseball jerseys. Tagging look right? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

the tagging looks fine. the only oddity to my eye may be the nob font. i may be hallucinating here but it just strikes me as too thin for some reason. again, i could be totally wrong here because, if it is off, it's off by very, very little. for some reason, the thinness of the font struck me. it could be 100% legit and i could be 100% wrong. if i'm right, it may mean that the nob isn't original and may have been restored. if i were you, i'd request close-up pics that show how the nameplate is sewn on. if the nob font and nameplate are good/original, then i don't see any other issues.

This isnt one of those 1990 Bo Jackson jerseys we've been seeing around is it?

[scottanservitz]

Rudy,
I emailed the seller for closeups. We'll see. I have to agree with you. Something isn't right. All I could get of the backs of '90's jerseys is Junior at an angle from far away. Not too much to go on, but his last name seemed thicker. Thanks for your help.

I compared this to the Henderson Jersey Guide and the sample he has, has the same font. Jersey seems fine and has all the correct tagging.

Here is an example.

1990 mariners shirts are tough to find. here's a 1990 buhner:



and a 1991 hanson:



1989 valle:



re: the henderson guide
is the assumption here that the mariners jersey/font shown in bill's guide is original/unrestored?

it simply looks a little thin to me. this isn't to say it's not "good".

I thought it might be helpful to show all of the nameplates next to eachother to compare fonts, etc. Below are pics of the nameplates from Kingjammy24's jerseys ('90 Buhner, '91 Hanson, '89 Valle) along with the Nixon sample from the Henderson gude and the Vizquel on ebay.

The Nixon appears the most similar to the Vizquel but the Vizquel font seems to be even thinner than the Nixon.
