Opinions: Jay Bruce Game Used Louisville Jersey

[justinwc80]

I recently purchased this Jay Bruce jersey from thesofasurfer on ebay. I'm looking for some opinions since this is my first minor league jersey. The size seems a bit large but I'm hoping some other collectors can offer insight. Thanks as always guys.

To the best of my recollection, those jerseys should have been accompanied by a letter from the team. I believe the Bats were selling those in packages where you had to buy the home and road jerseys together, but Jay Bruce could have been an exception.

I would call the Bats and ask who handles jersey sales. I'm sure someone there could help. Earl Stubblefield used to be the person in charge of selling jerseys but I'm not sure if he does that anymore.

I believe you are correct. From what I remember they were sold in packages as well. I also seem to recall that Bruce was included in those packages for a very hefty price tag. My suggestion is to contact the team...they would probably be able to shed some light on the matter.

What concerns me is the wash tag. Usually after several washes they are rolled up. Contact Earl.

Size 50 is right on for Bruce. But the BATS are pretty good at providing letters with their game used items, so as everyone else has said Earl Stubblefield is your guy to contact.

If I remeber correctly theosurfer also sold the home version as well. I know I saw the home jersey on Ebay that was hundreds of dollars maybe more, just can't remember the seller.

Thanks everybody for the help, I talked to Earl and he thought the jersey looked good but thought Jay wore a size 46. He has been very helpful. It sounds like the 50 could be correct though. I'll keep looking for photos to match the jersey. If anyone runs across any I would be very appreciative.

Just got an email back from Earl and he said they had one set of 32 home/road jerseys in 2008 and according to their records they were size 46. Any thoughts?

This may be the COA. I can't read it that well. But the guy is selling some Bruce cleats from the Bats. But the COA says something about a jersey, and pants as well. Hope this helps.

From what I can tell, it says:

This letter certifies that the following Louisville Bats player equipment was all used by Jay Bruce in 2008

Spikes -- game used Nike shoes -- marked with #32 and dirty

This equipment was originally purchased from the Louisville bats by XX of XX, XX. (can't quite make out)

Feel free to contact me if you have any questions concerning the history? of this equipment.
