My first Manny Ramirez GU jersey.

[gameused]

Got this in today, and it's my very first Manny Ramirez jersey.

Worn in only one game, it's a signed 2009 San Bernardino, Inland Empires 66er's jesey, class "A" affiliate of the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Manny hit a HR wearing this jersey on June 27 vs the Lake Elsinore Storm. I have some really nice photo matches and will post them later.

Thanks,
Bobby

Very nice jersey Bobby, the loose threads on the LA must have been fairly easy to match.

may I ask how much you paid for this?

The shirt was on ebay and did not sell at $500.

Thanks for the kind words.

I was able to make a deal for the jersey outside of ebay and had the jersey photo matched before we made the deal.

The owner won the jersey at a charity event, I rather not say exactly what I paid, but it was less than what he won the jersey for.

Also, considering only one away jersey was worn by Manny and it's a photo matched HR jersey, which I believe is the only HR Manny hit while on his minor league stint with the 66er's or the Albuquerque Isotopes, I think I got a heck of a deal on it and the seller got a nice tax write off and some cash.

Ricardo....yes, the LA patch with the loose threads is one of the photo matches, looks like the seamstress was really pressed for time to get the jersey ready for Manny, that sewing job looks rushed.


Thank you,
Bobby

Hi Joel,

I been favoring Manny bats over his jerseys as I can spot certain game use traits on his game used bats from collecting all these years.

Unless I get a solid photo match or know the orignal source of his jerseys, I'm kind of weary to pull the trigger and purchase.

Too many of his jerseys on the market have wash tags that are crisp and new and the jersey shows minimal use and no puckering to the numbers.

I've seen "Steiner" authenticated Red Sox game used Manny jerseys with MLB holo's being sold and auctioned that look like they were hanging in Manny's locker all season long, tags are crisp and look brand new.

If you look at his GU bats and his batting helmet, they look abused. I would think his jerseys woud show similar use.

Thanks, Bobby
