Re: 1999 Griffey Alternate Jersey in Grey Flannel Auction
I don't know what the original questioner was hoping for, but "bump" is a way to move a thread to the top asking for more answers. The first reply stated the jersey appears correct, I'm not sure what other opinions the questioner was hoping for.
If everything is correct, why would someone suddenly chime in that there are issues with the jersey?

Just looking for a couple more opinions, not that I don't trust the replier, but just seeing if anyone else wanted to chime in, that's all. Thanks!

Re: 1999 Griffey Alternate Jersey in Grey Flannel Auction
This is one of those auction that I always say "Just because it looks old, doesn't mean it was game used".
Who knows how many different owners this jersey has had. It looks old and from the details are of the correct time period but it doesn't look used.
You could take any game issued jersey today, leave it in a room that gets good sunlight, never dust it, and in 11 years, it would look like this jersey.

This has become a problem on the forum, people say things are bad but don't give any real reasons, we can all trash items without actually giving actual observations. If you think something is bad explain why!

Re: 1999 Griffey Alternate Jersey in Grey Flannel Auction
As far as use goes, there may not be much...I scanned 1999 Mariners game photos on Getty, and, while they don't show every game, the first photos in which I saw the blue Russell alternates being worn were from July 15 and July 17, which was the opening series at Safeco Field. Before that (and sporadically after that) the blue alternates they wore were the Majestic BP-style jerseys.
Can any Seattle collectors and/or Mariners fans confirm or refute my findings?
