Official Chicago White Sox GU

[35th&Shields]

Gonna start with my most recent pick up. Probably the biggest impact player the South Siders have ever seen for a mid-season acquisition. With out this everyday 3rd baseman, In my opinion, The Sox are probably in 2nd place looking up at the Tigers. Jersey shows Nice use with pine tar on the shoulders and side. and other staining on front and back of this cool base jersey.

YOUUUUUUUK!!!

Nice where did you pick that up at?

Re: Official Chicago White Sox GU

Thanks Fellas for the feedback. I picked up this Youk and Rios at the 4th annual charities auction the first week in Aug at the park. Wasnt sure what would be available come Soxfest, so I decided to pull the trigger on this one.

Solid looking equipment! Thrilled you added it to the thread. Would luv to see how you set up your Thomas frame when you get it. That would be a Grail of mine. A photomatched Thomas jersey. Any year will do.

Re: Official Chicago White Sox GU

Here is the other pick up I had at the Park. I would say a career year for Rios thus far. Rios and AJ IMO are probably the most consistent players we have this year. As far position players go. Nice pine tar on the right shoulder running into the patch as well. Im guessing some tobacco juice on the front too.

Re: Official Chicago White Sox GU

Like I said, I don't collect jerseys, but is that a straight hem on the Youkilis? Never seen that before, or I never noticed. Though all jerseys had the shirt tail hem...

Re: Official Chicago White Sox GU

Nice catch! I noticed that right away too. The interior tag has + 3inches of body length. My guess is that is why it has the straight hem? Could somebody chime in on that and confirm? Thanks

Re: Official Chicago White Sox GU

I thought a Ventura jersey would be relevant for this thread at this time. First year manager for the SouthSide and a first place team majority of the AL Central thus far.Im Hoping to pick up a 2012 jersey at next years SoxFest to add to my collection. Little did he know that in '95 he would be managing the Sox in 2012 and winning a WS Championship the same season.

This jersey is photo matched to many cards and pics through out the '95 season. Robin wore both Wilson and Russel that season but in my opinion this was his most worn home pinstripe. With all the matches I have found and judging by the use of this gamer. Im thrilled to have this in my collection.

I like to use the under arm pinstripes to determine my concrete photo matches if applicable. Patches, numbers and last names are just as good. In my opinion its pretty hard to reverse photo match pinstripes in certain areas.

Re: Official Chicago White Sox GU

The Rios shirt has no set tags?...all the recent sox shirts i have seen all have year set and size located under majestic tag.. Dave???

[35th&Shields]

Re: Official Chicago White Sox GU

Flaco1801, I agree with you as well. I would say all regular season jerseys have the strip tag under the majestic tag label. My guess is since this is a one time gamer it did not receive any additional tagging. A hologarm with MLB Authentication was placed on the majestic tag label for this Rios.

I have seen a few gamers from this past charity auction along with other game worn jerseys (TBTC, St Patty's Day etc..) with and with out the strip tag. The ones I've seen have had MLB Authentication though.

Hopefully other Sox fans can jump in and assist!

Re: Official Chicago White Sox GU

With a Big 4 game series underway Here is a player that both The Sox and Tigers can appreciate. As he only played for these two teams in his 15 year career. White Sox '97-'04. Tigers '05-'11. He is has since then announced his retirement this year. Another one of my favorite players when he was here on the South Side.

This '03 Alt shows awesome use. Many photo matches on cards and pics. From the shoulder pin stripes, under arms, stripes running through the name, numbers and logo, loose threads and even puckering. I've matched it all! Another solid gamer in my collection. I was thrilled when the last owner of this Ordonez jersey reached out to me and made this transaction possible. Thanks!
