game worn jersey washed or unwashed?

[amex46]

what do you think is the best state to keep a game worn jersey in..unwashed or washed, i just obtained an nfl game worn jersey after a game 2 weeks ago in an unwashed state and it STINKS!....if i were to wash it i would wash it in cold water to take the smell out..do you think me washing it would take any value away from it..thanks

unwashed all the way. i obtained a world series jersey that was worn in the final, victorious game. it was obviously washed afterwards. upon seeing the celebration in the clubhouse, with champagne flying everywhere, i really wish my jersey had all the stains and champagne smell on it.

anyway, if it smells, just spray a little febreeze on it. presto, it'll still have the stains but will smell like a valley of wild lilacs on a warm summer day.

I would def. now wash it. Why dont you get a glass case or something like that to put it in????

I meant not not now

if you dont wash it you can always get dna and have it authenticated by dr. henry lee. this answer may seem odd, but no more foolish than the question? Jeff

I have quite a few stinky items myself (mostly hats). I just keep them in a case and I don't smell a thing.

who wore the jersey?

If you frame an unwashed jersey, there is a possibility that moisture form the jersey (sweat, blood, urine, spit, snot, water) can fog up the frame,

who wore the jersey?

That's what I was wondering along with how they got it so fast and can they get any others?

why would a jersey have urine on it
