Very good read...my congrats. I grew up in the 70's and when you saw a jersey, you knew that there was no chance ever of having one like it. I had a classmate who had a Chicago Bears jersey that had been relegated to a practice jersey, that a relative had somehow procured for him, a road jersey #49, nameplate had been removed, but you could see where it once had been. It looked like it had been drug behind a truck for several miles, but it was the coolest thing I'd ever seen. I have a very modest collection of football & baseball jerseys, but I thoroughly enjoy them, especially the older ones.

Thanks man! I love hearing other collectors stories like that. It's what makes the hobby fun when you share a similar passion.

I still have all my issues saved from the 90s. Was an incredible honor to have them run my story.

Which issues do you have signed?

Great article indeed! The joy of the hunt, the learning by manufacturer of the various characteristics of a jersey a player wore and then photo matching is a great thrill. Thanks for sharing.
