Received my Bricol winning this week: a "Marv Foley Baltimore Orioles 1999 Game Used Coaches Home Jersey."
The quotes are there for a reason. I knew when I bid on it that it was a BLUEFIELD Orioles home jersey, and had no problem with that, as it would compliment my Bluefield road jersey. I was fine with that. But I just about fell off my chair when I read the "LOA" that accompanied this piece, which basically just describes the jersey, then notes that it comes with a "Lou Lampson LOA!" (Exclamation point in the original!)

How could ANYBODY who claims to be an expert authenticator NOT know that this was not a BALTIMORE Orioles jersey? Rawlings last made jerseys for the big club in 1991, yet this jersey is claimed to be a 1999 model. It has a neck tag! IF it was a 1999 Baltimore jersey, where's the bird? Where's the Ripken Sr memorial #7? Where's the year tag? Where's the glorious future I was promised if I quit chasing loose women and recreational drugs? (Sorry, got carried away there.) Now, I've seen a lot of misidentified Orioles minor league stuff out there, a bunch of it on Bricol, but this "LOA" was so funny it went all the way around to sad...kinda like the Orioles offseason so far...
Happy New Year to All on the Forum (you too, Lou!)
