1981 George Brett jersey on eBay
Any thoughts on this jersey? It looks really dirty, but the signature looks good. Tagging correct? What does the forum think?
Scott
If this is legit, boy, what a great piece!

Please see my post from yesterday regarding another Brett jersey on Ebay. This has the same type/style of year tagging that is not standard "Swiss Embroidery" used by Wilson during this era.

It's interesting to note that this jersey ended at over $3,000 and the underbidder I believe was Troy at MEARS....

Collect GU Dave-
Not a shocker at all. Hunt auctions had a similar Brett with a MEARS LOA that was pulled after it was pointed out that the embroidery was the same incorrect style with a dash between the year and set. Based on MEARS writing a LOA on the bogus Hunt auctions jersey, are you really shocked that Troy from MEARS bid on this?

Jim-
The 1 in 81 is completely wrong for Wilson style embroidery. It should not have the tail on top or bottom, just a vertical line.
You will often see this type of embroidery on 1981 Phillies jerseys, which is a dead giveaway that it's bad. Here is a prime example of a bad 1981 Phillies Bowa with similar tagging for the 1: http://www.eddolan.com/bowa_1981-r.htm

Re: 1981 George Brett jersey on eBay
Howard - as an add on to my last post - someone who knows jerseys from this era should ask Troy the question - on the MEARS site - of why he would bid $3,000 on this item ........maybe he knows something that we don't?? Jim
