    Maybe I should have phrased it Pass Mustard....

    Here's a 1951 Team Photo and it does show Gil with short sleeves and in fact he appears to be the only one with said sleeves:

    I'm certainly no expert on Flannel Dodgers Jersey's, but what looks right to me is the short (shorter) sleeves that was a trademark for Gil.

    I too have to wonder about the numbering on the back, but again things were different back then and teams were much more frugal and that may also explain why it's entirely plausable that the Brooklyn Dodgers may have ordered their Jersey's from 2 different suppliers (assuming that they did).

    On something like that, it would be prudent to have the right of refusal if it didn't pass the mustard upon authentication by someone other than LL.

    Frankly, you would think that the seller would have already done that, i.e., spend a little time and money to get it authenticated by one of the trusted names in the industry.

    Here is a 1951 Dodgers home jersey that Leland's sold at auction manufactured by Rawlings:

    the other question as with all dodgers unis is the issue of Wilson as MFR. Rawlings seems dominant mfr. Also, note the 1 on the back and it is hard to find a photo match of that stye of 1.
    But, on the other side, there are some good things. Tagging looks right. Patch location look right.

    The number "14",is that the way it actually looks? It appears to have been stitched from a home sewing machine.

    Yeah, I saw it too...it does have some condition problems, small moth holes and stains, but it is what it is and will fetch a pretty penny....

    WOW!! This is one incredible jersey. I have photos from a couple 51 home Dodger jerseys and this one matches pretty well. The big boys will be lining up to buy this one for their auctions. I'm guessing it's a $20,000.00 jersey. Any thoughts?
