In his 1981 Minor league card, he was wearing the gray road.

Re: Wade Boggs Pawtucket & 83 Red Sox Lelands Nov 07 Auction

I had two questions e-mailed to me about both jerseys yesterday, and I thought I would also answer them here. First, what kind of use is on both jerseys? The Red Sox has worn piping (see the Leland photos enlarged) and the back of the jersey had pine tar stains on the shoulder areas. The Pawtucket jersey and pants show wear in the collar and shoulder areas. It is also the same jersey as Wade is wearing in his only minor league card from 1981. Is it the VERY SAME? I can not say.
Second question, why am I parting with a 81 and 83 Boggs after all these years in my collection? I got divorced this year, and moved back to Illinois from Florida. After seeing 1992 Boggs jerseys going for $1400, I figured a 1983 Home would sell for a better price. The Pawtucket being the only Minor league jersey I have seen on the market of Wade Boggs, I figured it would go to some diehard Boggs or Red Sox collector!

Can anyone tell me if there is a down market in game used jerseys right now? I was just looking at the prices on the jerseys in Lelands and other companies auctions. Game used bats look like they are doing better than jerseys. Even hard to get rare jersey had low in price compared to game used bats.

I like to thank Ironmanfan for his help in answering the question on the helmet. Most minor league teams up until the mid 80's used hand me downs from the major league teams. Thank you for the question.

Re: Wade Boggs Pawtucket & 83 Red Sox Lelands Nov 07 Auction

Awesome. Thanks. I'd be interested to find out when (and why) it became mandatory for minor leaguers to wear both flaps. '83 maybe?

Re: Wade Boggs Pawtucket & 83 Red Sox Lelands Nov 07 Auction

I know that Ripken used a single ear flap with Rochester in '81 (same time period).
