Bo Jackson used Royals jersey's

Re: Bo Jackson used Royals jersey's

The Bo Jackson gamers came in the mail and they are amazing. The 1986 home is likely the jersey he wore to hit his first, and the longest HR in Royals Stadium history (475 feet), and the 1987 baby blue rookie road is wonderful. The pics were terrible and due to the camera angle and folds in the fabric made the "B." look like they were straight and not in the arch style (I was fooled by the pics as well), but they are actually just like the exemplar photo I posted. No signs of alteration are present on either except on the 1987 road there is a circle of stitch marks where the Dick Howser memorial patch was obviously removed. If anyone knows where I can get a "Howser 10" patch to restore that, I may consider doing that, or perhaps I'll just leave it as it is.

Gosh, byergo.........I'm just holding my breath for the answer........this is an AMAZING thread......

Oh, and did I mention I'd hazzard a guess that Rudy is correct in his comment that the "B." on the Royal away jersey NOB is not a vertically cut letter like the rest, therefore one heck of a boondoggle by the manufacturer of the jersey? It was the first thing I noticed when I saw the picture of the back of that fine jersey which you were greatly motivated to sell, I'm sure, and I got quite a chuckle out of it.

Re: Bo Jackson used Royals jersey's

suicide squeeze, these jerseys are not for sale. That assumption is incorrect as are your other assumptions. If you knew what I know about these jerseys you'd understand why I'm so thrilled to have landed them, and at a price far below my high bid. I usually don't care too much about LOA's, but I'm also thrilled with the George Brett provenance and his signature to the LOA. Have a great weekend!

What George Brett provenance? The seller collected Brett stuff. The LOA is from L&M Collectibles. Does the LOA say the jerseys came from Brett or are you assuming that since the seller collected Brett stuff then his two Bo Jackson jerseys must be legit? Also, are you saying George Brett signed the L&M Collectibles LOA?

Just seeking clarification.

Re: Bo Jackson used Royals jersey's

I received this from Byergo. I unfortunately sold him a lineup card last Thursday evening. It has been a week and he is complaining that he hasn't received it.

Anyways, here is his response when I asked him if he will answer my question posted above.

"Why should I trouble myself to answer any of your questions? You are not entitled to any information from me so don't expect any. If you want to educate yourself go out and invest the time like I did before I pulled the trigger and put my money where my mouth is.

Now back to the matter at hand. It's Thursday now and I have no item in hand, so it better get here quick if you want good feedback."

This coming from the guy who believed Scoreboard jerseys are game used.

Scott - go ahead and give me a negative. If one whole week is too long to wait for an item then be my guest.

Re: Bo Jackson used Royals jersey's

here are 3 questions i have:

1) can we see the LOA?

2) can we see a pic of the back of the '87 shirt (laying flat)? the "B" didn't look vertically arched to me. scott says that it is so i'm always interested to learn how i made a mistake so i don't repeat the error in the future.

3) how did scott manage to deduce that the home shirt is the one bo wore when he hit his first HR?

why wouldn't scott want to share all of this?
