Forum Readers-
I was asked about the following jacket:
It is described as a 1989 Phillies Mike Schmidt jacket. Where does one begin to try to determine how Lampson or anyone could write a LOA on this?:
1. Phillies did not wear this style in 1989 with the players name on back
2. Phillies NEVER wore this style made by Rawlings during any season
with the players name on back in this style.
3. Phillies wore a similar Starter brand unlined style in 1989, not Rawlings
brand.
4. The Phillies did wear unlined Rawlings jackets during the 1987/1988
seasons, however, they were made of a knit material (not
satin) with ribbed elastic cuffs/waistband and collar. Likewise, the
names on back were on a plate and in a different style white tackle
twill material.
The LOA is from Lou Lampson/100% Authentic. I tried to find a copy of it onthe 100% Authentic site (http://www.100percentauthentic) however, can't locate one. Can anyone locate a copy as shown in the Ebay listing and post it here?
I'd be curious to learn what type of information Lampson used to determine the "authenticity" of this jacket? Can a similar jacket from 1989 be produced from a common player? How about a photo from Getty or similar photo service? A photo from a Phillies publication? Baseball card?
Should a fellow Forum reader have any evidence that this type of jacket was ever used by Schmidt, or for that matter, the Phillies in 1989, by all means please contact me or post it here. Quite possibly you can also locate a photo of Ripken wearing the amazingly rare green St. Patrick's jersey that Lamspon also wrote a LOA on.
