Re: November Pick Ups

genius,

I saw the picture of your Notre Dame jersey. . .

just a thought - if you have a 1988 football media guide, there are a lot of pictures of players from the 1986 and 1987 season with close ups (albeit black and white) of the jersey style that you may want to check out. In particular, does your jersey have a champion patch on either of the arms at all, or evidence of one have been removed? Also, make sure you carefully compare the monogram with your jersey versus the old pictures. Just my two cents.

Re: November Pick Ups

Beavisrules--here's an SI cover of Tim Brown wearing the same ND style in 1986, fishnet mesh body and sleeves, sewn patches, numbers on sleeves, etc. No Champion patch on mine but the fishnet holes on the sleeves are so large that it could easily be removed or lost without much evidence. I'm confident enough that this is legit, it's a one-year style that has fallen through the cracks because they were 5-6 or something like that in Holtz's first season. I remember watching Pitt play ND that year and thinking that the ND jerseys looked strange. One thing about this jersey is that someone could easily reverse all of the 8s and the 1s and then voila a Tim Brown gamer with an SI cover to back it up! Thanks!

Re: November Pick Ups

Genius,

Look again at your SI cover jersey, particularly at the monograms on the arm. Now compare that to your jersey. Of note, look at the thickness of the monogram letters in your jersey vs the magazine cover, as well as the space between the monogram letters in your jersey (almost no visible jersey between the letters of the monogram) and the Brown jersey on the SI cover (jersey visible between the letters because they are skinny). The arms on that jersey are my concern. Also, I understand what you're saying about the champion patches, but champion affixed them to the jerseys really well - it wouldn't have been able to fall off without being ripped off.

Just my two cents and just trying to help - not trying to be a pain.

Happy Thanksgiving.

Re: November Pick Ups

Not all were picked up in November but the one with the crack through the trademark was used in the playoffs and most likely the World Series. The tar/dirt is so built up that its created its own layer on the handles-you can't see the wood.

Re: November Pick Ups

I do see that actually and it wouldn't be the first mistake I've ever made! But the mesh and the shoulder material match perfectly as well as the material-transition points so this jersey has to be something ND game-related. "1" font is identical, the shoulder "8"s close if not exact, front "8" does seem a bit different though. Maybe an earlier set or a practice jersey. From what I can tell 1986 was the only year Notre Dame had the huge fishnet mesh jerseys with the solid shoulders and both the number and the ND, so it will still look good on the wall! If anyone has more information to offer that would be great. Anyway, check out my "Bettis" ND lacrosse jersey! Just picked that one up as well, I think it's from 1990.

Re: November Pick Ups

I received a very nice pair of Jose Vidro Nationals game used batting gloves today. Show good use on them.

Got them at a great price, which is always a plus!!

Re: November Pick Ups

1978-80 San Francisco Giants game used alternate orange/black New Era hat.

Worn by catcher Dennis Littlejohn (and possibly worn prior to that by Mike Ivie)

I answered an ad here locally from a Giants fan who wanted to sell this. Hat is signed twice by Littlejohn. Scratched out number above the 47 is 15 (Ivie)

Re: November Pick Ups

This might be a dumb question, but I have a good reason for asking. Would two players really have shared the same hat? I have a Pirates hat with both "21" and "7" marked inside it, Mears authenticated it as game-worn but said they couldn't say for sure that it was either Clemente or whoever #7 was, even though the hat is size 6 7/8 or 7 at most which is what Clemente wore. Thanks!

Here's my guess - Either Ivie wore the hat for the first part of the year and turned it in to get a newer looking one or....

Little john was called up in July. Perhaps they were scrambling to find him a hat to wear and Ivie let him borrow this one. Its not unusual to reissue equipment. I plan to write to both and ask.

PS - Giants fans - the hat is available if anyone's interested.....I'm not going to put a price on it but I'll listen to best offers.
