Kyle,

Good work as usual! I might need to employ your services for my Hunter Pence pinstripe from 2008. The thing is hammered. I have photomatched it to a couple of walk-off hits and most of the season as well. The front of the jersey is torn up from tons of head first slides. I will post pics later!

MGonzo-

Was that the Tejada that was in the group of Astros jerseys recently auctioned off on MLB.com?

I'm glad I was able to help. It's amazing seeing that the jersey you have was worn by Tejada the whole season. I couldn't find not 1 picture of Tejada NOT wearing a jersey that matched the pinstripes on the jersey you have.

SWEET!!! I love pin stripe uniforms, just for that reason. I've been able to match a Todd Helton the same way.

Thank you to Kyle for helping everyone out.

I hope this doesn't fall under the idea of OT.

This post made me think of something. I've always heard sellers and authenticators saying stuff like "shows proper usage" or "typical wear for position", etc. I know that we can't figure out how many games the jersey was worn, but perhaps with photo matching we will get an idea whether the jersey was worn for 1 game, 1 series, 1 home stand, or during several months.

Perhaps when we get these type of photo matches on uniforms we could include photos showing the areas of wear, the wear of the tagging, and how many games we were able to find photo matches of. I think that would give us a better idea of what type of wear a jersey should show. Would that be helpful to anyone?
