Re: Rickey Henderson Jerseys
"The stitching of the name is identical.."
come on juan. i know its your jersey and you're a good guy but look at it objectively. nick coppola may be as blind as a bat but you don't have to be. the "r", "o", "n", "8", "5", and "3" is clearly not correct. you could also probably make a decent argument for the "H" and "s".
the "r": notice the wilson "r" has 2 distinct top points. yours has 1 and the second one just fades downward.
the "o": the loop should slope downwards. yours slopes directly across/horizontally.
the "n": notice how wilson ends off a name; with a noticeably upward stroke. yours just dies in the middle with a big blob in it.
the "8": the top half of your "8" looks filled in. i have seen many 70s and 80s wilson gamers and never seen half of the "8" filled in.
the "5": its just completely wrong. every aspect of it.
the "3": wrong as well.
this isn't an '85 thing or a yankees thing or a henderson thing. it's the standard wilson embroidery font. they used the same font on all of their MLB gamers in the 70s up until 1988 when they switched to a new font. i could show wilson blue jays gamers from the 80s and they'd show the same font as the yankees shirts shown in this thread.
"and there is no evidence of the tag being removed.."
noone mentioned a tag being removed. dave "CollectGU" o'brien said the collar may have been opened up. in order to get the strip tag on there without having the stitching show through the back of the jersey, they'd have to open the white collar lining up from the bottom and sew it through there and then re-attach the white collar lining. here is the area that they'd have to open up and re-sew. it should be sewn via a serged stitch as shown on danny's jersey. wilson used that white collar lining on all of their shirts during that era and the bottom was affixed via a serged stitch. i can show pics of 100 jays wilson gamers and they all have the white collar lining affixed via a serged stitch. check exactly how the bottom of the white collar lining is stitched. the style of the stitching i mean. maybe you can post some closeup pics:
"I trust Grey Flannel authenticity.."
you could fill a book with all of the mistakes GFC has made. at times i seriously wonder if nick coppola is legally blind.
"everything that I sell is backed up by ME and this buyer has a LIFETIME guarantee on the piece."
i think thats phenomenal. really. too bad GFC doesn't have the same policy.
