Re: photo match opinions on a Yankees jersey.

It's not perfect, but you can still spot out pinstripes to match up. Good luck!

here is a photo of the back of the jersey, can't really tell myself but what do you all think?

hope everyone had a safe and great holiday weekend!

just out of curiosity, do any of you know if it is possible to obtain or purchase a digital image from Reuters? it would be great to get a higher larger resolution photo of the Tino photo I made in the first post. if so, can you give me a contact to speak to for this? thank you!

It appears to match. I was a little concerned by the pinstripe and the right bottom of the "2" but the game photo doesn't have enough resolution to show the slight gap. All others line up well including the stripe running through the MLB logo.

thank you Rob, fellow member jscott graciously sent another photo with great resolution of Tino in the dugout and I was taking a look at it and noticed what appears to be a photo match with the white thread stitching overlapping the outter pinstripe, also the second button looks to have some more of the white stitching above it. your thoughts?

I would definitely say that you have a match. I mean, even if they did make two Martinez jerseys, what would be the chances that the pinstripe patterns would be practically identical?

thanks jscott, and for providing the great close up that might be the most distinguishing area for a photo match. I wonder which collector has the pants and cap, it would have been wonderful to own the entire uniform.
