Washing Jerseys

Re: Washing Jerseys

The forensic anthropologist in me from my college days says that washing will destroy at least some evidence of use; maybe not all but definitely some. Why risk that especially if it's a "try and buy"? Although I just moved up to gamers, I could just never wash an unwashed piece. If it's just issued, etc. I have no problem doing whatever with it, up to and including alteration...

So Greg - would you say that, in looking at the video, that the collar condition is something that may have been prevalent on the Pro Bowl jerseys in 1995?

To me, it looks like Irvin's jersey has something poking up in that same area and Moon's jersey, even more so.

Greg,

I appreciate your efforts - I think you solved the riddle. All you need to do is send me your address and the jacket is yours. I hope you don't mind that Wes Unseld signed the jacket - thanks again,

Jim

Jim,

I appreciate the generous offer, but it's not necessary.
Just the fact that a hoops photo was posted on the Baseball & Bears Board, is payment enough
But if you see some Dr. J. shoes kickin' around, I'd appreciate a heads up.

Re: Washing Jerseys

I personally STRONGLY prefer not altering items post use - adding an autograph being the exception.

I would say adding an autograph to a game worn jersey is altering it considerably more than washing it.

I would also add that at least he was up front enough to inform you he did wash it. Do you really think you would have known that if he didn't disclose it? As far as the photo of Warren I would say that it is not conclusive there is a tear on the collar.
