Re: Score Board History
For what it's worth, I have a retail A's jersey from that era and it does have the velcro. I wouldn't mind getting one of those ScoreBoard jerseys for my collection until I can find a gamer. I just don't want to pay game used prices. Furthermore it appears the one on ebay has dirt stains on it to simulate game use. So if I bought that one I'd have to have it cleaned.
One more thing. Do the Score Boards have the extra 2 inches of length? I can't tell by the photos I've seen and there's no tag specifying.

Re: Score Board History
dan and jason,
as you both know, those scoreboard 1990 home cansecos with the "2 90" tag are everywhere. there are literally dozens of them out there. most are usually autographed. personally, this fact alone would make me completely avoid any 1990 home canseco with the "2 90" label.
scoreboard made impressively detailed jerseys. their 1989 bo jackson has the perfect vertically arched nob. the cansecos are tagged perfectly. these weren't the standard retail issue. they had pro tags, sewn inside the jerseys. they came from someone with the ability to order such jerseys from rawlings. as such, i believe they were authentic in almost every detail.
jason, i agree that it's unlikely that canseco wore a 50 in 1990. as both you and dan have seen, canseco wore 46's and 48's from the early to mid 90s.
dan you asked about the velcro. it wasn't scoreboard that made these jerseys. it would've have been them that put the velcro on. someone ordered them from rawlings in order to sell via scoreboard. perhaps it was the players themselves or their reps. as i said, the jerseys are pro-spec in practically every sense. therefore, it wouldn't be surprising at all to see velcro.
here is a 1989 scoreboard bo jackson:
www.americanmemorabilia.com/Auction_Item.asp?Auction_ID=27239
notice it has the velcro closures.
lelands JUST sold a 1990 "2 90" home canseco:
and wow wee, here's yet another one on ebay right now:
the one on ebay notes that it has the velcro fasteners. to answer your question dan, i believe that because these were pro-spec jerseys ordered from rawlings, they did include the velcro closures even though they were being offered for retail sale via scoreboard.
if i was in the market for a 1990 canseco, i'd look for a road jersey.

Re: Score Board History
does the scoreboard 1990 Canseco jerseys have the velcro inbetween the 2nd and 3rd button? I have a 1990 Canseco jersey that does have the velcro. it would just seem werid, that scoreboard would but the velcro on for a game issued jersey. thanks DanLeave a comment:

Re: Score Board History
I want to ressurect this thread to add a couple thoughts about the Score Board Canseco jerseys. First of all I'm not 100% sure Canseco wore a size 50 in 1990. I have always seen him wear size 46 to 48. I'm not sure I've ever seen an authentic Canseco 1990 jersey though so it's hard to say. Also, I've seen a lot of these 1990 Score Board jerseys and they are all signed in the same area. However, some are signed in blue and others in black. I found that a little odd. It's a shame that these are being mistaken for the game used.
Does anyone own a real game used 1990 Canseco jersey?

Re: Score Board History
I had forgotten how much Don West sounded like Chris Farley (particulary when Chris played the character Matt Foley, thrice divorced and living in a van down by the river!).Leave a comment:

Joel and Warren...
Hysterical! That website is worth checking out, as well.
A great place to start is at the bottom of the page:
STILL OFF THE AIR
05-01-2001
Don is still off the air. Read this if you're unaware of the crisis.
Listen to what the lovely Kearstin at Shop at Home has to say about it.
The call to Kearstin reminds me of a bad Jerky Boys track.

Re: Score Board History
Hey Everyone,
I can say I even remember watching this guy on TV I believe in the late 1990s or so when I was in my early 20s. The thing that amazed me the most is how his voice gets gradually higher in pitch the more excited he would get.
I also watched some of those videos on that website. Absolutely hillarious! Of course some of those are from the early days. I recognize him in his post-moustache years.
Great, great stuff!

Re: Score Board History
Isn't Cheap Seats the best show on television today?
Here is the link for Don West videos.
When you play the videos, you'll see he calls Kenny who helps sell the merchandise. Kenny is none other than The Score Board's Ken Goldin. Ken used to be a great customer of mine. He would pay the most for 1986-87 Fleer Jordan rookies because he was selling them for the most. He also bought Griffey, Jr. rookies like no one could imagine.
Fun, fun, fun!Leave a comment:

Re: Score Board History
Scratch everything from my 2 previous posts...NOT Kenny Goldin. The sports collectible guru that I spent many a night watching in the early 1990s is DON WEST. Don West was the one satired on Saturday Night Live! I just discovered http:www.donwest.org
This is the site with the video clips that I think Joel is referring to...
Don would lay ungraded baseball cards right on the table, and ask the audience: "What will you give me for this '62 Clemente?" Hard to believe this was less than 15 years ago. This was small-time. I don't believe he was National at that time. Does anyone have any knowledge of the pictured show from "Cheap Seats"? How did I miss it! Inside humor at it's peak...Leave a comment:

Re: Score Board History
Joel,
Ken Golden started Golden sports after the fold of Score Board, correct? Is that company still around? I remember Ken used to join the late night boys on Home Shopping Network for the then-outrageous sports collectibles show (I think Saturday Night Live actually did a "bit," based on it).
Reid
P.S. I think the one guy on HSN was "let go" for making outrageous claims about the value of their sale items (e.g., "Folks, there are only three of these Sammy Sosa rookies left ... now is your last chance ever to obtain one of these ... if you are lucky enough to get one, you'll be able to retire soon with the way this thing is skyrocketing in value!!"). Does anyone else remember this?Leave a comment:
