Re: Jimmy Rollins 2008 World Series Game Worn Jersey

It was originally believed that Jimmy Rollins kept his game worn 2008 World Series Jersey. It turns out, that's not the case. I just picked it up. Each player was issued 2 home and 2 road for the 08 WS. These were not worn in the regular season and those were sold seperately. After the series, some took 1, some took both. What wasnt taken was stored away and just recently brought out and authenticated. Since the Phillies had no way of knowing which were worn and which werent, they were holo's as issued.

I was able to photomatch this one by using the stripes, as well as some faint dirt residue on the front. Its hard to see it in the photos, but its there. Each and every stripe matches up. The wash tag shows tremendous use for 2 games.

Majestic Cool Base Size 46, 0063 Wash Tag with -2" body length. MLB Authenticated.

Is this a jersey that you bought at the first exhibition game on March 29th? I noticed about this jersey after I sat down for the start of the game, but decided to wait until after the game was over to see about it. I agree with philsfan that this jersey was most likely a used jersey during the season with patch added on, but for $300 it is easily worth that for Rollins even if it is team issued.

I was one of the first people there at that stand because I bought the Halladay (blue), Utley (blue), Brown (blue), and Schmidt (green). With regards to my jerseys that were listed as team issued, the 3 blue jerseys all show use (Halladay is listed as team issued Henderson). The Schmidt jersey would have only been used for 1 game so it would depend on if he wore a jersey for that game (I believe it would be the 2010 St. Patrick's Day game). I really did not want to spend any more, but I could have easily bought the Rollins, along with a few other jerseys, and the hats as well.

Re: April Pickups

I would have to agree with Philsfan. If there was even a slight chance of WS use, those jerseys would have a 4 figure price tag. Though $300 is a steal for a WS issued jersey.

This jersey was one of dozens of "2008 World Series jerseys" that the Phils have marked as team issued. They had others, including Ryan Howard, Ruiz, Victorino, etc. All were being sold at rock bottom prices, if I recall this Rollins was listed for $300. Same with the Howard. Almost none of them showed any use at all, except the Rollins, with the light dirt from sliding on the front. The Phils told me that it was highly unlikely any of these were worn during the 2008 World Series, only to pop of in March of 2011. However, they thought the Rollins was likely used during the regular season and then had a patch added. I'm not trying to discredit your photomatch, but I wouldn't be so sure you got a steal from the Phils. Good luck and thanks for the post.

Re: April Pickups

what did the pink shoes set you back? i would like a pair, but won't give a kidney for one.

I have a few pairs...they start at @ $250 for a pretty good player and then go pretty high for a superstar.

Hey Tony,

Sweet Pujols bat! I know you been looking for a nice Pujols bat! Congrats!

Best Regards, Bobby

Thanks Bobby, it was a long, long, road to satisfaction... literally about 3 years to find one that had all the characteristics, I liked my unsigned one, but it always itched me it wasnt signed. This one took care of that, I also like "game used" inscriptions, so I knocked out two birds with one stone.
