good photo and the type of thing i'm sure lifson is looking for, i.e. a shot of a jd seals shirt with the lettering just below the top button (most seals photos from the era show the seals lettering well below the top button, perhaps below the second button, which is the case with the other jd photos you supplied). not only does the lettering in the display case photo appear to match up well in terms of position to the top button, but the pinstripes that run through the s and e also appear to match up very well to the auction shirt...
