Re: tage question?

Whoops your right as I am right. I glanced at it and saw the Gooden Tag. Well then my point stands there are 3 possibly 4 1990 set 1 Strawberry Jerseys floating around out there as Gamers.

I am starting to notice a trend of the 1990 Season. Is it possible Scoreboard made quite a few different players Jerseys to the Correct specifications. If so I am starting to think to stay away from any 1990 Jersey cuz just the possibility of it being a Scoreboard Jersey scares me.

Here are noted Scoreboard Jersey Players. Also these particular players had Very ood Seasons in 1989 and 1990. Can anyone else think of any other player Scoreboard may have duplicated?

Bo Jackson
Ken Griffey Jr.
Darryl Strawberry - POSSIBLY

Re: tage question?

There's also seems to be a large amount of Gregg Jefferies 1990 jersey's out there too.

Re: tage question?

Metsbats good job, Gregg Jeffries had a good 1990 season also I believe.
Metsbats can you point out where you have seen some of the Gregg Jeffries 1990 Jerseys?

Re: tage question?

Rudy,

I do believe that some teams in this era did have redundant tagging from Rawlings on there jerseys.

Here is an example:

Re: tage question?

Joel,

Good catch. The Cubs were the kings of redundancy in the late 1980's.

Re: tage question?

Rob-
The Phillies did the same type of tagging with their Rawlings pants in 1987-1991. Although the standard Rawlings tag was present with the size, they also incorporated an embroidered strip tag to the right with the player's uniform #, waist size, inseam, year/set and then also added the usual white flag tag with the year and set AGAIN!

there was one on ebay about a month ago, it was not being sold as game used, it was tagged 90 set 1 I believe

Re: tage question?

I too have one of those Gregg Jeffries 1990 set 1 jerseys. The likeness to the real deal is absolutely uncanny. There is no wear whatsoever, so I thought it was "game issued" -- I originally thought I was getting the bargain of the century, paying only about $80 for it... but when I started seeing more and more of them, I thought otherwise... I have literally seen about a half a dozen come through ebay in the past year or two. I am happy to know that they are more than likely Scoreboard jerseys. I wouldn't want to have to find out that my "prized" jersey is a fake.

Re: tage question?

TnT You said your glad to know its a scoreboard Jersey and not a fake?????

Scoreboard Jerseys are replicas. They may not be bootlegged Jerseys but they are not authentic!!! They were Jerseys made for autograph signings.

What makes a jersey an "authentic"?

The jersey was made by Rawlings, similar to what makes a Mitchell & Ness jersey not an "authentic"? They are authentically made jerseys with proper tagging, just the Rawlings jerseys do not have tagging to let you know if they were made a year later or as extras.

Needless to say, the issue here is what does the term "authentic" really mean because it is a loosely defined word?

Re: tag question?

joel, rob, & howard,

good info. there are always some oddities out there. i wonder if those strip tags on the 80's cubs jerseys were done by a local shop rather than rawlings?

cleveland indians' rawlings jerseys in the early 90's lacked a standard rawlings flag tag. instead they had a strip tag denoting the year and set. for some reason, it seemed cleveland preferred the info to be displayed via strip tag and chose not to have the flag tags. on the jersey order forms, i believe a team could specify what information they wanted displayed and how it should be displayed. i think rawlings affixed their generic flag tag on most pro jerseys simply because it was basic, standard info info that was wanted by most teams.

eric & suave: nice catch on the 4th 1990 set 1, autographed strawberry.
eric is there a way you can peruse previous grey flannel auctions?
suave, add jose canseco to the list. the scoreboard cansecos were home jerseys, autographed, tagged as "2 90". i also suspect scoreboard did some nolan ryan, rawlings, home jerseys tagged "34 1 1989".

lengthwise: given that in only 2 days, 4 of these jerseys have been found, all identical and with minimal use, it seems that if you're in the market for a strawberry jersey, you might want to avoid 1990 home v-necks.

You can't do it through the grey flannel website. I did it thru google

I typed in Strawberry "Grey Flannel"

When the results come up, click on "cached" instead of the link and it will take you to the web page that used to exist.

This also has worked for american memorabilia auction listings which i could no longer find in their archives

Re: tage question?

I tend to agree with Rudy on this one. I have seen the following examples of 1990 Mets jerseys:
Without year/set tag BUT with strip tagging
With year/set tag BUT with no strip tagging

Re: tage question?

Here is a list of known or believed Scoreboard style jerseys:

1990 Greg Jefferies
1989 Nolan Ryan
1990 Jose Canseco
1989 Bo Jackson
1989 Ken Griffey Jr.

Can anyone add any to this list?
