Re: Equipment Blunders

Sure hope you didn't buy that junk? I almost got suckered in on it until I realized the spelling was off and watched rewind from every game at home that montg. Beautiful Jersey and a cheap 400 price tag. Was in the kill zone until I realized it was a disaster. Woulda been a cool error Jersey find and conversation piece if it was actually worn in a game and the bears equipment manager didn't catch it!!! I think it could be worth more money like that especially if it was a big name player like Urlacher, better then an error card! Thoughts???

Actually you are incorrect, the jersey was never worn and the jersey Patrick is wearing agaibst Carolina is how you really spell his name!!! If you did you homework you would know that MANNELLY is the correct spelling. The owner of that jersey was notifyed about this and was shown video evidence from NFL rewind that this jersey was never worn in a game, In any Oct BCA GAME for that matter. He still refused to change the listing from game used to game issued!!! At best its another piece of NFL auction misleading junk as the psa cert does say game worn! MANNLEY IS INCORRECT. A Bears Expert would know thus though.

Former major league player Dane Sardinha played independent league baseball here in Hawaii last year. I was the official team photographer & I got the following photo during the same at bat. The front of the jersey shows #27 while the back has #24. He wore the jersey for the first 3 games until the new one arrived.

That's happened a few times since, too

Image link didn't work, but the link shows the jersey.

In my collection, I have an Ellis Burks's Red Sox road gamer with "Burkes" on back.

note the misspelling of the Bill Ripken Worth game used bat that he used in 1987 Spring Training:

Re: Equipment Blunders

With Samets being a Bears fan and collector, I wanted to share a blunder in my collection of a Birmingham Americans (WFL) road jersey of former-Bears linebacker Ross Brupbacher. They forgot to include the "p" on the nameplate!

The Americans wore this fishnet style jersey on the road (wore white at home) during the early part of the season in the summer months before switching to mesh in the second half of the season as the weather cooled.
