Re: Bill North Game Used 1976 A's Jersey Lelands

Mark's (Moustache Gang) information was indeed helpful, though I find it a bit interesting that well over 72 hours later, none of the information he shared about the NOB being restored has found its way as an addendum to the OP's current eBay auction:

Actually, Mark has the highest bid on it right now-so he must not be too worried about it. The only thing that is for certain is that the 76 patch is not on it. The name has not been restored-it's all original-as is everything else on it. As far as the name being a little different slanted, I don't see it at all-I have photos of the back of his jersey and it looks good to me. That's just Mark's opinion and he only has one other North jersey and it's from a different season (1975). I don't think he'd be bidding up to 300.00 on it already if he had a serious problem with it.

If I thought there was a problem with the jersey, I'd be the first one to remove it. I don't believe there is. I disclosed the missing patch in the listing. Nothing else has been altered on that jersey. It comes from Lelands which has one of the best reputations as for as auction houses go, and the tagging, numbering, size, etc. are all correct. If you think I'll pull my auction because one guys says I think the O in North might be off because it doesn't quite compare to my other North from a different year, you're crazy. I'll need more than that to pull it. Like I said, already, Mark aka Moustache gang, which provided his opinion on here, has the highest bid RIGHT NOW at almost 300.00. Though not a perfect jersey with the missing patch, I still believe it's a solid gamer.

Forum Readers,

. . . The name on back in not original. The telltale sign is the "O" in North. The inside angles on numerous A's letters (O, J, C, D, G, P, R, U) from 1972 to 1976 have a 45 degree inside angle and not a 90 degree angle. The "O" on this jersey exhibits a 90 degree angle which is incorrect. This is clearly a restoration and not the original "NORTH". I currently own a '75 green North with all original lettering . . .

Thanks,

Mark

Is it possible to post photos so we can compare?

Thanks,
