1999 Jeff Bagwell Astros game used road grey Victory jersey!
I have a 1999 Jeff Bagwell Game Used Houston Astros road grey Victory jersey (Sixe 48) available for sale. The jersey comes with a Grey Flannel Letter of Authenticity with photos of the jersey itself.
One item to point out is that the jersey does show some extensive laundry damage. There are several bleach marks on the front and backside of the jersey, which appear to be attempts to clean off possibly pine tar and dirt stains. There is also some staining around the patches sewn on the jersey as well. I tried to include as many photos as possible so you can see for yourself.
The back of the jersey actually isn't as bad as the front, with only a couple of noticeable bleach marks. The 'Bagwell' nametape and number '5' on the back appear to be in fairly good condition with some slight fraying and scratches, which are consistent with normal game use. They also display noticeable puckering, which is common with jerseys that have ben laundered a lot. The nametape is also a little darker than the rest of the jersey, which I actually think adds a little character to the piece! This jersey actually wouldn't look too bad if it were framed showing the back of it, and would look even better with a bold silver autograph on the number '5.'
There are also a few small frayed areas on the jersey, which apear to have been repaired on the inside by the Astros clubhouse. This is pretty common with Astros gamers. From talking with Chris Boyd at Houston Sports Investments, it appears that Bagwell didn't go through many jerseys in the late 90s. So, it is possible that this jersey was worn extensively during the 1999 season. The fraying of the patches and the inside repair work are strong evidence that this jersey saw a lot of action.
I am asking for $700 for this item. If it weren't for the laundry damage, this could easily be a $1,500 piece. But, I think $700 is reasonable considering the game use , and the fact that it could still display well if framed showing the backside of the jersey. Any reasonable offer will be considered, though. Please e-mail me at: loumud@yahoo.com with any interest, or if you would like more photos of the item.
Thanks!
