Looking for Braves

Re: Looking for Braves

Boy, this thread turned into well, not what I was expecting. But if those players didnt wear block lettering in 05 and your 05s have block lettering, then it sounds like someone screwed up somewhere. But thats just my opinion, I could be wrong.

Anyway SkipCarey can I get your email? I also collect helmets.

Re: Looking for Braves

woah, I guess you guys are right. I know radtke is a huge sports memorabilia company but I guess the jersey really isn't game worn. Every single picture I found of Francoeur from last year has arched lettering on his jersey (btw-big thanks to MVP for starting all of this, I'm a big Braves fan and I'm starting to buy Braves game worn jerseys for my collection and now knowing that they had different lettering last year that helps me out a lot for in the future when I buy jerseys from that year)

Re: Looking for Braves

I realize you might've gotten those jerseys from the team. And I'm not saying they are or aren't real, nor am I trying to start an argument. But I wouldn't trust the Braves wholeheartedly with regard to their COAs. I once bought two replica jerseys from them (no number, name or year tag), yet I still received two COAs stating the jerseys were game worn.

I went to the Braves Clubhouse Store a week ago and I think I saw the same thing. They have these Braves jersey's for $50 each and they look brand new but the price tag says "game worn jersey $50". They have no number,no nameplate,but a 2000 All Star Game patch. Also there is no evidence that a number and nameplate were ever removed

Re: Looking for Braves

I don't think you would find anyone on this forum who would buy a 2005 jersey of chipper, andruw or jeff with block nameplates for $2500 each. maybe as a replica but not as a game worn jersey.

Re: Looking for Braves

You can check every photo of Francoeur of every game that he played in 2005. He never wore a jersey with block lettering FRANCOEUR on the back. You can check the sports illustrated that had photos of his first home game in atlanta....all with arched lettering. It is the August 29, 2005 issue. here is the cover:

Re: Looking for Braves

Last time I post on this issue. MVP and any other person who says these jerseys are not game worn that were sold by the Braves organization is insinuating that all the Braves game used jerseys that were sold in their last 2 game used jersey sales were not game worn. You have to realize that the Braves sold more than 50 jerseys at each sale. Again, I will stress this issue one more time. MVP unless you are the one manufacturing Braves jerseys and attend every Braves game and take photos of the players in each of their jerseys during every game, you can never make the statement that the jerseys are not game worn because you do not know. Also, the Braves organization to me is much more reputable than a guy who posts on this forum.

Rudy:

Can you do some cut and paste with some photos so radtke can see the correct arched lettering on a 2005 Braves Francoeur or Jones jersey next to the incorrect non arched nameplates on radtke sports.

Re: Looking for Braves

Unfortunatley the McCann photo has an ARCHED nameplate and yours are not. Ask anyone on the forum...Here is the photo you are referring to:


Do a search on uniwatchblog.com...paul lukas talks about the lettering.

Re: Looking for Braves

The Braves stopped using the Arched nameplates in 2005. They began using a standard block font in 2006. Prior to 2006 they only used block lettering for call-ups and players that were traded. Chipper , Andrew and Francoeur never used block lettering in 2005...they all should have arched lettering. You should return them to the braves because those jerseys were not worn by the players in a game. The photos on getty show that they are arched.

Henry,

With all due respect, I think you can look at the image of McCann's jersey #55868469 an 05 White Braves Jersey and see the font and nameplate are IDENTICAL as the White Francoeur jersey we sell on radtkesports.com

Re: Looking for Braves

They could not be from 2006 because they dont have the patch on the sleeve. They should have tagging on the front under the majestic tag as well with the year. He should take them back to the braves and get his money back.

Re: Looking for Braves

Here is the correct arched "FRANCOEUR from 2005" from getty:




Here is the correct andruw Jones font from getty:

Re: Looking for Braves

MVP I disagree with you also you cannot make the claim they were not worn, maybe not in 2005 but the Jersey could have been from 2006 as it does match the exact Jerseys Francouer wore this year.

Re: Looking for Braves

Why is it in the Game Used Realm everyone is an expert? Why is it that when you have team authentication, a player signed jersey with a photo, and the getty images match, you still run into people stating it's not game used. I realize that the people will always doubt and you should do your homework, but some people post on here as experts of jerseys and have no idea what they are talking about. This is not directed at you Skip.

Radtke I am not a raves Jersey expert nor am I saying your item isnt real. Heres what I am saying the pictures your showing for evidence to prove your point really dont becuz there not matches in anyway to the item your selling - your same you have jersey likeness matches and you dont.

You have team authentication thats great, You have a player signed Jersey thats great, You have matching Getty images - you dont, running into people saying its not game used - i havent seen anyone here say its not game used / just thats its not matching the year you claim it to be from.

As far as your Team Authentication guess what it was made by humans who can error something even as little as a typo on a year. Aplayer signed Jersey with a photo - as we all know Players will sometimes sign anything that doesnt mean its the real or from the year he states. As far as he knows it could be his rookie Jersey but im sure he doesnt keep track of the fonts from what years they come from.

Again I am not saying I am an expert I am just repeating back to you the facts you have given. Which everything is not adding up.
