Looking for Braves

Re: Looking for Braves

Rich - I must be blind, too, because they don't even look close. Compare #71271983 (from 2006 - non arched) to #55779633 (2005 - arched, taken during the same game as your image #53468558). There is clearly an arched nameplate on the back of the 2005 jersey.

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.

Re: Looking for Braves

can you please show me the difference of the Fonts of these 2 jerseys worn in 2005. One is McCann image #55868469 with the Francoeur jersey on Radtkesports.com There is no Font difference and it is from the same year. What else do you need?

Images #55868930 is from the same 2005 game. Image #57561742 is from 2006. You really can't see a difference? At any rate, let me restate that I'm not arguing whether your jerseys are good or not. I will stand firm on the fact that both images you referenced show jerseys with nameplates that do not match the ones on your website.

For further reference, next time you're at BP Sports, take a look at the framed Smoltz jersey behind his counter. Arched nameplate. Then compare it to those red Sunday jerseys that McCann and Chipper signed last week, as well as ones that haven't yet been signed by Francouer, if they're from this year. Non-arching nameplates.

Off topic for a moment here. Rich, have you picked up anything from Vick yet? Monday's game should be fun to watch. Would love to see him air it out a little more than last week.

Re: Looking for Braves

The McCann Image is from the NLDS Game in 05' which is the same year as the Francoeur jersey which is also an 05' You and I must see different things when it comes to looking at these nameplates because they look identical to me.

As far as the Vick 06 stuff we have it in hand here is what we have:

Vick's Carolina and Bucs Jersey Unlaundered
Vick's Pants from The Bucs and Carolina Game Unlaundered
Vick's Shoes from Both Games '06 Style (really neat)

I can't wait until Monday Night.

Re: Looking for Braves

Thanks. Look forward to meeting you sometime. Maybe I'll catch you over at BP's.

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.

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.

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.

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




Here is the correct andruw Jones font from getty:

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.

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

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

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

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.
