Hi! I have just discovered this wonderful forum. I am a jersey collector, and have been collecting jerseys for a number of years now. I always feel good Karma to be surrounded by such fantastic jerseys.
As a note, there has been a really interesting and useful discussion on authenticators on this site. My experiences are generally very positive, and i have been very happy with the people i have met, and with the jerseys i have been sold. But, I am also a fanatic on authentication and use both photos and i have hired a textile expert who has no vested interest in the hobby to authenticate stuff. We have learned a lot, and i can say that at least my mistakes have been small.
I was wondering if i could seek a favor. I am currently looking for scans/link/photos of the 1951 Giants either during the playoffs, or world series. The books i have all repeat many of the same photos. A number of 1951 jerseys have become available and i am trying to discern if these jerseys were just World Series jerseys, or if they were used during the playoffs. There is little evidence of a patch, but that could be explained if the jerseys were new for the playoffs, and the patch was removed for the world series.
Of course, if any of you have any information on home Giants jerseys from 1951, do not hesitate to drop a line!
Thanks!
