Not real. Doesn't have the detail of the originals, nor the "stiffness"--seems to be made from a much lighter yarn. And not a bit of aging either.

I don't care about the shade. It doesn't have the detail. It's not as "substantial." It's a modern copy.
Anyone can get a vintage Spalding label from, say, an old glove. Last edited by David Atkatz; 09-11-2013 at 03:42 PM.

Look at the tapering in the body on the original.

Would want to see in person, but the sweaters I have handled, and I just had an incredible one from 1928, have appeared more stiff, tight, and with more weight. maybe it has this in person. but by photo I agree it looks a little loose and light. they may have made retail ones too back then. Curious as to the years of the tags, whether they properly correspond to the years the style was in use, I do not know the year tags off-hand.

Well, it would indeed help to see/feel it in person. Here it is in a recently terminated ebay auction...
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-1930...#ht_277wt_1178 Ebay auction was ended early, due to an error in the listing. I wonder if the "would be" Seller is the same woman as reached out to Leon? Perhaps she was tipped off as to the value (if authentic). Last edited by perezfan; 09-11-2013 at 04:17 PM.

All of Mitchell and Ness Jerseys and Sweaters were made with less buttons than the originals.
Everything pictured here has 8 buttons which was the standard for the period. I don't remember a Red Sox Sweater coming for M&N in this style. I would direct her to REA as they would give her a nice advance on the future auction winnings Last edited by murphusa; 09-12-2013 at 09:57 AM.

This definitely isn't a M&N or Ebbets Field Flannel sweater. All of those repros were made by the same person, in two different styles (they also made one without the shawl collar). Neither close to the Red Sox one in this thread.
Even if this matched a M&N style, it wouldn't have been much of swindle. They originally retailed for $700.

The sweater was sold privately for a low five figures. I couldn't be happier for the lady. She really does seem nice....had a lot of facts, and made the decision she felt best with. Thanks to all who voiced their opinions. BTW, I told her all along I would help as much or as little as she wanted. I think the board helped quite a bit. thanks again all...
