I saw this auction for a Bobby Abreu game worn 2007 Yankees jersey and was surprised by the amount of game use. The description states that it was worn May-September! This is the second Yankees 2007 jersey I've seen in the past day that has the MLB logo faded so much like that. Are the Yankees cutting back on the amount of jerseys they wear now?

CHeck out this photo I found on Getty.

Note Abreu's mlb tag as compared to Jeter's.

The tag is faded like the one in auction.

Not to sidetrack this thread, but that Mientkiewicz jersey most likely is a home run jersey. From what my Steiner rep had told me when that jersey was offerred, the April to mid May jerseys represented the first 2007 jerseys that Steiner had gotten and were a very limited run per player.
The Minty jersey that you bought, was apparently worn during his one home run at the Stadium in April
Congrats

We are the seller of the above mentioned Abreu jersey and also sold the Mientkiewicz jersey. From our understanding, the Yankees only wore 3 or 4 sets this season. April->May was the first set Steiner offered. The second set, for most players, was worn May through September and then a new jersey was worn, with some players wearing another jersey for the few playoff games. The jerseys were MLB Authenticated on the last day of their use. Of course, some players apparently did wear more jerseys throughout the season than others.

I was surprised by this as well, as I picked up a Farnsworth home gamer that was used from 5-11 to 10-5! Nice use on it too!

Hi Tom,

I'll take some pics and send them over. I erred on the dates it was used, it was used until 10-8, not 10-5, so until the end of their season.
