Today, most of us would never dream of wearing an older game-used jersey -- and probably not a newer one either, if we were concerned with photo matching and/or preserving the item's original state. Well back in the 1970s and 80s, it was a different hobby. I'm not saying that people were wearing their Willie Mays or Sandy Koufax game-used jerseys back then, but tons of jerseys from just about every other player were. I have no problem finding dozens of pictures of hobbyists from back them wearing these shirts, and will randomly post three for now.

Noted hobbyist Lou Lampson is pictured wearing his game-used Biff Pocoroba Braves jersey, as well as a guy wearing an older Angels jersey and another fellow wearing a VERY nice Philadelphia A's flannel.

I would challenge MEARS or any other authenticator to tell the difference between a Braves jersey with wear from Biff Pocoroba sitting in the dugout versus Lou Lampson sitting at a card show.

Does anyone know how things turned out for Lou's hostage?

No, from one of those videos from the National, Lou told the story of trading a case of Seagram's gin for a Wilt Globetrotters durene. Anybody got the link?

The photo of Lou that you posted is unphotoshopable.

I guess you're right. I was thinking of a bottle of Seagram's in his hand, but we can use our imaginations. :D

So what's a game "used" Lampson #4 sell for? Does it come with his LOA?

Lou the Fraud says...."Actually, it turns out that Hank Aaron wore a single digit 4 rather than a dual 4 when he hit his historic home run. The fact photographic proof exists to disprove this is irrelevant as I am Lou Lampson, the Jesus of game worn jerseys.

I wore it as well. Why? because my sweat enhances the grade I give. Surprised? Have you seen my ratings? Makes sense now huh...."

Ladies and gentlemen, it all makes sense now.

The Angels flannel wearer is Irv Lerner, once a major card guru, now better known as a dealer of championship/all-star rings. He was at the Chicago National, although age has slowed him down a bit.

Dave, yes, Irv Lerner the "Ring Man'. A hobby hall of famer to be sure. These pictures are classics. At least Lou knows a game used Harlem Globbies jersey when he sees it.
