Terry Bradshaw possible gamer (Jersey 2/5)

[apujols04]

Here are the pics from the Bradshaw 1977 "gamer" in the AMI auction LOT#10. i don't think AMI will mind me posting this pic as i am a supporter of their company and their authenticators (PSA/DNA, Jim Spence, and Lou Lampson -especially for football gamers). As they continue to try and get their payments to consignors out in a consistent timeframe, they will continue to be one of the best places (in my opinion) to get good money for your stuff. what they have done to assist in showing the true value in the Mantle market with their connections to good stuff is unreal! My pics will follow.

Don't use any of AMI's jerseys as a template for authenticity...

The questions/concerns I have about my jersey:

1. The sandknit tag appears to have been affixed on by some way other than sewn on as you can see in the pic I am posting. Is this correct? Or would it have been sewn on 100% of the time?

2. I think the jersey may have a "team repair" The p[ossible repair is what you see above the tags.

3. I have no knowledge of Steelers jerseys. How do the nameplate and sleeves look? I was told in a previous post that this jersey was missing a tag, but the AMI jersey has only 1 tag as well (not including the year tags). However, my year tag matches closely to AMI's bradshaw year tag.

The pics.....

Cons:
1.) With the jersey turned inside out, the nameplate appears to be sewn on crooked...is that true?
2.) If there was a Steeler Exclusive Sand Knit tag there at one point, the glue residue should be there, unless these tags were added after the fact.
3.)Why are so many of the supposedly used 70's Steelers jerseys always missing the Steelers Exclusive tags??? The size seems to always be there, but not the Steelers Exclusive tag....hmmn????
4.) Something that is only attributed to '78 Steelers jerseys that were worn by Bradshaw doesn't exist on this one.....
5.) Wide zig zag stitching...Steelers and most other teams had a tight stitching on their numerals and I heard that directly from Mr. Lou Lampson...

Pros:
1.) Jersey length...
2.) Correct size and Sand Knit size and year tag.

MAY I ASK YOU WHAT DOES NOT EXIST SO I MAY LOOK FOR IT AND POST A PIC, OR IS IT SOMETHING I ALREADY TOOK A PIC OF AND IS NOT THERE. IF ITS NOT A GAMER, I AM OKAY WITH THAT. I WAS JUST HOPING IT WAS A STORE MODEL AND NOT A DOCTORED JERSEY. WHAT IS IT WORTH? SHOULD I TAKE THE $700 OFFER FOR IT?

There is no doubt that this is a nice and rarely seen Terry Bradshaw jersey, however, it has way too may questions associated with it (at least for me), but I'm sure SOMEONE will authenticate it!!!!

No disrespect, but I don't want to divulge that information. Look at any photo of Terry Bradshaw (home or away) from the 1978 NFL season and his jersey has something your's doesn't have. Again, you still have a nice jersey, but in my opinion, it's not game worn....but who am I? If someon offered you $700.00 and your comfortable with it...take it!!!
