Mcgriff 2001 Chicago Cubs GU Jerseys

[Phil316]

I am confused. Dave signed off on both home 2001 jersey's but both are sized different?

The one in Huggins looks good to me.

Dave should definitely chime in here.

The first thing I noticed, which was mentioned, was the the "C" is low on the jersey, but high in the photo. That tells you something right there.


And for what it's worth, which might be very little, I have a used BP jersey of his, when he was with Tampa Bay, and it's a size 46.

I took a look at photos on Getty, the Cubs placed the "C" high and low during the 2001 season, which is interesting. Why change?

This discussion motivated me to finally open the Fred box. Dave inspected the jersey 12/30/13 and states that "the jersey exhibits evidence of light game use and appears to be all original."

The jersey does look very fresh to me, but I am no expert on determining wear where not obvious. The jersey does have as good a Crime Dog autograph as you'll ever get.

A review of the photo showing McGriff wearing the size 46 jersey reveals that it is too short for him.

First off, does anyone know who won the Huggins jersey?

The one on Goldin had me scratching my head, I do believe it's good just maybe for a game or two to experiment. My first thoughts with seeing the set tag having a missing number was it was his Cubs debut jersey. Cubs debut jerseys I've seen with no set tags, set tags with numbers that don't match at all, and some that are the normal strip tag. I looked and this jersey does not match the debut jersey. I would say the collectors comments about being to short is good possibility. I collect different teams and a sz 50 for one team isn't the same sz 50 for another. Dave will chime in with his thoughts but those are mine.

I won the Huggins jersey. I was able to photo match it to his first home game with the Cubs.

It does not have a "set year" tag.

I compared the length to an away Dodgers size 46 and its the same length, both made by Majestic.

My size 50 jersey is set 1. The jersey is amazingly heavy; must have gotten real hot for Cubbies' day game. Majestic hadn't gone to Cool Breeze yet.

Hopefully the issue gets resolved for you soon.
