1981 Barry Foote Cubs Road Jersey

[perezfan]

Rare style Cubs Jersey is an electrifying blue pinstriped beauty. The Cubs only wore this style from 1978 - 81, making it highly desired by collectors. This one was worn by Catcher extraordinaire, Barry Foote.

Nice game-used condition, and jersey is accompanied by an LOA from Mile High Card Co. Very tough style to acquire, below is a link to an identical Bill Buckner Jersey which ultimately sold for $2K...

Wilson Size 44 Jersey exhibits all appropriate tagging. Please see attached pics for details. Jersey exhibits great game-use but is in no way abused... the perfect amount of wear, and displays beautifully.

Price is $399 (shipped). Thanks for looking!

I don't know much about older Cubs jerseys or Foote, but when did he wear #8? Baseball Reference doesn't show that number as ever being worn by him, on any team?

Did you check any other sites? Or browse for images of Foote during his time with the Cubs? I did one google search and found his 1982 Topps card picturing him wearing a similar jersey with #8 on the front.

This is a realy great style of jersey. If I was a little more flush with cash I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

Yes, I see it in your links. Baseball Reference is usually my reliable one-stop place to go. That's weird. Very nice looking jersey.
