Have you googled Athletic photos of players during spring training when it was colder etc?

Look at all tags as a start

Thanks guys. I was weary from the start based on all the factors previously mentioned. I researched some and saw Wilson mainly made A's jackets, but I wasn't sure if this could be a random year since I have seen random manufacturers on vintage jackets. I was at a flea market and didn't want to let it get away, so I pulled the trigger a little quicker than I normally would have with the little information I could find. I didn't pay too much, so it's not so bad. I'll throw it on eBay as a high quality vintage throwback and see what happens. I know vintage jackets can still get some good money, so maybe I can still come out ahead. If not, oh well. Can't win them all. Thanks again guys.

Yep... still a very good looking jacket, which someone will most likely purchase to wear (as opposed to display). Comparable Mitchell & Ness Commemorative Jackets tend to go for big money... so you can likely recoup a good chunk of your purchase price on this one.

Sorry the news wasn't better, but not a total loss

Nice jacket but definitely not vintage A's.
