Hell, I think I need a beer after seeing that!!! Hopefully it’s legit. I’m not knowledgeable about RedSox jerseys but it looks good from first glance…

Thanks Tim. Re-stitched tagging and lack of identifiers make it clear if the seller thought it was a Ted Williams gamer, there would be authentication (Dave Grob) performed and included. I give AMI credit for strongly suggesting it is a "no-name" gamer.

Hunt has a Williams in their upcoming live auction and pre-bidding has it north of $40k already with a week to go. It has the Grob stamp of approval.

Here is what is concerning to me. The title and description changed after it was listed and the bids had it at $10k with more bids than it shows now, then it dropped to $5k and now it's at $2,376 which leads me to believe that bids were retracted. The size of the jersey has shrinkage and doesn't match the size on the tags which is concerning.

This statement: "This style of Boston Red Sox creme-colored flannel was also used for the Minor Leagues as well, during this era." is of concern as well. Does anyone know if they issued the same number for minor league players? And if so would they actually allow a minor leaguer to wear a #9 jersey?

Sure, minor league teams in the Red Sox organization would've had players with all sorts of uniform numbers, including #9. In fact, major league shirts were routinely recycled down to the minors, sometimes with number changes and sometimes without.

There are so many things wrong with that jersey, including the poor condition, that I, personally, would stay very far away from it. If I did land it, I'd have the piping restored and keep it around as a signed Williams display piece only.
