The Big Train Jersey In Heritage Auctions

[JollyElm]

I haven't read all of the promotional material they're using to sell the piece, but do they address the fact that the 'W' insignia on the sleeve is distinctly different from the one in the photo they are matching it to?

Was it claimed to have been added/replaced later or something???

Certainly does look thinner in the vintage photo, doesn't it? Hmmm...

Yeah, I'm with you Darren. I find the whole thing very confusing. The W looks wider/thicker on the Jersey they sold when compared to "photo-matched" images, and the stripes in the different pictures they show seems to have different widths as well.

And yet, they are claiming the size of the W relative to the stripes is another reason to believe it was Walter's jersey, even though the W looks thinner in the picture they show.

Imagine spending $2 million on some kind of a relic and knowledgeable people with no skin in the game are like "yeah. . .I don't know . . .I'm not sure that is what they said it was. . . ."

Thankfully I will never be in that position!
