I don't know the market, so this is not an educated comment, but my assumption was that, given how few jerseys were used each year back then, that any jersey photomatched to one game, would have been used in dozens of games.

Suppose you and your father went to see some games at Yankee Stadium back in the day. You dig out the ticket stubs you've saved all these decades, and discover your idol, Mickey Mantle, was wearing that exact jersey when you and dad were at the game.

If you had the dough to be a serious bidder in the first place, wouldn't that match prompt you to boost your bid considerably?

How often would Mantle have changed jerseys throughout a season? Is it safe to assume any Mantle gamer would have been worn for a stretch of games?

I know most of today's athletes have unlimited jerseys at their disposal but I also remember plenty of stories from old timers who had to purchase their own jersey.
