Atlanta Braves Chipper Jones 10 1993 Richmond Braves Auto Game Worn Jersey
Item History & Price
Reference Number: Avaluer:18873473 | Player: Chipper Jones |
Team: Atlanta Braves |
This is a jersey that I purchased from the great Hartel Sports Inc. in mid '90s. They had made multiple Braves teams purchases and at the time I was collecting AAA jerseys as I was a Buffalo Bison ticket holder and fell in love with minor league jerseys. I probably purchased 75 jerseys from the b...rothers over the year. One of the first to bring mass jerseys to the hobby and great people to deal with.
Jersey is tagged 1990 and was worn multiple year. Evidence of at least 3 name plates that have been removed. Road gray with "Braves" on front. Wilson Tag (same as major league team at time) and CV flag tag and frayed size tag - looks like 44. I added JONES that I had made by Stahls, it is pressed tackle twill as I was hoping to come across a name plate to reuse. Can easily be sewn or removed.
Jersey is in good condition. The jersey has matching wear under the "A" in Braves to the picture of Chipper. There were no such things as a COA back in the early '90s. The brothers would put in a pencil recon of purchase but nothing else.
I got the autograph on the field before a game in 2005. (See picture of Frenchy - The Natural at the time). My daughter got selected as a Bravo Club member and she took me!! We were allowed on the field and as the players finished their BP we could get autographs. I showed Chipper the jersey and he believed it was the Richmond jersey and had not seen one since he left. The jersey got all turned around as he was looking at it and I had it upside down and got the autograph upside down. I considered flipping the zero but changed my mind and did not want to alter the jersey.
Pictures of an older Hartel catalog. Shows the Braves purchases. Picture of Jeff Francour and helmet we got signed (not included).
So happy to, see Chipper make the Hall of Fame, my wife and I downsized last year and I don't have an area to display any large items. Great piece of Braves history.Shipping is $7 to US via UPS 2nd day air
