Birdie Tebbetts’ Detroit Jersey: A Timeless Piece of Baseball History

A Glimpse into the Past

Step back in time with this extraordinary piece of baseball memorabilia, a jersey that once graced the field on the back of the legendary Birdie Tebbetts. This remarkable artifact is not just a garment; it is a testament to the rich history of America’s favorite pastime. The jersey, presented to us as game-used, carries with it the essence of a bygone era, where the spirit of the game was captured in every stitch and seam.

Exquisite Craftsmanship and Detailing

The jersey features the iconic “Detroit” script across the chest, rendered in navy blue felt, a color that resonates with the team’s storied legacy. The player number “1” adorns the back, a symbol of Tebbetts’ pivotal role in the team. The Wilson manufacturer’s tag, accompanied by a size “42” tag and a flag tag with washing instructions, attests to the authenticity and meticulous craftsmanship of this piece. Adjacent to these is a strip tag with the player name “Tebbetts,” embroidered in red chain stitching, adding a personal touch to this historic artifact.

A Signature of Excellence

Adding to the allure of this jersey is Birdie Tebbetts’ signature, elegantly inscribed in black ink on the front. In our expert opinion, the signature rates an impressive 8, a testament to its clarity and preservation. This autograph not only enhances the jersey’s value but also serves as a direct connection to the player himself, allowing collectors to own a piece of Tebbetts’ legacy.

Why This Jersey Stands Out

  • Historical Significance: Worn by Birdie Tebbetts, a key figure in Detroit’s baseball history.
  • Authenticity: Properly tagged and presented to us as game-used, showing excellent use.
  • Provenance: Accompanied by a Photo-Match.com LOA grading the jersey a perfect 10 and an ALOA from JSA.
  • Unique Signature: Tebbetts’ autograph adds a personal and historical touch.

A Collector’s Dream

This jersey is more than just a piece of clothing; it is a cherished relic of baseball history. Its impeccable condition and the accompanying documentation make it a coveted item for any serious collector. Whether you are looking to expand your baseball collection or seeking a unique investment, this jersey offers unparalleled value and significance.

For those interested in acquiring this exceptional piece, it is currently available in our sports memorabilia auctions. Don’t miss the opportunity to own a part of baseball’s rich tapestry and celebrate the legacy of Birdie Tebbetts with this extraordinary jersey.
