Gary Sheffield’s 1974 Atlanta Braves Jersey: A Collector’s Dream
An Iconic Piece of Baseball History
Step into the world of elite baseball memorabilia with this extraordinary 1974 Atlanta Braves jersey, once worn by the legendary Gary Sheffield. This remarkable artifact is a testament to Sheffield’s illustrious career and the rich history of Major League Baseball. The jersey is adorned with the classic “Braves” script across the chest and the iconic player number “11” on both the front and back, all crafted in blue on white tackle twill with a striking red-stitched border.
Authenticity and Provenance
On the front left tail, the jersey proudly displays a “COOPERSTOWN AUTHENTIC COLLECTION Mitchell & Ness” distributor’s tag. Adjacent to it, a white felt strip tag bears the year “1974,” while another tag below reads “TBC JULY 2002.” Inside, beneath the rear collar, a “Mitchell & Ness” manufacturer’s tag is accompanied by a “SIZE 3XL” materials tag with washing instructions. This jersey is properly tagged, was presented to us as game-used, and in our opinion shows appropriate use. It is accompanied by an ALOA from JSA and a MEARS LOA grading the jersey an A10, ensuring its authenticity and value.
A Signature of Excellence
Adding to the allure of this jersey is the signature of Gary Sheffield himself, elegantly penned in blue ink below the front player number. In our expert opinion, the signature rates a commendable 7 overall, further enhancing the jersey’s desirability among collectors and fans alike.
