Mid 1980s New York Mets Attributed Player-Worn Satin Jackets — Autographed Dwight Gooden & Darryl Strawberry

Dwight Gooden’s Player-Worn Jackets: A Tribute to Baseball Excellence

Iconic Memorabilia from a Legendary Career

In the realm of baseball memorabilia, few items capture the essence of a player’s career like game-worn apparel. We are thrilled to present two remarkable jackets that encapsulate the legacy of Dwight Gooden, a pitcher whose prowess on the mound left an indelible mark on Major League Baseball.

Detailed Craftsmanship and Historical Significance

These jackets are a testament to the meticulous craftsmanship and attention to detail that defined the era. The first jacket features a “STARTER” tag with materials and washing instructions on the inside of the button path. Below the rear collar, a “STARTER” size “L” manufacturer’s tag proudly displays the player number “18” inscribed in black pen. The left sleeve is adorned with an embroidered Starter logo, while the left chest showcases the team’s iconic “NY” logo in vibrant orange on blue stitching.

The second jacket mirrors this construction, albeit with subtle differences. The “STARTER” tag on the inside button path is absent, and the player number “16” is inscribed on the manufacturer’s tag. Below this tag, Dwight Gooden’s signature graces the fabric in black pen, accompanied by the inscription, “1985 Cy Young Season,” which in our opinion, rates a 7 overall. These jackets are properly tagged, were presented to us as player-worn, and in our opinion, show appropriate wear. Accompanied by a Letter of Authenticity (LOA) from JSA, these jackets are a rare find for any collector.
