BID PER WHAT YOU SEE IN THE PHOTO, NOT THE AI GENERATED TITLES AND DESCRIPTIONS! Phil Niekro Signed 1981 Atlanta Braves Mitchell & Ness Jersey
This item is a Mitchell & Ness Cooperstown Collection reproduction of an Atlanta Braves 1981 road jersey. The garment is constructed from powder blue fabric in a pullover V-neck style, featuring royal blue and white striped ribbing at the neck and sleeve cuffs. The front of the jersey displays the city name Atlanta in script above the player number 35, both applied in blue and white tackle twill. The reverse features the name NIEKRO in an arch across the shoulders above a large number 35. The jersey is hand-signed in black ink on the reverse side, located above the number 5. The signature reads Phil Niekro and is accompanied by the inscription H.O.F. – 97, referencing his 1997 Baseball Hall of Fame induction. Sewn-in manufacturer markings on the lower front hem include a Cooperstown Authentic Collection patch for Mitchell & Ness Philadelphia, PA, and a smaller white tag embroidered with the year 1981. The autograph is authenticated by Beckett Authentication Services, featuring a tamper-evident hologram sticker with serial number BJ92095 and a QR code affixed to the manufacturer’s patch.
Condition report:
