    Phillies circa 1970 “Retired” Jersey #1 Flannel Jersey: with LOA
    After hunting, digging and rooting around, I decided to send this jersey away to be inspected by one of the best in the hobby.

    TOTALLY ORIGINAL
    Wilson made Professional model Phillies home flannel baseball jersey attributed to the 1970 season. It is in superb condition. It is absent moth holes, rips/tears.
    The numbers and Phillies “P” are the unique “Swiss-style” utilized by the Phillies. It has been signed by Frank Lucceshi who was the Phillies manager in 1970 and donned the jersey #1. The style of Wilson label in the collar places the jersey manufacturer within the 1970 period.
