Is this a real game used laundry tag?

psj · Sep 26, 2016

I want some opinions on this laundry tag. Does it look like a real game used laundry tag? Considering Turley pitched in the late 50's into the 60's. Is it from a game he maybe coached or managed in? It just looks to new to me to be from when he played. If anyone has any info, clues, or knowledge of it, please let me know

Probably from an old timers day jersey.

at anytime you need to question a GU I always would say fake.

I agree, looks too new. Found this link with the past 80 years of Rawlings laundry tags. A quick glance looks like it's from 2000-newer.

Turley died in 2013 at age 82. That mean he would've had to have been in some sort of old timers game in his 70's. Could've been a manager in such a game I guess.

I owned a copy of this card with part of this patch. It's real and from an old timers game.

Still participating in old timer's games as recently as 2009.

Huge demand for Bob Turley patches? I think not. It's real, just later era material.

I firmly believe it's from an old timers jersey like people have said, you're correct that it's not from his playing days. I would be very surprised if this card has ever been altered though if that was your question

No, I never thought it was altered, but I have seen Panini make mistakes before. Like using the wrong era jersey tag on a Whitey Ford card. I just find it really disingenuous for them to call this a "game used" jersey. Especially when they have cards labeled "player worn." I'm sorry, but an old-timers game is not a real game to me, and shouldn't be labeled as game worn. I'm definitely not bidding on this card now.
