1977 Steve Carlton Philadelphia Phillies Game-Used & Autographed Powder Blue Road Jersey (Full JSA • Photo-Matched • NL Cy Young Award & MLB Wins Leader)

Steve Carlton led the MLB in wins during the 1977 season with 23 and ultimately went on to win the NL Cy Young Award and finish fifth in MVP voting. On the bottom left tail is the Wilson manufacturer’s tag size “46” with washing instructions. Below is a strip tag that reads “46 77 2” embroidered which represents the jersey size, the year, and the set number. In the rear collar is another strip tag that reads player name “Carlton” in script style writing embroidered. On the left chest of the zippered jersey is the official Phillies “P” team logo. On the right chest is player number “32”. Across the back on a blue nameplate reads player name “CARLTON” and below is player number “32”. All numbering and lettering is done in red on white tackle twill. Carlton signed the front of the jersey in red marker and in our opinion rates a 8. This jersey is properly tagged, was presented to us as game-used and in our opinion shows outstanding use. Accompanied with a LOA from JSA and a letter from PM&G grading the jersey a 10.

Please note that the photo-matching and grading authentication work on this jersey was performed by a new hobby service for game-used material PM&G. More information can be found at Photo-Match.com
