Lot #466:

1953 Cloyd Boyer St. Louis Cardinals Game-Used Preseason Home Flannel Jersey

In the rear collar is the Rawlings manufacturer’s tag with an attached tag below reading the size “44”. On the front left tail reads “C Boyer 53” embroidered in red script style chain stitching. Across the chest of the zippered jersey reads “Cardinals” embroidered in red on blue writing beneath the team’s “birds on a bat” logo in gold, red and blue embroidery. On the back is the player number “71”. There is evidence of a vintage number change on the back. This jersey is properly tagged, was presented to us as game-used and in our opinion shows excellent use. This was likely made for Cloyed Boyer and worn in Spring Training when he was trying to make the roster after playing for the Cards from 1949-52.
