All three pieces are incredible. I have an El Salvador run Dave DeBusschere (home) and a China run Willis Reed (away). The China run mesh authentics I own are actually great quality (90s throwbacks) but the polyester on the Reed looks way too new for a 70s jersey, whereas the vinyl material on the DeBusschere really has that old-school feel. The earlier runs also have the classic, wider cut around the armholes, whereas the China run has the more generic cut. My Reed is still a beautiful jersey, but it doesn't feel like a vintage piece as much as the DeBusschere (or your Bill Bradley). Hope to see more videos, cheers.
I agree wholeheartedly, thanks for your opinion and the view. I can tell you are thorough in details with Mitchell and Ness jerseys 😉👍. I kinda regret selling the other ones since I had the complete starting 5 1973 championship team but I had to make a sacrifice at the time so I deemed the other 2 rarer and kept them because of the quality. I’ll find the older versions eventually. They’re worth the high price but sometimes hard to come by but I rather pay it than purchase some of the more recent China run M&N products that are at a premium price. I don’t mind the made in China apparel for the teams since I usually get them at a 1/3 of the price. I also have a blank home Knicks jersey exactly the same as the Bradley one but I need to get a custom job done on the New York word mark plus the lettering and numbers. I wanted to present a player from that team that you never see such as Barnett#12 or Lucas#32. I live in The Bronx and the only place that could possibly produce it is Gerry Cosby’s down in Manhattan. They used to do all the official numbers and lettering for the Knicks way back but still do for sports fans.
@@FormerlyNYVulgarian Lucas would be sick. I need to get in touch with Cosby's and see what they can do. I know they produced the jerseys back in the 80s before Champion etc took over. Anyway, good stuff man.
@@zalemdreams I knew you knew your stuff haha 👍. The game worn Gerry Cosby auctioned jerseys from that era to the Ewing rookie era are out of my price range but I hope one day I’ll be able to acquire one. They made the switch from nylon to mesh jerseys in 1975 which they kept producing until Champion took over the league. They still did the lettering even under Champion until the mid 90s. I enjoy different jerseys from different eras to draw comparisons. Some are always eye catching but even the simple ones obtain a timeless look.
Great video. Just to mention, there"s a fake Rolando Blackman with sky blue instead of royal blue outlining the wordmark and numbers. Look out for that. Love the deBusschere jersey!
You have some gems
Thanks. I wish I would’ve done a review on my older ones before I gotten rid of them. I used to have a penchant for collecting M&N gear.

I’ve seen that fake sky blue wordmark one you’re talking about on eBay and priced outrageously high for a fugazi.
