Nobodies churning out snide 1983 Brighton tracksuits are they ? So presume it’s the real thing.
Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊
[Albion] Could this be an item for the Albion museum ?

Seller does seem to have a bit of ebay history as seller of iconic european tops, normally in the £80-£100 range. Maybe genuine shirt(s), maybe not. Either way, if a prospective buyer were to offer, say, £80, they might well end up with a good-looking trackie top of unknown provenance

Yeah it’s odd how all the other stuff he is selling is reasonably priced but this is in the thousands (although he knows he won’t get that). He’s also from Brighton so may have a connection to club from those days

I believe this guy has been listing and realising this tracksuit on eBay for a couple of years now. I centtainly first saw it during lockdown when it was pointed out to me.

What's your conclusion Phil?

He is a historical person. That is absolutely true, and you won’t find any classics professor who denies it.Psssst. Jesus and the background story isn’t real
What you believe about him is your opinion.

It's almost ceertainly legit, but it's not collectible in the same was as a shirt is. Be fine in the club museum, but unless it was given to me I wouldn't be interested in it for any more than a oner.

Yeah you’re probably right. I just get a bit misty eyed about the cup final

I was going to put in a bid of £80 to test the water.

Good thinking.
Just tell the seller that he's put the decimal point in the wrong place.
Should I start new thread ?? "Official Old Man" buys "Official Old Tracksuit top"

Most definitely. I'd part with upto £250 of my hard earned for that - fear that's well under the market value though. I used to have a couple of Adidas First trackies procured from David Rose (folks would never stretch to a Tacchini despite my constant bugging...for good reason I suppose) - love 'em. Adidas need to do a re-release

I would, but the 'seller' wants a lot more.

I've got a training top worn by Ross Johnson in the 1999-2000 season .
How much would I have to pay someone to take it off my hands?

‘David Rose’, there’s a name I haven’t heard for a long time

Was almost impossible NOT to get a discount in there: 'My Mum's maiden name has an 'a' in it.... 'Ah, ok, that means you get 15% off'.
Nope. Of course not. I am sure it's the real thing.
The point I was trying to make is whether it was one worn by one of the matchday squad, one of the coaching staff, one that was surplus to requirements etc as this determines how valuable it is. By way of example, a Michael Jordan signed game worn vest is far more desirable and therefore significantly more valuable than one bought from a store that he signed.
But tbh, whetherthe tracksuit was worn by a player or sat in a box in a cupboard surely no-one in possession of all their faculties is going to spunk £8K on it.
