Description: This Lee Smith 1986 Chicago Cubs game used jersey features the Cubs logo on the left front chest as well as "46" on the back in red-on-white tackle twill. The front tail of the jersey features a "86" year tag with "Wilson 46" and "46 86 2 46" player number, year, set and size swatch sewn into the collar. The jersey shows light evidence of game use as these blue alternate jerseys were only worn a handful of times in 1986. The Cubs team logo patch is present on the left sleeve while the "SMITH" nameplate has since been removed. The jersey was initially purchased from the Cubs during a public sale and is accompanied by the original price tag/team authentication.
Accompanied by a Letter of Authenticity from noted game used jersey expert Dave Miedema authenticating its use. Miedema concludes: "After a thorough examination of this Lee Smith game used jersey, it is my opinion that this jersey is authentic as described and can be attributed to being used by Smith during the 1986 season."
