Beautiful Nolan Ryan Houston Astros 1982 home jersey exhibiting moderate overall use. "ASTROS" is sewn on the front and "34" on the back in blue on white tackle twill. The nameplate is affixed to the back with "RYAN" sewn on to the nameplate. The "82 44" year/size swatch tag is sewn into the outside front tail as is the Houston Astros exclusivity tag and Medalist Sand Knit size 44 tag. The #4 on back has been re-applied with the rest of the jersey being all original, unaltered condition. Ryan was presented with this treasure as being his jersey from 1982 and gladly agreed to pen his name on the front in black marker giving it his endorsement, a request he rarely obliges. The Nolan Ryan authentication hologram is affixed to the first "S" in "ASTROS" on the front of the jersey and is also accompanied by a full JSA Letter of Authenticity. Beautiful jersey from the prime of Nolan Ryan's Hall of Fame career.
