The Story: You'll never hear any advertisements that Plato's Closet is the place for authentic vintage sports jerseys. We stopped there with my daughter as she was looking to get rid of some of the clothes she grew out of after only wearing them for a few months (anyone with a teenager can feel my pain here!). While she and my wife were at the counter, I spied some sports jerseys. Most were knockoffs or cheap replicas, but I did find this little treasure. The find came before the Pirates hit their bump in success and in popularity, so the price tag on the jersey was befitting a team with a record-setting losing streak: $13.00. Can't go wrong in getting a relatively rare jersey with the really cool script "Pittsburgh" across the chest for a price this low! One of my mottoes is "I'd rather be lucky than good." On this day, I was!
