Greg Maddux Game-Worn Atlanta Braves Starter Jacket (Shadow Box)
A game-worn Atlanta Braves Starter "Diamond Collection" dugout jacket — navy body, red sleeves, Braves script on the sleeve — displayed in a framed shadow box alongside a signed bat, a signed ball, a gold Rawlings glove, and a small photo of the 1995 World Series celebration pile. The jacket is identical in style to the one Maddux wears in the famous John Iacono / Sports Illustrated photo of the celebration after Game 6 on October 28, 1995, when Tom Glavine and Mark Wohlers finished a 1–0 clincher over Cleveland at Atlanta–Fulton County Stadium. It is not photo-matched as that exact jacket. The bat and ball shown with it are displayed alongside; signers are not claimed here.

Greg Maddux — Game-Worn & Display
Non-card pieces tied to Maddux's Atlanta years: game-worn gear and framed displays collected the same way as the cardboard — early, scarce, and story-first.

Greg Maddux, “The Professor,” was my childhood favorite player, which is why he has a place in this collection when almost no other modern player does. He won 355 games with command and guile rather than velocity, took four straight Cy Young Awards from 1992 to 1995 and a record 18 Gold Gloves, and was elected to the Hall of Fame in 2014. I collect him the same way I collect the vintage: earliest and scarcest issues first, plus a little Atlanta game-worn gear that ties to the same story. The nickname fits a Shoeless Professor.
