I'm wondering about the year this was produced and its value. I've searched the internet for quite a few hours but have not found a single thing and would be interested to hear the opinions of this forums members.

Note: This garment has been stored folded and was put on a hanger only to photograph. There are no rips, abrasions, odors, or stains on the jersey.

I captured this to the best of my limited ability, please let me know if any more information or documentation is needed.

I can't say anything about the year or anything of that nature. However, value wise I would price it around $20-40. That's just an estimate comparing similar style of jerseys from famous marquees. Wool jerseys or replica jerseys of famous cyclists are usually the ones that pull in the biggest bucks.

With that said though it really is a nice jersey. I'd wear it if I had a Colnago :)

There's one just like yours on ebay right now. The auction isn't over, right now it is at $16. Looking at completed auctions, the nice jerseys are going for around $30 to $40 (there are a lot of knockoffs that go for less).
