Plain-language statement of what this site is, what it isn't, and how the intellectual property here is treated.
This is a non-commercial personal project
The Old Gold Archive is a personal passion project. It is not a business. It generates no revenue and has no intention of ever generating revenue.
To be as explicit as possible:
- Nothing on this site is for sale. No jerseys, no merchandise, no memberships, no digital goods.
- No advertising. This site does not run display ads, sponsored content, native ads, or any other form of paid placement — and it never will.
- No affiliate links. No links on this site earn commissions or referral fees of any kind.
- No donations, subscriptions, or paywalls. There is no tip jar, no Patreon, no Ko-fi, no premium tier. Access is free and always will be.
- No sponsorships or partnerships. This site is not sponsored by any company, team, league, or organization.
- No data monetization. This site does not sell, rent, or share visitor data. There is no email list, no analytics being sold, no user profiling for third parties.
If any of this ever changes, this disclaimer will change first. Until then, treat any offer to buy something, subscribe to something, or click through for a commission on this site as fraudulent — none of it exists.
Why this site exists
The Old Gold Archive is a labor of love, built by a collector for collectors. Its purpose is:
- Educational.Documenting Mitchell & Ness baseball jerseys as historical artifacts.
- Research reference. A place to look up production eras, tag variations, patch history, and jersey provenance without wading through auction listings or scattered forum posts.
- Community preservation.Recording knowledge that currently lives in collector-group memory before it's lost.
- Personal enjoyment. Because building it is fun.
