The AMI Auction description states "This size "44" green St. Patrick's Days jersey was worn by Rose in 1978. One jersey source revealed that the did indeed wear these jerseys at some point. We cannot confirm if the jersey was worn during Spring Training or during the regular season. A Rawlings "The Mark of a Pro" size tag is secured in the inner tail as is a "Set 1 1978" flag tag. A Mears Authentic hologram is affixed below the Rawlings label."
Some questions/comments here
St. Patrick's Day that year was Friday March 17th. Would they have worn a St. Patrick's Day jersey during the regular season which in 1978 began Thursday April 6th?
It states there's a "MEARS Authentic" sticker, but forgot to mention that mears graded this shirt "Not Gradable" (This info is available on mearsonline.com)
Under comments, MEARS writes "MEARS is unable to authenticate this jersey due to the following inconsistencies: 1) knit fabric and texture are not consistent with exemplars; 2) flag tag design is not consistent with exemplars; 3) tag tampering evident from stitch holes near manufacturer tag. Possible value as an autographed piece."
In it's first day at auction it has two bids and is up to $330.
