All,
A very obvious one to Mets collectors is a 1984 Mookie Wilson game worn home uniform for sale at Grey Flannel, lot #82. The uniform is much like one would expect from a 1984 Mets jersey and pants. Manufactured by Rawlings, it has all the correct tagging, the right team logo, racing stripes, numbering, nameplate, lettering... but it is devoid of pinstripes!!! Not sure what this jersey could be...possibly a prototype uniform? Nevertheless, it is not game worn, as this style was never worn on field by the New York Mets. All Mets home white jerseys from 1962 to 1996 had pinstripes. Only in 1997 did the Mets begin experimenting with solid white; black debuted a year later in 1998.
I have put in a call to Grey Flannel to explain why it is wrong, and to ask that at very minimum the description to be altered. I have not heard back from them thus far.

PS- While I'm on the topic, Grey Flannel has some REAL NICE game used stuff in their latest auction! I wish I wasn't so broke!!!!!
