I bid $180 for flipping purposes. Somebody got a good deal. Is this a forgery? Is this Rico's? Is this majors or minors?
Thoughts?

Re: Did anyone win this possible Rico?
The Red Sox did wear jerseys like this on the MLB level from I believe 1969-mid 1972. I can't see the year tag clearly enough in the photo to tell what year it indicates, so, until that information was made clear, I would be hesitant to give it a cheer or a boo.

Re: Did anyone win this possible Rico?
Then it's a decent chance...the blue bordered McAuliffe tags weren't around until about 1974, and the market for jerseys to be replicated on a contemporary basis was almost nil...those problems are 99.8% products of the double knit era. Plus, McAuliffe used double digit year tags until 1972, when the four-digit year tags first showed up. I'm not sure how far back the 2-digit box tags go, but they were the norm in the 1960s and early '70s.

Re: Did anyone win this possible Rico?
BTPH and all others following this,
Those individuals who identified the McAuliffe non blue bordered tags as being used during this era are correct. Furthermore, Dave M. is correct in that the blue bordered tags first appeared in 1974 (on a limited/ partial basis) and that the switch to full year tags ( 4 digit) started in 1972. The year tags from 1967-71 had various colored backgrounds with 2 digit years 1967- green w/ white #'s, 1968- red w/ white #'s 1969-navy blue w/red #'s, 1970- navy blue w/ white #'s, 1971- white w/red #'s. 1964-66 had white w/ red #'s
The jersey has the size tag as 42 which was correct for Petrocelli '69-'77
As Dave said, there is a decent chance that this jersey is legit.Comment
