Opinions about My Mo Vaughn tbtc jersey

[dcrules01]

I have owned 2 other jerseys like this an Ordonez and a Weathers. From looking at the photos on Getty the 4 and 2 seem to be a dead on match. I am being told this is a retail jersey but I have never seen a retail authentic with this tagging. Am I blind and the jersey is not a photomatch..Opinions

DC -

Just based on past experience with jerseys from Rawlings, Russell, and Majestic (someone correct me if I am wrong) it has always been the rule that when jerseys are SIZED (Not S, M, L, XL, XXL) such as 40, 42, 44, etc. the pattern is that ALL Sizes from 36 (smallest I've ever seen) to 60 (58 is largest I have seen) are available to the clubs meaning they can get:

36, 38, 40, 42, 44, 46, 48, 50, 52, 54, 56, 58, 60

That said, the ONLY sizes available at RETAIL are:

36, 40, 44, 48, 52, 56, 60

That is why I BOLDED the 'in-between' sizes above - they are ONLY available to the clubs, so a SZ 54 as your jersey is tagged should have come from the club and NOT a retail environment.

A 'caveat' to this though is that the BS Knock Off Jerseys from China are tagged with any size you want (including the 'Club' sizes) BUT, they are not correct. I wear a SZ 50 and the few cheapies I have had fit more like a 44 or 46!!!

For your reference the date was July 15th not the 16th

As far as the jersey is concerned Henderson's guide has 2 pictures of the TBTC jerseys. No close-up pics of the tag but from a distance both tags look like they have a red Rawlings script not black.

I was actually thinking of buying it per your email but passed for this reason.

Re: Opinions about My Mo Vaughn tbtc jersey

But those are just 2 examples. Does your have a MLB hologram ?

Re: Opinions about My Mo Vaughn tbtc jersey

No mlb hologram but I owned a Weathers and Ordonez the Ordonez had use neither had a mlb hologram. What are the chances that the front numbers seem to be an exact match as the photos on getty. The tagging in the neck is consistent with the other 2 I owned. I did notice the script though which is odd. Possible manufactures defect? July 15th getty had it as the 16th not that they are that reliable. Even has the score and Vaughn hiting a home run.

From what I can see it does look like a photomatch now that I look closer. The tag thing baffles me. Anything is possible I guess.

If it helps, I have the Weathers jersey. Attached are photos of the tags.

Re: Opinions about My Mo Vaughn tbtc jersey

notice the difference in the neck tag Rawlings color.

I also find it weird that the Weathers shows more wear than the Vaughn when Weathers is a pitcher.

Re: Opinions about My Mo Vaughn tbtc jersey

That is alot of wear for a jersey that was only worn 1 game on the tagging..I am waiting for a response from the seller. Was not worried about the LOA because of the photomatch. There are 2 Weathers jerseys out there. When I owned mine I saw another one on ebay. Now I have also heard from a fellow collector that tagging can be different on Rawlings jerseys. Just trying to get to the bottom of it.I have someone interested in the jersey he contacted me . Gotta love the hobby lol but I am glad for the input.

Re: Opinions about My Mo Vaughn tbtc jersey

Also Weathers did not pitch at all..Help lol is Mo Vaughn doing a signing anywhere lol. How is the tagging so faded on the Weathers is it possible it was worn by someone else. Everything points to mine being a gamer but the neck tagging photomatch jocktag sz 54 which Vaughn wore in 02..So I am stuck on the neck tagging..
