I noted currently on eBay was the jersey that was originally pulled from the Hunt Auction last summer with "C. Ripken" on the back that originated from the Chilli Davis collection.
Appears as if the eBay seller is Chilli's own brother:

As I discussed with the people @ Hunt Auction's last June, other than the day that the Orioles unveiled their new uniform design in December of 1988, the Orioles have never used a first initial on a game used jersey to distinguish Cal, Cal Sr. or Billy.....Just a few wire photos from that season:
