If you see a Cubs Kingman jersey on Craig's List...
...don't pull the trigger.
The owner is a former Wrigley Field ballhawk from the 1980s who has been telling potential buyers that he got this bogus Kingman jersey from me (he did not). The jersey is a Cubs home knit, and has strip tagging with a font totally unlike what Wilson used on Cubs gamers of the era.
The jersey was autographed by Kingman at a Cubs Convention a number of years ago (autograph is legit) but, unless you can get it for the price of a signed Kingman pro-quality jersey, not game worn, don't bite for this one. And, judging by what he has sold it for on eBay (later refunded...twice), that's not likely to be the case.
