    It was listed with a starting bid of $5000 as

    Here's the description

    When I saw the pics, it reminded me of something Howard Wolf and Rob Steinmetz wrote on the old game used forum about a similar jersey that was listed in a Vintage Authentics auction. See below and thank you Howard and Rob.

    VINTAGE AUTHENTICS GRIFFEY JR. ROOKIE

    November 1 2005 at 1:22 PMHOWARD WOLF (Login hblakewolf)Forum readers-
    I just took a quick look at the Vintage Authentics auction site, and they have some great items. One item, however, that is less than perfect is lot #23. It is being offered as a 1989 home Mariners Griffey Jr. jersey. Note the name plate. It reads GRIFFEY JR. Throughout his career, and even when his father played with him on the M's, Griffey Jr. NEVER wore JR. on his nameplate. His jerseys simply had GRIFFEY on them. It appears this jersey has a LOA from PSA/DNA, only covering the autograph. No letter from MEARS or Lampson is included.

    FYI

    I wrote the seller and did not hear a response. Like I said, in case it's relisted I wanted people to know what this was. Also, it's a reminder that the old game used forum has tons of great info and is a valuable resource.
    Thanks

    another 1990 style tag with a 1989 flag tag, as is often found on scoreboard shirts.

    i'm curious if it would pass some third party authentication.

          Check out his Yaz from 1983:


          They wore Wilson brand in 1983, not McAuliffe. Likewise, when have you ever seen the red braid on front stitched in this odd fashion?

            The seller wrote me back and has taken down the item.
