I've only found one to compare it against, and it's not exactly the same.. so price aside, I'm more curious if everything looks OK with this? -
Re: Pirates jersey on eBay
I've owned a couple gold jerseys over the years and the swatch on the tail and Wilson tag in the collar look correct to me. My biggest question with respect to this particular jersey was whether it had been restored, as most of these jerseys were recycled into the minors, so you rarely see one with an original nameplate. To that end I asked the seller and he responded that it was all original.

Re: Pirates jersey on eBay
I think you guys may want to note the following for what it's worth.
1 the NOB has been replaced/ added. you can tell by both the stitching and the color of thread that shows on the inside. Also, the material doesn't appear to match color wise.
2- The numbers appear to be standard 4" front and 8" on the back- the Pirates used a taller version ( almost 5" on the front and almost 9" on the back) on those pullovers.
3- The set tag is bogus. See the attached scan of 2 actual '82 tags to see what they should look like look and how the Wilson chain stitch looks compared to what's on the jersey. The tag on the jersey appears to be of the same material as the plate and doesn't really match the jersey body, is stitched different than the original Wilson tags are and the chainstitching itself doesn't match what came out of Wilson.
4- Based on the photos, I think that the "Pirates" letters are off sized.Comment

Re: Pirates jersey on eBay
The strip tag font is nothing like what the Pirates use on gamers of the era. Lon's photos show the proper font for the tail strip tag. Avoid this one.
