Up until now, I've never seen a 1991 Will Clark GU Giants home jersey for sale. Is this one legit...?

Coincidentally, there's another one on Ebay which is similar in every way except this one has an addition of a size tag on the collar and is being described as a Scoreboard jersey...

So now I'm really confused. From my understanding, Scoreboard only produced Clark jerseys in '89 and '90 and both had 4 digit year tags. These '91's have 2 year digit tags which are congruent with Clark GU jerseys. Can anyone shed some light on these jerseys? Thanks!

I can confirm Will Clark signed no 1991 tagged jerseys for score board

Thanks for confirming Ken. I didn't think they were Scoreboard jerseys since I've never seen '91's before.

So the question remains...are these legit '91 Clark gamers? I'm still skeptical because 2 came on the market at the same time and I've never seen any before that. I'm hoping someone who owns a 1991 GU Giants home jersey of another player can compare their jersey to these.

I don't know about this item, but if you search these forums for the seller sofasurfer you can find some iffy actions by him in the past

Re: Need help for 1991 Will Clark Giants game used jerseys

Before I get anymore emails regarding these jerseys, I thought I'd just put my thoughts here. These jerseys have a few problems starting with the tagging. I have attached scans of the tagging as it appears on a home and road jersey from 1991. Hopefully you will notice that in both cases, the tagging is located inside the left front tail. The size and style of the numbers is different and the year/ number is listed in the reverse order. Next is the nameplate. If the jerseys came directly from Rawlings, there would be "serging" around the edges and woiuldn't have any sort of backing on the back side of the nameplate as the 2 ebay jerseys have. Also, the plate would be attached with a straight stitch not the zig zag stitch on the ebay jerseys. A Rawlings plate would also have a slightly different lettering sylye to the vertical arc. Originally I had thought that both of these jerseys may have been made up by McAdams Sporting Goods- the Giants in season letering place during that period but the letters aren't something they did- close but not quite the same. I've added scans of both a Rawlings plate ( home) and a McAdams plate.(road) If you're looking for a legitmate Clark used/worn/issued jersey you need to look elsewhere.
