The description says: "SUPER NICE QUALITY RAWLINGS HOME JERSEY FROM 1969 WITH ALL CORRECT TAGGING AND CHAIN STITCHED NAME. JERSEY HAS HAD NO ALTERATIONS OR NUMBER OR LETTER CHANGES. THIS ONE IS ALL ORIGINAL"
Two things don't look right to me. First, the number 5 is much larger than the number 1 on back. Second, what's left of the name in tail seems to end in "os" rather than "ez".
So, I check the Pirates roster for 1969, looking for a player who wore a uniform with the first digit "1" and name ending in "os" and guess what? Pedro Ramos wore #19 for the 1969 Pirates. Looking again at the name in tail, it does in fact look like "Ramos" and not at all like "Martinez."
So I'm thinking it is not all original, that the #5 was restored, and for that matter, restored incorrectly. Should've been restored to #19.
Thoughts?
