Re: 1981 Ripken Rookie jersey on eBay?
No I do not believe it is legit. Gray Flannel has authenticated at least 2 road Ripkens from 1981. Both they authenticated as game used by Cal. One is a Wilson brand and one is a Rawlings brand. Both are different sizes as well. Remember he played in 23 games after being called up in August. Of those 23 games 8 he played on the road.
I also think a red flag is both have nameplate changes but that can be debated by a Orioles collectors.
And
Also here is a classic GUU post from 2006 discussing Ripkens 1981 rookie jersey. -

Ripken in a size 42? Maybe as a sophomore in high school, but not in MLB.
