Re: Orioles experts help - Legit or not?
The first one is odd as it has a neck tag mostly always seen on retail jerseys. Never seen that before on a game worn Jersey from 1994. The outer tag looks off as well. Like it was sewn on after the fact.
I would ask the seller where he got it from.
The others right off hand I do not know.Comment

Thank you Phil. I asked the seller how he came to own the 3 jerseys. His response seemed very straightforward to me. No red flags immediately. I like to think that someone selling non reputable items wouldn't freely admit to having purchased it off Ebay. Liars typically have fantasical tales. Basically, I take him at his word. So the 94 may or may not be "good".
I have a good feeling on the other two jerseys. But I would still love to hear from folks mor1e experienced than myself on the tagging. I'm still learning. ☺
- The 94 two button was purchased off Ebay, years ago.
- The 95 button down was witnessed, by him, being given to a fan directly from Palmeiro. Then purchased from that fan.
- The 2004 TBTC pullover was purchased at the stadium winter sale, that year.sigpic

Those 95 jerseys were manufactured for game use but were never worn in a game (the rumor as to why was pointed to owner Peter Angelos who didn't like them)Comment

Dave and Ironmanfan, thank you both for chiming in. Really appreciate it. A few questions if you don't mind...
Ironmanfan, no black alternates were ever worn in a game anytime in 95? Darn. I really had my hopes up that this particular jersey was good for a gamer. 😢
Dave, would happen to have any insight as to how many of these TBTC jerseys a player might wear in a 2 day/game span?
From what I've been able to find these jerseys were worn Sat. July 24 and Sun. July 25, 2004 vs the Twins. My question basically is: Same jersey both nights or multiple jerseys?sigpic

Re: Orioles experts help - Legit or not?
I agree with Dave that the 2004 tagging and size are correct. I am not an Orioles expert by any means, but have been a serious Palmeiro collector since his playing days.
Again, it could be the angle, but it appears the 2004 TBTC worn by Raffy in the game photo uses a 'vertical arch' style of lettering for the name. The jersey offered for sale does not. That has caused me to pass on a similar jersey in the past. I hope this helps.Comment

While these would have been my first jersey purchases, I'm very grateful to the expertise found here. Thankfully I didn't throw away close to $2000, as I was going to buy all 3 jerseys.
So thank you everyone that helped. ☺
The search continues for a nice Raffy Orioles gamer.sigpic

Also looking forward to hearing back from the Delmarva Shorebirds. I know I'm a month or so late, but hoping they have a few nice 2014 gamers left.sigpic
