2005 "World Series" Paul Konerko jersey on eBay

[salukidave]

I'd steer clear of this one:

While the description attempts to associate the jersey with the possibility that it was the jersey wore when he hit the Grand Slam in the World Series, it is not. You can compare photos and see for yourself. There's no strip tagging either on the jersey, which makes the claim that if it's not the World Series jersey then Konerko wore it at other times seem doubtful. If that's the case then you have to wonder about the dirt stains on it. There's no way that Konerko keeps a dirty jersey in his locker for the World Series.

Here is the mears auction.

Interesting Mears mentions nothing of it being game used.

Wonder if this was an issued blank that someone had the Konerko stiched with the world series patch?

I'd be concerned, as well. I don't doubt that the jersey is team stock, but the Sox, at the 2006 SoxFest, had added patches to both jerseys and styles that were never worn in the 4-game sweep.
