The item offered is a purported 1992 Wade Boggs game used road Red Sox jersey. Despite a signed Boggs LOA, a "game used" inscription on the jersey, and legitimate tagging, a couple of seeming red flags exist:
1) The Red Sox wore Russell in 1992, not Rawlings.
2) Even if Boggs ordered a uniform specifically from Rawlings, the sleeve logo would not be present on a 1992 game jersey because Rawlings was no longer the contracted MLB uniform supplier (their deal ended after the 1991 season).
3) There is no evidence of the JRY (Jean Yawkey) memoriam lettering on the left sleeve.
Can anyone provided an unquestioned game photo of Boggs wearing a jersey like this? I haven't found any. Unless I was provided one I personally would not write a LOA on this item.
