Preston Wilson Rockies jersey.....

Currently on eBay, there is a Preston Wilson "game worn" 2003 Rockies jersey with LOO from Lou Lampson (big surprise). The tagging is all wrong.....opinions?

Correct tagging of a 2003 Rockies jersey (this one being from a Charles Johnson jersey):

With the sheer volume of Rockies jerseys on the market resulting in the inconsistencies in tagging, what is actually wrong with it?

Can you absolutely say all jerseys will have the name, size and number tag?

R.C-
You are correct-there are many types of tagging on the Rockies jerseys from the "Preston Wilson Era", however, I'm not familiar with any that just have the Russell tag and are void of either the year tag (2 digit year i.e., 03) or the standard tag with the last name, year, etc. Likewise, I've not seen this type of tagging on any shirts that also have a Rockies LOA.

Here is a photo of a Wilson with the standard tagging:



Possibly you or another Forum reader can provide a photo or internet offering that has the single type Russell tag, void of the usual single year or player tag, that also has a team LOA?

Anything is possible, however, combined with the fact that the shirt in question also has a Lampson LOA, I see a big red flag waving in the wind!

Thanks Howard.

I was looking for were a few details on why regardless of the Lampson Letter.
