MLB Mets Jackie Robinson Jersey Auction Question
Please let me know if anyone here picked up a 2008 Mets Jackie Robinson jersey in the recent MLB auction. I just received my jersey and there is a number written on the Majestic tag that does not coordinate with the number of the player I purchased. I know there was a recent thread that suggested there were supposed to be no markings on these other than the MLB hologram based on a response from MLB customer service. I was just wondering if anyone here has one where the number actually does match the player number they purchased or if I should just assume that this is more of an inventory number and not a player number. Seems pointless to have an inventory number when the player number would be easier to identify. The COA does suggest it is from the player that I wanted, but I'm curious as to what the number on the tag represents.
Thanks,
Tim

I cannot address the Mets' but the Nationals Jackie Robinson Day jerseys I purchased did have the number of the player who wore the jersey written on the majestic tag.

Tim,
I contacted MLB regarding the Mets JR jerseys and was told no markings were going to be on the tags to distingush which player the jersey belong to and that the mlb hologram will be the source of that info.
I was a bit surprised that there were no markings but evidently based on your jersey there is and more alarming a no. not matching the player.
I would contact MLB and challenge them on this one. Sounds like there is a mix up.

Mark and David... Many thanks for your input. I will check with MLB and see what they say. I was curious to see if anyone from the forum purchased one to see if there numbers matched or were different like mine.

Tim,
Out of curiosity, which player did you win and which player did you actually receive (based on the number on the tag)?
Thanks

David... No one major, just Sandy Alomar Jr as he is the Mets catching coach.
Thanks,
Tim

Sorry... That's who I bid on, but there is no one listed on their playing/coaching roster with the number written on the tag...

I purchased the Aaron Heilman jersey and it had the correct# written on the tag.

Contact Sally.Tansill@mlb.com and ask her your question. She has been the only one who has helped me with my problems with MLB.com Auctions. The more people complain, the more MLB.com Auctions' lack of customer service will have to change.
