Re: Question about Cal Ripken jersey labeling
Great info for anyone who might be looking to make a similar purchase. Such is the beauty of the Internet; wish I'd had it back in '93 or '94 when I picked up the jersey.
I sure no one would be shocked to hear the jersey came with a COA signed by someone who (at least at the time) was thought to be a reputable authenticator.
A perfect example of why I no longer buy from dealers...or eBay...or auction houses...etc.

Re: Question about Cal Ripken jersey labeling
Not sure how any legitimate authenticator could have put his John Hancock on this one. That said, there are some excellent, honest dealers (e.g., MeiGray), eBay sellers (too many to pick just one), and auction houses (e.g., GUU). Likewise, there are some dishonest non-dealer hobbyists. Best to take each one on an individual basis. Sorry about your Ripken, but it seems like you have a healthy attitude about it.

Re: Question about Cal Ripken jersey labeling
A respected Orioles collector told me in the mid-90's that all sorts of 1989-91 mis-sized, mistagged Ripkens were popping up due to NOB/number/tag changing of common player jerseys. The era in which this jersey was doctored may explain the off-sizing between what Cal Jr. wore and what the tag says...back then the doctorer may not have known.
