Although I've sold a few 2002 Astros red jerseys and specifically a 2002 Bagwell, I was asked by one of my customers to comment on the following jersey being offered by Kevin Savage Cards and authenticated by Grey Flannel:

Based on the 2002 Astros I sold, and after speaking with Chris Boyd who also has obtained a nice assortment of 2002 jerseys directly from the Astros via several sources including charity, several aspects on this jersey have never been seen on the other known 2002 examples including:

1. 6200 code on the washing tag. I've never seen another 2002 red with
this code; all have had the pro-code 0062, as usually found on retail
versions.
2. Embroidered strip tag. Based on the other 2002 jerseys and according
to Boyd, the Astros have never incorprated an embroidered strip tag on
their jerseys of this era.


Any insight from other Astros collectors or those familiar with Astros jerseys is appreciated.
