It appears that in 1980, #47 was worn by both coach Fred Koenig and pitcher Bob Babcock (most likely Koenig)

I'm sorry but I do not have photos, but to answer your other question, it is very common to have rear nameplates removed for either other players to wear the jersey or to be recycled in the minors.

Rangers jersey's are fairly common in the memorabilia marketplace and while I don't know if this particular style is more desirable than others, my guess would be somewhere in the $100 or so range.

How did you acquire it?

i come across them from time time at local estate sales and such...

i have had others quote much higher...

Hopefully others can chime in, but I think you're setting yourself up for disappointment...........

Good Luck!

The info likely came from this book, which is absolutely the best few dollars you would ever spend.
