One quick clarification - the Melido Perez jersey was actually worn in 1995 but tagged in 1996. Perez did not return to play with the Yankes in '96. I have made a correction on the price as well.

Shanfran ok wait your confusing me!!!
Your saying you have a Melido Perez Jersey he wore in 1995 but the ersey was made a year after he left the team?

[shafrancollectibles.com]

As quoted to me by Steiner:

The jersey was worn by Melido in 1995, and tagged in 1996 before the Yankees knew he would not return.

That is why I posted a "clarification" - I unfortunately can't offer any further details than that.

I tried to lower the price on the jersey but didn't realize there is no edit function on this forum. The price on it is now $225.

Maybe our new Steiner member here can chime in on this one I never heard of a Jersey year being re-tagged????????

I don't claim to be an expert on jersey tagging so I can't offer any further info. If anybody feels there is a "problem" with such tagging, I would gladly remove the item and no longer offer it for sale. I am a reputable guy looking to offer items at prices as affordable as I can.

The only reason I made the clarification was Melido shows no stats on baseball-reference for the 1996 season. That is what made me believe the tagging of "96" couldn't be right - I am guessing it could have been recycled from '95 in preparation for the '96 season - maybe worn in pre-season?

isnt it possible that the perez jersey in question was worn by charlie hayes in the 1996 season and /or world series? steiner has sold many 1996 jerseys with the world series patches and armbands removed. perhaps the jersey was made for perez, but when he wasnt on the team for whatever reason, the #33 jersey was given to charlie hayes when he joined the team in 1996. i would say that it is also possible that the jersey could have been recycled into 1997, but david wells wore #33 in '97 and i doubt he could have fit in that jersey

[suave1477]

YankSteiner then if that is the case you sold him the Jersey as being Game Used and not issued, which means you also gave him a LOA stating that your comapny agrees it is Game Used.

When you yourself said that it was tagged in anticipation for the player but it never happend!!!

[shafrancollectibles.com]

If I am sure of anything in this world it is that David Wells could not fit into this jersey!!!

I discussed the jersey with Bob at Steiner and I am comfortable with their assessment that it was game worn by Perez in '95. Hey, maybe it was worn by Hayes in '96 and even worn in the World Series - that I'll never know nor be able to determine but it's cool to think of the possibilities.

I'll throw some images up on my site tonight.

Shafran ok now im really confused your saying Bob said that Melido wore this jersey in 95 even though it has 96 tagging, meanwhile the member here of YankSteiner is basically saying it was Game Issued?

With the possibility of another member here saying it could have been worn by Charlie Hayes.

I think it is safe to say it was not worn by Melido becuz the Jersey was made for the 96 season. I can be wrong!!!
