Speaking of Reds Civil Rights Jerseys...
My son and I went to the 09 game so I've kept an eye out for these since then. That's why I responded so quickly when I got the email from Steiner. Anyway, I noticed that Hairston was on the 09 list from Steiner. I've also seen in the last month or so a Hairston jersey on eBay with a certificate from the Reds (it's back up again now).
Is it likely that there were two sets of these? I'm guessing so. Since my items from Steiner show great game use, I'm assuming the ones they got really were used in the game. Is it possible that the jersey on eBay was game-issued but sold by the Reds as game-used?
I also seem to remember they made a pretty big deal about Hairston playing because his grandfather played in the Negro Leagues, so maybe he really did change jerseys during the game.
The certificate on eBay is dated 6/8/10. Has anyone in the Cincy area seem more of these for sale at the stadium?
Just curious about your thoughts.

Re: Speaking of Reds Civil Rights Jerseys...
When I was at the team store in Late May, they had a Hairston 2009 Civil Rights Jersey along with 1-2 other Civil Rights jerseys. (I want to say Alex Gonzalez and Edwin Encarnacion)
They all appeared to be game issued and showed no use from what I saw.

They had a few for sale at the stadium this year, with no use at all. They actually are still selling the blank leftover ones right now with nothing other than the logo on the front. I've noticed the Reds people sometimes miss the game used/game issued idea on jerseys.

Re: Speaking of Reds Civil Rights Jerseys...
Judging by the stains and SMELL of some of the jerseys from Steiner I have no doubt they got the real deal game used ones. Hairston was a huge story during that game, so I could see him wearing more then one jersey but possibly a few issued ones is what the Reds are dealing with.
Looking for: Joey Votto game used items.

Special issue jerseys sometimes do have 2 sets made but only 1 set worn. The White Sox made two sets of their Rawlings 1990 Turn Back the Clock uniforms...one went back to the team, the other was given to the player.

Re: Speaking of Reds Civil Rights Jerseys...
i noticed that this year the A's made up 2 jerseys from their TBTC day. In their in game auctions over the past month there has been a couple of player jerseys be up from auction twice. they did list the first jersey as being "game used" while the second listed as being a throwback jersey.
