This was on display at the National in one of the Auction Houses premium pieces. Either they were showing it for an upcoming auction or something like that.

TnTtoys was with me maybe he can chime in and say which auction house it was, I forgot.

Looks like a legit Rose game ensemble (IMHO), however when you read this and add the fact that Pete's word isn't exactly gospel, there is a real chance that this uni was nowhere near hit 4000.

I was willing to pay upto 15,000! The reserve was 45,000. I agree,anything from Halper now has to be scrutinized.Talk about his leggacy gone to the shitter!

I didn't think they had the MLB tag in the caps in 1984?

I think it looks right but would want another closeup photo of the tag. The separation of tags respective to each other looks right. Tag would look like this.

Unsure of cap size for Rose.

After reading the article I don't think you can trust anything Halper had. I think that he was a guy who did not really care if things were real. He just wanted to awe people with them like the Jackson jersey and nobody ever bothered to look into stuff until now many years later because people viewed him as the icon of the hobby. An SI article once said that he had a jersey worn by every MLB HOFer at the time except Eppa Rixey. At any price when has anyone seen a jersey of many of those players particularly the pre War ones available? Most of them got reused by others and eventually were thrown away. The jersey here might be A real Rose jersey just not THE 4000 hit Rose jersey. The Pete letter is not exactely a selling point as we all know he has truth issues and has done alot to make a buck over the years. If Barry had said I will pay you x amount to sign this letter saying this is your 4,000 hit jersey I can't see Pete objecting and being like Barry I just can't because it would be dishonest.If the letter said this jersey is my first born child for the right price he would sign it.
