Old Red Sox jerseys

[both-teams-played-hard]

Name tags: Were these the norm? Multiple jerseys seem to have this missing?

Restoration: These jerseys seem to almost always have either the number or lettering restored. What does this mean? Does this mean team repairs or someone restoring for cosmetic purposes.

For example, the Birdie Tebbetts jersey you linked to has no name tag and the "Red Sox" has been reapplied...

They could be minor league jerseys that have never seen the majors. They could have been recycled to the majors and had the team name changed. I'd feel more comfortable with a Birdie Tebbetts than a Ted Williams. Overall, this game worn jersey stuff is confusing.
