I wouldn't exactly call me an expert, but I might know enough about the tagging of the '85s to help out. Can you please either post a photo of the tag here or email it to me at TNT_Toys@yahoo.com?

Here are photos of my two 1985 road grey gamers of Jesse Orsoco and Ray Knight. The John Gibbons is actually from 1984, Gibby being the last Met to wear no 8 before Kid arrived in 1985. I included the Gibbons just so we all can see the positioning of the no. 8 in relation to the NOB.

Both years included a strip tag under the Rawlings tag and a flag tag set no. Year.

The strip tag typicall has player no. , size, set (Knight's is 22 42 1)

The Orosco is actually a phantom playoff jersey tagged 47 85P.

Not shown is the strip tag of the 84 Gibbons which reads 8 42 1.

Hope this helps
David

In my opinion fonts are thicker and the letters are much too close together on the CARTER name plate.

Here's a photo of the front of one of the 85s.

Sorry it took so long for me to get back to you. I too own a 1985 game worn Mets gray road jersey... and the tagging looks identical to the photo of the Orosco jersey that has just been added. Your Carter has the Rawlings tag in the right place, and the set tag, but the third tag which is shown in the Orosco photo and is identical to mine is missing. Not to say that it's not real and the third tag was removed, but I would have been able to vouch for it better if it were there.

I would definitely say on the Carter the font is wrong I saw that right away before I even saw the black and white photo of Carter that was posted here.
