Re: Game Used v. Game Issued
Thanks. Basically, everything matches up well. The lettering, the patches, the majestic tag and sizing, the wash tag. It just looks brand new - thus my guess that it is game issued. The seller claims game used but doesn't go beyond that - says it might have been worn for an inning.
The price and the player is what really makes me second guess it. While I have bought a handful of GU jerseys and always try to do my due diligence, I thought I would bounce this one off of the vets, before moving forward.
I guess even if it is just game issued, it isn't a terrible deal.

Re: Game Used v. Game Issued
Shouldn't there be a set number in place of the jersey number on the tag. I thought that Sox tags with the jersey number in place of the set number were promo jerseys and not game used/issued. Edgar, might be able to help out as White Sox gear is his specialty.

Re: Game Used v. Game Issued
Anybody see this Thomas jersey.....Looks brand new to me, yet they are claiming game worn. Did 1998 home jerseys have set # tags? This one doesn't.

Re: Game Used v. Game Issued
It's a Sox team-issued jersey, but the year-only strip tag indicates an extra jersey, as normal 1998 Russell White Sox tag is more detailed. It also could be a size 50 team-issued blank that someone turned into a Thomas. While possible, IMHO, it's not ironclad enouh to warrant a normal Thomas price.

Re: Game Used v. Game Issued
I have come across a situation recently which involves a jersey that shows a decent amount of use but the seller admitted to having "worn the jersey and laundered it." The question it brings to mind is how does one know that the apparent use that he sees on a game used jersey is in fact game use and not "collector use"?
Looking for ...
Any Game Used Mets jerseys from 1986 and 1987
Any Keith Hernandez, Ron Darling, Lee Mazzilli and John Olerud Mets items
