I was at Citi Field at the Mets HOF this weekend and on display was an 86 World Series game used jersey worn by Gary Carter. The jersey is a home pinstripe Goodman with 25 Anniversary patch.
Problem number one with this jersey is it did not have the Set P tagging which is typically found on 86 post season jerseys.
Problem number two is an even bigger problem. I went thru each home game from the 86 WS and took some stills of Carter. From the stills looks like Carter wore the same jersey in games 1,2, 6, & 7 of the 86 WS however it certainly was NOT the jersey on display at the Mets Museum.
This is the third time a piece of memoribilia signed as being game used or implied game used in the 86 World series but has been proven otherwise. (Mookie Wilson and Lenny Dystra bats being the other two).
