Supposed Game Used JR. Richard for sale on Ebay

This original jersey was sold for $116.50 as a JR Richard jersey missing the nameplate and size tag. It could have been a JR Richard jersey but we have no way to tell. Original seller did not try to pass it off as a game used Richard.

The new lister comes from a smoke-free home though so no worries about picking up an odor the last few weeks!

I dont see the prolbem here. So he trying to flip the jersey. Nobody wore number 50 in that era for the Astros but JR and with the exclusive tags its a game jersey not a replica most of the Astros jerseys from that era were stripped and used in the minors and with extensive use its not unlikely that the tags would have fallen off from washing you can clearly see where the tag was. I would look at the measurements and see if the jersey measured out to a size 48 or 50 which is what Richards wore, Looks like a good shirt to me
