Help with Jose Cano Astros Jersey

[slab0meat]

I bid, not thinking I'd win, and without doing my homework. So, I'm wondering if anyone can shed some light on this jersey....

- Seller claims 1990 jersey, and from what I see, Cano only played in 1989

- Baseball Reference lists his number as 52, this is #39

- There is a tilde on the "O", which I've never seen before

Spring training jersey? Incorrect info from the seller? Name or number change? Not issued/used? I'm really at a loss here... anyone who can shed some light, help would be much appreciated!

Thanks.

The Jose Cano jersey you have is from 1990. During Spring Training that year he was #39. He spent the season playing for the Astros AA & AAA team. The tilde over the "O" is the correct spelling of his name and the use of a tilde is common for the Astros.

Great, I appreciate the info. I just always thought the tildes went over "N's", never saw one on an "O.


Thanks.

Shawn's the best I've ever done business with. His stuff is impeccable, his sources are legit, and I've always been happy with his communication. Rest assured that you're getting the real deal.

I am good. I just really had no idea after seeing the little info I could find... no problem here at all.

Thanks again.

Agreed. Shawn is great to work with!

Just a follow-up... jersey arrived yesterday and looks great (and the little yellowing isn't as bad as I thought)... thanks!
