What probably happened was an authenticator was not at the end of the game when they last wore the black alternates so all of those jerseys received a "game issued" designation.
I had a similar situation on an Eaton jersey I bought at the Friday night garage sale at Soxfest. I found an Eaton jersey with heavy wear that had a hologram that said "game issued" when I looked it up on my phone. It was clearly worn. The other funny part of the hologram info said it was issued to EASTON. I bought it anyway, its an Eaton gamer, mlb authenticators are not perfect....
