Re: 1989 Pete Rose Gamer on ebay
Someone asked for proof Scoreboard had these jerseys - Ken Goldin, posting through someone else, said they did Pete Rose back then, but if that isn't proof enough, did you ever think that maybe Scoreboard wasn't the only company with access to order pro-cut style jerseys in this era? Who knows if they sold elsewhere to any other companies.
if this was a carry over tag issue this would be a 1990 Pete Rose jersey which we all know he was managing anymore.Regards,

Re: 1989 Pete Rose Gamer on ebay
The Scoreboard Rose jerseys were not marketed as heavily as most of their others during that time (Bo Jackson, Will Clark, Nolan Ryan, etc...) I'd love to hear Ken comment on the timing of the Rose deal. I have a suspicion that the whole gambling thing went down pretty soon after the Scoreboard inked their deal with Rose. Regardless, Scoreboard print ads ran the Rose jersey for a very short period of time. It is of course possible that the Rose jerseys were sold through some medium other than print ads.
All we DO know is that these Rose jerseys show up today much less frequently than the Scoreboard Bos, Wills and Nolans. If the Rose jersey in question does indeed turn out to be a Scoreboard, I can see how authenticators could have made a mistake on this one.
Here are two Scoreboard ads for their Rose jersey. The photos Scoreboard used are poor in quality compared to all the other photos in the very same ads.... for whatever reason.
I look forward to hearing what Ken himself has to say about it.Comment

Re: 1989 Pete Rose Gamer on ebay
Fyi, I have an old hard copy printout from eBay showing the front and back of a 1989 Manny Trillo Reds home jersey: number 9, Rawlings size 41, Set 1 1989. He was released by the Reds on May 25, 1989.
The jersey is similar to the Lenny Harris jersey that I posted earlier. The tag is the same style -- which does not match the Rose (eBay) or O'Neill (Reds HOF) jerseys. And to me eye the logo, letter, and number sizes match the Rose jersey jersey on eBay.Comment

Originally posted by tacprcWas, until recently. So, yes, I am especially interested in finding out the truth.
You can keep trying to dig up findings, but I have looked at this and I have consulted others in the industry who cannot believe this discussion has gone on so long because the jersey is a classic Scoreboard model jersey and it is fully understandable why the jersey was mis-identified over the years.Comment

Re: 1989 Pete Rose Gamer on ebay
It doesn't matter what Ken posts, but if it makes you feel better about it that is your choice. The jersey has too many red flags that have been discussed in this discussion and pulling strings is not going to make this jersey game used which it never was.Comment

Re: 1989 Pete Rose Gamer on ebay
This jersey was Lot Number 1085 in the June 2006 Mastro/Legendary auction. It appears to resemble the eBay jersey in terms of the sizes of the letters, numbers, and Reds emblem on the front and back. It came with an LOA from Dave Bushing & Troy Kinunen/MEARS.Comment

Pretty sure it received a A5 from Mears.Regards,

Re: 1989 Pete Rose Gamer on eBay
Joel, You sell alot of pro-cut jerseys. I know you make certain that you indicate the tagging on the jersey as that is what makes it a pro-cut. Scoreboard would have done the same if they were marketing the Rose jerseys as a signed pro-cut. Scoreboard also sold autographed authentics and the Rose listing is worded much like those jerseys were described. I just don't see that the Rose Scoreboard add has much evidenciary value...that's all my theory is based on. JPComment
