1989 Pete Rose Gamer on ebay

I noticed the 1989 Pete Rose gamer on ebay with three LOA's appears to have the scoreboard tagging as opposed to the true 1989 tagging in that it is missing the 4th laundering instruction "Do not use in Automatic Dryer" and the incorrect numeral font on the size.

This link details a discussion on the tagging:

Does anyone have a 1989 gamer of a common player without the 4th laundering instruction?

Re: 1989 Pete Rose Gamer on ebay

appears as if one of the LOA's comes from our own Dave Miedema...I'm sure Dave can add his insight on this....

Any input or thoughts from our Reds collectors or Dave? I know that Sports Investments is a big reds memorabilia owner/dealer, but I don't think the jersey is good. If presented with the facts, the owner could possibly try and and get a refund from them?

Since the jersey has an LOA from Sport Investments, I'm sure it's 100% genuine. I've never had a problem with any of their items. Give them a call if you want more information about the jersey. I'm sure they would be happy to anyswer any of your questions.

I can't really tell if you are kidding or serious?! I detailed my issues with the jersey above. Based on reasearch, i think it is a scoreboard jersey. I am sseing if someone has tagging of a common player from 1989 that matches this Rose tagging. I am also hoping Dave chimes in on this since his LOA is attached...

Does anyone have more precise information on the Scoreboard jerseys? In what year(s) were they sold? Which players? How many jerseys per player? How were they sold -- via SCD ads only? Thanks.

That's the most pristine flag tag I've ever seen from a "game used" jersey. I own a Browning from 1989 and you are exactly correct on the tagging having a 4th and a 5th line. I'll post pics later tonight. I think that you have something. Anyone can make a mistake on issuing a COA.

Mine has a 4th line that says "Do not use" and the 5th line says "automatic dryer."

The font on my size 44 is different as well.

Here is the tag from my 1989 Browning jersey.

Thanks for posting. Your jersey certainly helps further confirm my tagging theory. Would like to hear from Dave on this.

Here is the tagging on another common from 1989:

Was Pete Rose definitely part of the Scoreboard product line?

As regards the players like Schmidt that were part of the product line, how often do their Scoreboard jerseys show up for auction on eBay or elsewhere?

I have not seen an unusual number of 1989 Rose Reds home jerseys on the market -- meaning that I rarely see one, just as I rarely see Rose jerseys from any other particular year (besides maybe 1985).

I'm 100% serious.

Re: 1989 Pete Rose Gamer on ebay

I agree the tag inconsitency exists, but, like Chuck, I've never seen a quantity of 1989 home Rose jerseys in the marketplace. As for the 1990-91 Rawlings tag being on a 1989 jersey, I believe way back in the dark ages, I posted photos of a couple of Mets commons with the 90-91 tag on 1989 jerseys on the MEARS site. It's rare, to be sure, but, until there's proof that Rose was a Score Board participant, I stand by my call.

Thanks for the info. Dave. If anyone has or can post commons from 1989 with the 1990-1 tagging that would debunk my theory. Anyone else have any 1989 commons?
