Ebay 261141622266: not a GU Rose

[sox83cubs84]

The seller has a tagged salesman's sample of Pete Rose (1983 Phillies road) up described as game-used. Contacts to advise him about correcting his error have not accomplished anything. There are several things that guarantee this not to be a GU/GI item:

Size (Rose took a 44 with the Phillies, not a 42)
No Team 100th Anniversary patch on the left sleeve
Wilson tag is in tail on genuine MLB 1983 Phillies gamers.
No name on back...Phillies used NOBs in that era.
Tag in tail should be a year/set strip tag, not a year-only box tag.

In short, unless you want to buy it low-cost for Rose to autograph, AVOID!

The seller has just emailed Howard indicating that he will change the listing in the afternoon today.

Whats the word on the Robin Roberts flannel currently on ebay? Any experts have an opinion on this one.

Roughly 26 hours to go, a high bid of $460, and still no revision to the description. Somebody's gonna get burned big-time!
