Very interesting jersey, it's missing the team strip tag and I think I know the reason why. This jersey is authenticated to Eovaldi's final start of the 2012 season (September 30, 2012). That date is a day or so after the Marlins as a team autographed and authenticated all their jerseys from the 2012 season. I can tell by the unique stitching method used on this jersey that it was prepared for Nathan at the stadium and issued to him for his final start. I'm certain there are others such as this that the players wore only during the final few games (4 games) of the 2012 season as their jerseys from earlier in the season had already been signed and authenticated.
