Will Clark 1986 Wilson Road Rookie Jersey?

[TwinLakesPark]

I know there have been some questionable Will Clark rookie jerseys on ebay before, and they were discussed here:

Clark Rookie Jersey

Clark Rookie Jersey #2

I was looking to solicit some opinions on this one that is currently listed on ebay as I am not sure if it is one of the ones discussed previously.

Wes at first glance I thought the away/home 86 Giants jerseys had the uniform number and year swatch. The Clark appears to only have the year swatch under the Wilson tag.

If it is legit, it's an extra jersey prepared for Clark. The year tag is a legit Wilson tag, and he did take a 42 his rookie year. However, without seeing it, I couldn't say whether it was made FOR Will or turned INTO a Will.

Where the tagging looked OK, I was concerned about the name lettering on the nameplate. I have a rookie Clark that I got from Dick Dobbins and in comparing the two, the letters are not the same. In the eBay one, the "K" does not have the slant and the "R's" hole looks too big and the "C" is too long on the upper side. I double checked it against Roger Craig's jersey name on Getty Images.

The numbering and lettering are correct. This jeresey was numbered and lettered by McAddam sports who did a lot of the numbering and lettering for the Giants. Lon wrote a great post about these jerseys in a earlier post. This jersey was sent to Lon for inspection.
