Same year, 2 different jersey sizes

[Misha]

So SCP has 2 1998 Rickey Henderson jerseys for sale.

The alt is size 42,

and the home is 44.

Is this okay or a warning sign? Most of his jerseys I see are 42. The alt has an Oakland Athletics COA, and the home 44 has a Man of Steal COA.

What do you think? Bidding is higher on the Alt.

In this case, I wouldn't worry about it. The team LOA is solid, and Man of Steal sold items of Rickey's for many years...they're considered a solid source for Henderson GU items.

The size difference could be attributed to weather conditions (larger size to accommodate undershirts for cold weather), weight gained or lost during the year, or possibly another reason. The situation isn't common, but I've seen it with both stars and average players.
