It looks good to me. I have a 1988 Canseco world series jersey in my collection. too bad they don't have pics of the tagging. I'm not a big fan of it being framed, and the 20% hammer fee. thanks Dan

it's extremely difficult if not impossible to analyze a jersey that's framed as you can't see the tagging or the back. the truth about this jersey can only be realized once you take it out of the frame.

i've seen dan's 1988 canseco home WS jersey. gentlemen, i have to believe that canseco only used 1 home jersey during the 1988 WS.

given that dan has one, i'd be nervous about bidding on this one. i do like the inscription that this one has. either way it's a crapshoot. if you win it, then i'd say that either you or dan have the home jersey canseco wore in the 1988 world series. the interesting question is which one will it be.

perhaps juan iglesias can share his insight into this matter.

I saw this jersey too and I wanted to bid on it. The 20% buyers premium hurts. I asked about the tagging lst week and I didn't get a response. I was thinking that he only had one home 88 World Series jersey. Unless the first one got dirty and they didn't have time to wash it for the next game.

I also took note of the fact that Canseco signed it 88 game jersey and not 88 world series game jersey. The 88 world series is listed at the bottom and could just be a list of accomplishments and not neccisarily meaning that this is the actual world Series gamer. It's pretty easy to slap a World Series patch on a jersey. I'm not saying it is real and I'm not saying it isn't. Ijust have my suspicions.

There seems to be a lot of Canseco fans here. We should compare notes on our collections.

Holler at me fellas

That's the real deal. I've seen a picture of it in a 1986 issue of Sports Illustrated.

Very cool.

the jersey does look good, but I can't say for sure if its a world series jersey. too much of a gamble to take, plus the 20% fee. the problem with framing is, they sometimes use glue to keep the jersey in place. I know a few friends that took the jersey out of the frame, and saw that the glue had stained the jersey. it is possible that Jose wore 2 home jerseys, you never know. maybe we should ask Jose. the person that is selling the ball is a fellow named Jim. he takes care of all of Jose's game used stuff. he has sold a few stuff on ebay, and on his site. I've bought 4 game used jerseys, plus a few other stuff from Jose and Jim. the ball is legit. thanks Dan

Sorry for the double post. It was probably the June 9th issue with Larry Bird on the cover. I'm not 100% sure but I think that's the one.

I am the seller of the Canseco 1989 World Series 3rd Game Bat. I too would love to see a photo match of the exact at bat that he hit it in. The bat is authenticated by PSA/DNA as the bat he used to hit the 3-run homerun with in game 3 of the 1989 World Series and the Auto is faded a bit but in person it is very clear. I have looked at a couple of World Series cards and it does appear to be the same bat as far as marks on it, but if someone could come up with a closeup of it I would appreciate it. Then I would either sell it or cry over a fake bat. But I do believe it is the real thing. Taube must have done his research on it to authenticate it. When I sent the 400th HR bat to him it graded a game used 10 and was authenticated but after he grilled me with questions about it for 15 minutes. He almost wouldn't authenticate it because he was curious why it wasn't signed. If anyone can help, please let me know. Hey Dan, are you the one on the Fan page of Jose's website with me and my daughter?

O.K.,

So how can we get some clear pics from game three. The only one I've seen is from his first at bat where he got thrown at.
