Need help to identify what this Yankee's jersey is!

[KINGSFAN209]

I picked up this Yankees jersey at a local sale for cheap. Not really into baseball jersey's at all but this one caught my eye because it had a name sewn on the collar. Not really sure what this jersey may be but it also has no name on the back just a number and its made by wilson. The owner said it was given to him years ago as a gift but was selling it now. If anyone can help and let me know what kind of jersey this is i would really appreciate it.

That jersey could be worth thousands if real.

Doesn't the neck tag look pretty new and I may be wrong, but I think those Wilson tags were used years later.

you are correct about the wilson tagging come to think of it. I tend to agree with the neck tag as well. A little to think stitching as well compared to other 1980 jerseys.

I believe they began using those Wilson tags in 1986, and the "care on reverse" was removed from the size tag in 1989.

Nope, doesnt look real to me. The NIC is off for starters.
