WANTED: Mark Mulder Game Used items

[Birdbats]

It's the red stitching, so, a retail jersey, but, exactly like the gamers. Why would they make a retail jersey with this tagging? I have other TBTC jerseys with date tagging and they're all game used. What's the reason for this type?

There are so many throwback games these days that teams don't always do a retail version of their jerseys... but back in 2005, it was common for some teams to do a retail version. In fact, the potential success of a retail jersey was one of the considerations that determined whether they'd do a throwback, and which style they'd use. If I remember correctly, the jerseys for this particular game were paid for by the Rays (with the Cardinals permission and input on design) and the Rays auctioned them for their charity. Retail jerseys also were produced, not because any one team would get rich off them (retail jersey sales are shared among all MLB teams), but because there was fan demand. That demand has waned in recent years. The Cardinals have worn that victory blue jersey as a throwback several times now, so producing one linked to a certain TBTC game isn't really a thing anymore.
