Re: Mark McGwire Gamer???
Jeff knows a thing or two about Cardinals game used equipment, and thinks it's probably just a giveaway:

Other than the hem, the other curious thing is the autograph notation. Mac didn't sign "70" until after the season... so that likely rules out an in-season swap of jerseys with Tony, when Mac would have added the "STL 25" notation. I can't say with certainty -- who can? -- but I have to believe the odds are greater that this is one of the extras Mark had made to give away vs. an actual '98 gamer.

What about the 98 road in SCP. That one looks the most promising.

Yes, the numbers on the back of this jersey are way too close together. They should be the thickness of a number apart. Look at photos of Mac in '98 -- it's obvious. This is a common mistake made by forgers -- they use the template employed by the team in later years; but in '98, the numbers were much farther apart.

By "this" jersey, I mean the road. Here's a shot of Mac in a home jersey, but the spacing should be the same on the road. Compare that to the jersey at auction.

Re: Mark McGwire Gamer???
Has anyone contacted SCP with their concerns or questions?
I believe they reply to emails and calls in a quick maner and deserve a courtesy call or email before posting
