i live about 10 minutes from there so i dropped it off after i decided to make things right with everyone and was able to pick up more rocker items so i could use the cash

Is it possible that Frank could have worn it for a game or two then given it to ESM? I don't know how that works, if players have deals with these companies? I know a user said he got a Thomas at the A's fanfest that was a size 52, so could it be possible that this jersey was worn early in the year just to satisfy ESM then given to them? Just a pie in the sky therory. I really don't know? Any thoughts?

48 to 52 is a huge jump. One size in either direction I can see, but two full sizes?

i am 6'5 265 i tryed on the jersey and it fit me it shows alot of use through the arm pits and i think would fit frank tightly like his other jerseys appear to in photos. i do not know naything else other then esm and the cert signed from frank state it was used by him

Jrocker I dont know how your putting on that Jersey but im 6'2 225lbs and a 48 would be like me putting on my old elementary school shirt (The point is there is no way in h^&* it would fit me now) so I dont know how it fits you and your bigger then me.

48 would be super tight on me
50 would just fit
52 would be perfect with room to breathe

With all that being said I am sure Frank Thomas chest is double the size of mine, so you do the math!!!
