There have been a few rare exceptions to this. There are 1993 Colorado Rockies home and road gamers with retail tagging that were acquired, with team LOAs, in a bulk purchase from the team by Ball Park Heroes. Also, in the early/mid 1990s, there was a set of Tigers home gamers made for a Special Olympics fundraiser involving former Detroit area show promoter Jim Hawkins that also had retail tagging, but had handwritten inscriptions on the Russell tags.
