    Thumbs up Ebay item 182327391448: Shaky at best.

    This Nolan Ryan Astros jersey comes with a Lou Lampson LOA(!), and does not inspire confidence in me. There has been a number change, which doesn't make sense for a player who had been with the team for 3 seasons in 1982, and isn't as common for the Astros to have done in that era as the LOA suggests. Also, the tags show very heavy wear, more than a season's worth. The person who pointed this out to me believes it's a jersey sent down to the minors from which someone (not the current seller) "created" a Ryan. I tend to feel his analysis is likely correct. There are better Ryans out there...wait for one of those.

    This questionable jersey just won't go away...it's on eBay now, although thankfully, nobody has bid on it yet.

    This jersey is up for bids again on eBay, waiting for a new home. Don't be the one who provides it.

    that LOA has multiple spelling and grammar mistakes....huge red flag!
