Keith Hernandez photomatch?

I've made mention of this before, but will be glad to do so again: Rawlings flag tags use set numbers that indicate whether the jersey is part of the original team order (SET 1) or ordered later in the season (SET 2). The strip tag set number is the actual set number in terms of how most suppliers (Wilson, Majestic, Russell) identify them.

Mismatched set numbers such as those mentioned about the Mets aren't red flags in and of themselves. I've seen these not only on Mets Rawlings gamers from the late 1980s, but Cubs and A's gamers, as well.

Thanks Dave. Great info!

Thanks for your comments, I appreciate the help.

I would love to find a clear photo of Hernandez from 1987 showing him from the back, the Mets stopped using nameplates in 1987 so lettering to pinstripes should provide the perfect photomatch opportunity.

Here you go....June 9th, 1987

Thank you so much for your help. I think it safe to say its a 100% photomatch.
