I don't know how it is possible to see use from small pictures. I can confirm the Cardinals jersey is from the Warm Up, but I'm not sure if the team guaranteed they were used and not just issued.


Can someone help me out with this one?

I know some of the jerseys the Cardinals sell at the Warmup are used and some are issued. They don't differentiate them in any way. And they don't give letters on the jerseys or bats sold in their "store" -- you just buy off the rack and go. Only the auctioned items get LOAs. Maybe the seller can send you some better photos or describe any use he sees. Marrero didn't play much in 2003, so it probably doesn't show much use even if it was used.
