Alex Rodriguez-game Used-worn Jersey-pants-belt
Does anyone see any problems with this Arod Game Used Pants/Jersey? I also find it odd that a seller would say Game-Used-Worn. If it's game used, then of course it was worn. Is this maybe a way for a seller to cover themselves in case the game used becomes questionable and they can at least come back and say the also mentioned worn?
Thanks, Tony

Probably so the item will show up if a search is for game worn or game used. More exposure for the listing.

Howard Wolf knows more about Mariners jerseys than I will ever know. So, he's your best bet. In the meantime, I believe this is a perfect example of a game-used ARod uniform. It has the characteristic, and I believe absolutely essential for this era ARod, length tags. Year tag font is correct; watch out for ARod fakes from this era with unusual year tag fonts. For example, thinner, more "digital" looking number fonts. Name-plate lettering is consistent and professional, unlike those on the fake ARod's with the lettering "hack jobs" coming out of the Seattle area in about 1999 and 2000. Most importantly, this uniform came from Jeff Johnson of Coast-to-Coast, who was Griffey, Jr.'s and ARod's exclusive memorabilia agent in the 1990s. But $4,000 is over-priced.

Thanks for taking the time to provide this info. Wow! I'm not much of a game used uniform collector, but all that I have read on this site, shows you have to be educated and know alot about uniforms, tagging, patches, etc. This uniform has been listed numerous times at $4,000, as the seller says he can't sell it for less because this is what he paid for it. However, how many complete uniforms do you see for sale?

Maybe he thought it was something like when a players jersey is hanging in the dugout in rememberance but its not worn?

Tony,
I guess it boils down to.....How much is it worth to you? How many are you really going to see ? Especially when he hits 500 HR. I see jerseys all the time selling for half of that. And they aren't the caliber of ARod. So, I say if you want it. You should buy it. Don't want to kick yourself next year when it is up to $6,000. Just a thought. Roger
