Any thoughts on this Sosa jersey

Embroidery style does not look anything like other 2001 Majestic jerseys I've seen. Likewise, didn't Sosa have elastic around the ends of the cuffs?

Elastic sleeves on Sosa jerseys first appeared in 2001. That aside, the tagging on this jersey is not correct for 2001. I would wager that this one originated from the same source as the strip-tagged Astros and Phillies jerseys we've seen pop up on eBay in the past.

Rob-
Are you indicating that this then originated from Blue Chip Sports?

Howard,

That is not what I am indicating. The tagging style on this Sosa jersey is identical to many strip-tagged Astros and Phillies (and improperly tagged Cubs) jerseys I've been offered over the years. I don't know who made the shirts up.
