Hey folks,

While looking for items from the career of journeyman catcher Hawk Taylor, I was pointed to this offering currently on ebay:

along with two other auctions including the pants, belt and stirrups, as well as the hat:

Upon further review, I noticed that the jersey was lacking the collar tagging which should be found in early Wilson Royals jerseys. While doing some research, it became clear that the offered jersey on ebay is the same lot sold in the 2008 Robert Edwards Auction noted as a Jack McKeon Royals Spring Training ensemble (Lot #1390, authenticated by MEARS). The seller and I had been corresponding about this offering until I pointed out that it appeared to be the same jersey and uniform. It has been over 24 hours since my last attempt. Here's the link to the grouping as it was offered in the 2008 REA sale:

As always, do your homework.

Regards,

Brian
