Forum Readers-
I have a customer who asked my opinion on a "1990 Tom Seaver Coaches jersey" currently on Ebay:

http://cgi.ebay.com/Tom-Seaver-1990-...QQcmdZViewItem

The sellers description reads "Tom Seaver wore this terrific New York Mets home pinstripe jersey sometime during the 1990 campaign in the capacity of special pitching instructor. The near-mint jersey exhibits minimal wear as would be expected for a coach. "

My concerns are:
1. If it was used at spring training, 1990, it's my understanding that the Mets wore BP jerseys, not game jerseys

2. Was Seaver a "special pitching instructor" for the Mets at spring training? Possibly later in the season, as such, he would have a jersey?

I searched Getty Images for the 1990 season, however, there is no trace of Seaver ever working with the Mets in 1990 in a jersey, or for that matter, at all. Likewise, I can't locate any information on him being an instructor in 1990, either.

Any insight from Andy Fogel or other experienced Mets collector would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
