....I've seen that 5 before...on the $29.99 "authentic" MLB jerseys sold every day on E-bay by the Hong Kong sweatshops.That's why I recognized it as soon as I saw it.I guess someone got a hold of one,added a Tug/Pope patch (also available on the Bay) and some dirt....and voila-instant Burrell gamer.

Joe-

Another telling aspect would be the 0062 tag found inside the left seam. Possibly you or another Forum reader can request a scan of this tag from the folks at Grey Flannel. I've already sent 3 emails on other items in the auction, and have not received a single response. Interesting, however, when I send emails to Mastro, Lelands and Vintage Authentics, a response is usually received within a few hours.

Thanks.

After searching yearbooks, web sites, etc., I can't locate a single photo with the same type of "odd" NOB lettering or same style of 5. Here's a shot of the sleeve 5 from 2004, and it too is completely different than the jersey offered by Grey Flannel:

Nice catch, typical for grey flannel.

Re: Grey Flannel '04 Phillies Pat Burrell Jersey

...and upon looking closer,the "B" and two "R"s in Burrell are not correct either.

...this has to be a custom jersey,because the back and sleeve "5"s are NOT the correct ones for the '04 Phils.The correct numeral font is below:
