eBay item 280577730948: What's with this Berkman?

2 Huge red flags....

If the tag on the tail was legit....(which its not)

The '02 Year would be incorrect because the astros didn't wear the columbia memorial patch until 03

The lettering on the front appears to be the stitched embroidered look that wasn't on the road jerseys until 04? possibly 05. The home jersey's got the upgraded logo first and I know it was after 2003.

I don't even want to get into the "dirt" or "tar" on the shoulders, berkman doesn't use much of anything on his bats, and his uniforms almost always stay pretty clean except for red dirt.

No way in the world this is even a close fake.

If someone can please link or post the photo, it would be appreciated.

The next game worn/team issued Majestic Astros jersey I see with a tail strip tag like this Berkman will be the first...and, FWIW, this one isn't the first.
