Re: "1981 Mookie Wilson jersey" on ebay - buyer beware

What's interesting is that the jersey being sold as a game used jersey is not autographed, and generally Scoreboard jerseys were all autographed. The other jersey is being sold as just an autographed jersey with a $39.99 opening bid.

The tagging inside each jersey does appear identical and the stitching on front appears identical or at least very similar. I did not compare stitching on the back.

For reasons I am not privy to, the Jefferies shirts, unlike other Score Board retail tagged jerseys, were NOT signed.

Interesting. So the one at auction, not being sold as game used was signed later if this is fact.

So the next question is, did Scoreboard actually own and sell these jerseys or were they made for someone else, similar to Scoreboard? I guess it is possible Scoreboard bought them but never had them signed and sold them privately or unsigned.

It should also be remembered, the jerseys were 100% authentic, pro-cut style jerseys that at the time I'm pretty sure there was zero intent that they would be sold as game used years down the road.
