Ebay #331184459645: BEWARE!

Jerseys4thwin has what's described as a 1974 Twins gamer of Joe Decker up for bids. The jersey was worn, but not by Decker and not in The Show.

The last post wouldn't allow me to continue after I added the photo, so I'll continue here.

The tag shown in the last post I totally fabricated...nothing like Wilson ever used on ANY MLB team they supplied. The collar tag is proper, but for a minor league team, most likely the defunct Midwest League Kenosha Twins, as I had a friend who worked for the Twins, and she showed me a couple of examples of team jerseys, all tagged in the collar like this one.

If you choose to bid on, consider it as a doctored GU minor league jersey, and not as an all-original MLB gamer. This jersey never saw the locker of a MLB clubhouse.

Thanks Dave!

I was considering purchasing for our "Decker" collection and your insight definitely spared us some disappointment...thank you!

FYI...the purchaser of the jersey in the last auction has relisted it...

Jerseys4thwin is a flipper on eBay.
He/She finds jerseys and re-list them with sensational title... I would bet he bought it like this... Not defending but stating my observations...

Here's jersey #1 that went for $50

Here's jersey #2 that's currently being auctioned off

Notice the loose string on the Wilson tag... It just went from a regular store model jersey to a team issued one...

Jerseys4thewin is notorious for mis representing things on Ebay. He buys jerseys and often gets them for cheap. When he sells it he inflates the item to make it seem more important/valuable than it is and wants $$$ for it. I'd stay away from him at all costs.

The stitching stroke attaching that moved Wilson tag to the new jersey is one of the worst stitch jobs I've ever seen on a manufacturer's tag. Stay away from this item and this seller.
