Paul feel free to email me phillipriddell at hotmail and I will point you in the right direction on finding out if it was issued for Jose.

I have the same jersey as this one, signed the same way. I also have An 88 jersey with the set tag in it. It is an issued jersey for sure, proper size and proper extra length. During his historic 40\40 season, I'm sure he started ordering more jerseys when the record came close. The Velcro was only used in 1990 and 1991, that's why you see it on the scoreboard jersey. Jose wore size 46 from 1986-88. He wore size 48 in 1989,1991,1992. He wore size 50 in 1990. He could of only worn it a few games, that's why it doesn't show any wear. I think it was a good buy at $500, as you don't see many Canseco gamers anymore.

I agree 100% with your information. Even as a true jersey issued to Jose for use 500.00 would be fair. Jose ordered roughly 12 jerseys and wore them during the 1988 season and I can confirm none of those 12 had set tags.

I should add that he ordered roughly 12 more than what he was given during the 1988 season. So on top of the ones that had set tags the 12 he ordered did not have set tags. Those 12 where a size 46.

Awesome info - do you remember where yours was sourced from? Wonder if they did a small run of these for a specific event or something.

Thanks for all of the help guys, at this point I'm convinced it's an issued jersey. Now I'd just like to learn the backstory, if possible.

Can you confirm your source and how you know this?

Confirmed by his former agent whom I have purchased many items from.
