So is the first Griffey in this post a ScoreBoard?

The Scoreboard Griffeys were size 40, although I've seen numerous other examples of non-Scoreboard Griffey rookie issued jerseys that were size 40 as well.

There are also a TON of non-Scoreboard Griffeys in size 46 floating around. Some even have the "automatic dryer" line like a real gamer.

The ones that say, "Griffey Jr." on the back are just comical, since he never wore "Jr." on his nameplate while he was with the Mariners.

Sorry as I don't know much about jerseys... but in layman's terms.. what does that mean for this jersey? Scoreboard Griffeys a good thing? Would this even be worth the $1,500 they asking for it?

do NOT buy that jersey unless its for decoration.
it would not have fit Ken Griffey jr, even in 1989. size 40 is incorrect

"score board" jerseys refers to set tagged Rawlings jerseys that were hand signed by the athlete and marketed as 'Autographed, NOT game used" jerseys 23-25 years ago (1990-92) by "Score Board". This differs from other jerseys that people mocked up themselves or altered to look like game used or game issued jerseys.

No, it's probably worth $100-$150. I still think the set tag was added, due to aging, which would make this a retail/collector jersey. Assuming the autograph is authentic, I think $100-$150 seems fair.
