Team Issued....hhhmmm?????

When in doubt, just call your item "Spring Training" or "Team Issued".

What are the chances that Rawlings made a jersey void of the size tag, and in Big Mac's case, extra lenght tags? I'd guess slim to none.

I've seen plenty of Cardinals MgGwire jerseys, and this is the first time one hass been offered without the usual tagging.

Howard,

Aside from the tagging, this jersey has plenty of other problems. Check out the spacing of the lettering on the back compared to this shot:

You could barely floss between the letters on the eBay jersey, not to mention the relationship between the letters and numbers is not right.

And on the jersey front, check out the reverse of the Rawlings label. Looks like there's a white rectangle in the middle, like the unexposed part of a flag tag... but there's no flag above or below the label. Hmm...
