AMI Edgar Renteria jersey

Not a Cardinals expert, but I believe it's supposed to have a flag tag with a 4-digit year? But mainly what makes me caution this piece is the size. It's a size 44, which seems a little small for Renteria. I know for a fact that he currently wears a size 48. I know for a fact that he wore that size for 2006 and 2007, but I don't have any facts to what he wore before that. There is a Renteria jersey on eBay from 2001 that is a size 46. I've never seen a size 44 though for Renteria.

Size aside, this jersey can't be from 2002 as the Cardinals wore Rawlings shirts for the last time that year. In 2003, they switched to Majestic. For what it's worth, I have a 2003 home Renteria in my personal collection with a team letter...it is a size 48 and hammered with use.

I'm surprised it doesnt come with the verbal endorsement of a known Cards expert.

I currently own three Renteria Cardinals jerseys, all made by Rawlings, all sourced from the team. All are size 46. It's possible that Majestic's sizes run differently than Rawlings' sizes, but I think it would be very unusual to go from 46 to 44 to 48 in the span of a season or two.

That's exactly what I was thinking
