Current offering on Ebay, "1980's PHILLIES GAME WRON WARM UP JERSEY CHRISTENSON".

The description reads, "This is a 1980's Philadelphia Phillies maroon game worn jersey of Larry Christianson (pre-game, spring training, fantasy camp?). It has his #37 on the back with stitched numbers and stitched "Phillies" on the front. It has a Goodman size 46 tag in the tail. Christianson was a quality pitcher for the Phillies from 1973 to 1983."

When this listing appeared earlier today, I contacted the seller to let him know that this is not a game worn Phillies warmup, because:
1. Phillies first used their maroon pre-games in 1979, and only wore
WILSON brand without exception through 1986.
2. Phillies never wore Goodmans jerseys for their gamers or pre-games.
3. Incorrect lettering and numbering.

I've seen quite a few of these Goodmans brand Phillies pre-games, and they originated at the Phillies Fantasy Camp in Florida and were worn by past Phillies greats.

The seller revised the listing, however, it still leads on to believe that it may be a game worn jersey, as opposed to strictly the Fantasy Camp version.
