A seller has a Wilson road Phillies jersey nameplate up for auction on eBay that is being attributed to having been on a Robin Roberts game jersey.

Never mind that the Phillies didn't add NOBs until roughly 1974, and that Roberts last pitched for the team in 1961. Also that Phillies guru Howard Wolf, who first saw this item, researched and found that it was from a 1982 Dave Roberts jersey.

It's not a big-dollar item, but it is misrepresented, whether knowingly or not. And the seller, having been notified by both Howard and myself, has declined to pull the item and/or amend the description. Just another seller who won't acknowledge the truth.
