Jersey is posted as the jersey Seaver wore in his last attempted comeback against Tidewater in 1987.

Compared to this available picture of that game, the font of the 4 does not appear to be a match, but I cannot exclude an issue of the angle of the action shot.
Thoughts?

This Jersey is not good....I bought it a few years back on ebay and returned to the seller.....the #'s and name on back are made from a newer style material and not something that was used in 1987...

Thanks. That’s what I thought.

Likewise, I'm very skeptical of this one, as well.

There are many issues with this jersey. Most glaring one is the numbers are made of "glacier twill" material that started appearing on Mets jerseys after the 1995 season. The numbers are also placed incorrectly and are of the wrong size. The tagging is wrong too.

I also understand that this jersey was consigned to Paragon auctions and pulled subsequently.

The photos on ebay are poor quality; almost so that you cannot tell that the numbers are wrong material. I wrote to the seller to ask for better photos of the numbers, and no photos were ever sent.

I can't believe that the bidding is up to nearly $2000 -- and with 51 PRIVATE bids.
