I have already written to the seller, and thought I'd post a blurb here as well.

Purported to be a 1973 Willie Mays jersey, this is nothing more than a 1981-1983 style Mets batting practice jersey that was later signed by Willie Mays.

The #24 (if original) would have been worn by a non-rostered spring training invitee, as no Met player or coach wore the # from 1980 through 1989. 1979 was Mays' last year as a coach, and this style BP debuted 2 years later.

If the #24 was not original, the jersey is a team issued blank (and this is highly likely -- in fact I have seen a couple lately) that was later customized. Also, if this is the case, the owner should have done his homework!!
