Bob Gibson???? ROTFL
Grey Flannel is calling this a Bob Gibson 1981 Coach's jacket.

The Mets started wearing this type jacket in 1984. It is surely a Paul Gibson 1992-3 Mets Starter jacket. Amazing that he also wore 45! This hobby is maddening.

They were very nice about it and took it off the website.

Wow. I feel bad for the consigner thinking he had a Bob Gibson jacket and it turns out to be Paul's. What are the odds of two guys with the same last name wearing the same number in the same decade? Crazy.

Re: Bob Gibson???? ROTFL
I have a similar situation. I collect GU Twins bats from the 1962-65 period mostly, and a few years ago was able to purchase a block letter, H&B George Banks, that he used while playing for Cleveland in '64-'66. Turns out, Banks wore #14 and the number is written on the knob. It is also a model S2, 35".
So, I have a mid-1960s game used bat, S2, 35", vintage #14 on the knob, and "BANKS" on the barrel. Basically, it matches Ernie Bank's shipping records exactly, same uniform number and name. Only difference is that Ernie's bats at that time were signature models.

Here's another embarrassment for them:

A CIRCA 1980's Twins Rod Carew cap. Carew's last year as a Twin was 1978.
Can't they do even basic research on these items?
