Giancarlo Stanton jersey on eBay

[jwal23]

I've been out of collecting for a little while, but still check GUU here and there trying to keep up with the times whenever I can. I've learned a lot from you guys/gals on here and can usually make a decision for myself on whether or not most things are "as advertised". That said, I was scrolling through eBay earlier and noticed a jersey listed as being a Giancarlo Stanton "gamer" and I had a few questions and concerns that I was hoping someone on here could answer for me because I've never collected or researched Marlins items very closely...My first drawback was the price only being listed at $599 OBO seemed a bit low to me for a Stanton gamer. I did not see any authentication stickers anywhere in the pics or see any in the description. And lastly the sizing is a 48 and after a quick search of a few auctions for authenticated Stanton gamers, the ones I saw were size 50 (not that far off, but still).... what do y'all think about it, legit or no? Thanks! By the way I'm typing this from my cell phone so I hope the copied link actually works

Both the strip tag in the collar and the interior tagging look consistent with Majestic tags of the era. I can't say for certain if it's a gamer without seeing it, but those two aspects are in the ballpark.

Also, while I can't say this for certain about this jersey, be aware: one legitimate dealer has bought game issued Marlins jerseys of the big names from the team, including Stanton, for a few years now. While he offers them correctly as game issued, once they leave his hands, some of them have been offered later as game used by other parties. Again, that may not be the case here, but is something to be aware of.

The strip tag should have the players number sewn on first. The jersey is question does not. This leads me to believe it was a blank/extra before it had Stanton sewn on.

Here is how the strip tagging should look for a jersey issued for a specific player...

Jersey COULD have been made up by the team...in 2016 Stanton was ordered jerseys in size 46 with 2" extra body length...I don't think any were ever worn by him in 2016, though...The one I sold was game issued, no use..obtained directly from team.
