I prefer jerseys going back about 5 years down. I haven't bought one in about 2 seasons and feel the mass production and greed from MLB has negatively affected interest from the hobby.

But, there are a ton of terrific players who didn't have mass produced jerseys! To define this for me, I look at teams where they used 3-5 per style per season, usually on stars. For example, I don't think 9 David Ortiz jerseys per season is mass produced (you won't find a season where he only used 2) . . The 1 jersey per game (or more) that happened with him in 2016 was!

Bats are great too, but even there you see the manufacturedifference examples. I would consider all the Gwynn hit numbered bats this category . . .
