The above item is a year-tagged Pete Rose 1983 Phillies road salesman's sample that was pulled off eBay after the seller was contacted about the true nature of the item by a noted Phillies game used expert. The jersey was originally offered, according to the Phillies guru, as a game used 1983 Rose jersey. It's now been reintroduced to eBay, now described as a "spring training" jersey and, unlike the first posting, now has names written inside the placket area of the tail (both names, one of which is a crossed out "ROSE"), look fresh. Not a gamer...beware.
