Calling All Daryl Strawberry Experts

The Rawlings tag has other needle holes in the upper left corner which is a concern and look at the long zigzag stitching under the strip tag. The others are straight stitched.

I agree that the stitching/needle holes on the Rawlings tag is a red flag. However I don’t think the strip tag “long zigzag” stitching is unusual as I’ve seen this on 85 homes. The other 85 examples shown are all roads, and I think the straight stitching is correct for roads from this year.

The numbers on the back of the jersey look very off as well.

I wouldn't touch this jersey, too many red flags

Wow, this is a complete train wreck. There is not much on this jersey that looks accurate. How in God's name could it have passed authentication?

The back numbers are horrific. The only time I have seen back numbers on a Strawberry so malformed and fat have been on Chinese knock-offs.

The front numbers are wrong too. Tell me when you have ever seen such a fat front #1 on a Mets jersey?

The font on back is dead wrong -- it's close to the thicker font that the Mets used for short names (less than 7 letters long). The name Strawberry should be MUCH thinner and much less curved. Google real Strawberry jerseys from 1983-1990 and you will see what I mean.

The strip tag is definitely not factory done.

The Rawlings tag has been sewn on more than once.

Wow...
