I get mixed vibes on this one.

The Rawlings tag is correct for 1988, the absence of a flag tag isn't an automatic disqualifier (Rawlings had inconsistent tagging even among individual teams in 1987-88), the extra length tag looks proper, and the size is right for a Canseco of that era. The 33 written on the Rawlings tag, though, throws me for a loop, as uniform numbers being written on manufacturer's tags is not normal for A's gamers nor Canseco gamers. I'm not sure if I would do a LOO on this if asked.

You should try emailing Steve Vucinich the A's equipment manager. He might remember if the A's equipment manager at the time was writing uniform #'s on Canseco's jerseys in particular back in '88.

Some EM's are helpful so it might be worth a shot.

You could also try contacting Juan Iglesias who was Jose's agent. I bought several pieces from him years back.

Here is some info regarding Jose 1988 jerseys


Sorry I havent posted earlier but I was on vacation. This first home run ball is legit !! I have seen it in person and the ball is exactly the one Jose had in his sports room. Now, with respect to the 88 WS jersey......In 1988 Jose got 2 home and 2 road at the beginning of the year. As the year went on they got either stolen or given away little by little until Vucinich (eqpt mgr) ordered another set of one each. After that, all of Jose's jerseys came without set/year tags until the post season. I saw that Dan has one 1988 and I have one road 1988 World Series jersey. I know that there is another set out there that might surface and maybe this is one of them. I need to know that tagging information to make sure. I have emailed the seller but has not responded. I hope i have been of assistance.

Hi guys

Came across a similar example with a hand written 33 and no set tag.

I feel the SCP Canseco is good.

Why are there two threads about this Canseco jersey?

I've attached scans from my Frank Robinson (3" extra length) and Eddie Murray jerseys - both are from 1988. I vaguely remember something about how many lines of washing instructions appear on the legit jerseys?
