1979 Bernie Carbo Cardinals autographed game used

I'm not a jersey guy at all but this walked into my local card shop today. Will you experts please advise on the legitimacy of this jersey? Any and all info is appreciated. Thank you

Not a Cardinals jersey expert but, if it's repro, someone went to a lot of trouble just to produce a very realistic Carbo jersey. The numbers on the sleeves look correct, and it appears his name is stitched directly onto the back. One of the downsides of framing a jersey like this is that so much is covered up from viewing (and enjoyment), so there are some aspects that it would be nice to inspect to help determine if it's a legit gamer. Such as, there should be a red Rawlings tag (inside on the tail, I believe) with an attached white year and set tag). Is there any visible wear to the logo and numbers and do the areas around them evidence any puckering (from repeated washing)?

The shop owner hasn't taken it out of the frame yet because word has gotten back to Bernie that his gamer has made it to this shop. He has called the shop and expressed interest in getting it back.

Very hard to authenticate without seeing the tagging.
