Hope it's OK for a newbie to ask for help, but I'm very curious about this jersey I just picked up, which appears to be 1966 Chicago Cubs #18 (Glenn Beckert). It is heavily worn, a bit shrunk, rather soiled and has lots of loose stitching. Definitely not newly made. Here are pics - comments below ...
On the one hand it matches this '66 jersey

On the other hand it does not match this '66 jersey, also a Beckert, both in tagging and a size

Speaking of size, at 6'1"-190 I wonder if Beckert would wear a Size 40.
Could this be a salesman's sample perhaps? Any information or insight from the group would be much appreciated.
