Mantle Jersey on Ebay $20,000+

No clue

I find it a tad odd that in the description it says "ON THE BACK OF THE JERSEY IS ALSO A VINTAGE BOLD # 7 WHICH BACK THEN WAS PLACED OVER A ANOTHER NUMBER.

ummmm, red flag.

Wouldn't ya think that by 1966 Mickey had kinda sorta established himself, and that he was worthy of his own jersey and not get someone elses and they change the number to 7.

The seller: Thegoodz15, out of Florida mind u, makes this claim as well:

"WE HAVE HANDLED MORE MICKEY MANTLE GAME USED ITEMS THEN ANY AUCTION COMPANY OR PERSON PERIOD SINCE 1984"

Yet when I search their approx 1000 feedbacks left for them over the years, there is not 1 Mantle Game Used item......except a baseball card that is one of those game used pieces, that their are about 150 or so on Ebay for Mantle.

So not sure how they are making that claim. Red flag 2.

I am not a jersey guy but that auction has more red flags than a Roaches Corner auction. And I think the "PSA" in the title and description is just lowly keyword Spamming. It doesn't say there is any LOA or COA. Whomever buys this will get exactly what they deserve, imo. It could be real but I would be very uncomfortable buying it with only what I see there.

The seller is a big time dealer/collector. Plus the other number on the back is probably because it was sent down to the minors and reissued to someone else, then at a later time someone must have restored the 7.

Do you think the jersey is legitimate?
