Default more digging on the Cubs jersey/photo match?

Thanks all your help, guys - really appreciate it. I've dug around some more and here's what I've found.

Re tagging -- Andrew might very well be right. But this one here would make two 66 Cubs jerseys similarly tagged erroneously: http://jun08.hugginsandscott.com/cgi...?itemid=101112

Maybe Kowano switched to the new tagging system after 66?

This Banks jersey from 69 indeed has the tagging Andrew remembers:
http://sports.mearsonlineauctions.co...entoryid=64692

Speaking of Banks, I note that he wore a size 40 jersey and was almost as big as Glenn Beckert (6'1") so it's plausible that Beckert wore a 40 also.

Finally, Beckert's 67 Dexter Press card seems like it might be a photomatch. The pinstripes seem to align the same at the shoulders, neck and with the buttons.

But maybe I'm just looking through rose-colored glasses. Any additional input is much appreciated.

Jersey may well be authentic, but I don't think it's a photo-match. If you look at how the pinstripes align at the shoulder areas, the two are slightly offset to opposite sides.

On yours, the front stripes meet just slightly to the right of the stripes at the adjoining shoulder seam. On the pictured jersey, they align slightly to the left.

Very close, but not quite a match. Jersey may still be authentic and original... it looks good to me

Maybe it's a late 1960s Tacoma Cubs jersey?

Perez - you are right -- the shoulders don't match -- excellent catch.
Dan - I like your Tacoma theory.

Even if it was a Tacoma Cubs jersey the chances are it started out with the big club a season or two before the minor league affiliate got it.

You are correct. I know when I was with the team as late as 1986 they were still shipping the big league uniforms to the minors to be used on the farm.
