This jersey does not match up to photos of Thomas in the All-Star Game. However, it is our opinion that this was a regular season gamer made as a back-up shirt for Thomas to wear during the All-Star Game with the patches on the right sleeve being removed and reapplied. On the left front tail is the “Russell” manufacturer’s tag with wash instructions and jersey size “46”. Attached is a flag tag with “Thomas 1995 35” written in black marker over “100% Polyester which is stamped in the tag. Sewn directly underneath is a second flag tag with “2” Extra Length”. On the left breast is “Sox”. Player number “35” appears on both the front and back. All these numbers and letters are done in black on grey tackle twill. On the left sleeve is the team “Comiskey Park” embroidered patch. On the right sleeve are two patches. The “1901-1995 95 Years” patch was removed then reapplied by the team lower down the sleeve covering the Russell “R”. This was done to make room for the “1995 All-Star Game” patch embroidered directly above. There are clear remnants of where the original “95 Years” patch was removed. The jersey is properly tagged, was presented to us as game-used during the regular season and in our opinion, shows appropriate use. Other than what is mentioned, there is no further alterations of any kind.
