A seven-time All-Star with 379 career home runs, Orlando Cepeda was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1999. This rare blue mesh collar-style jersey was worn by Cepeda during the 1980 season. In the neck of the jersey is the "Capital Ace" manufacturer's tag with the size "42" and next to it is a tag that reads "Set 1 1980." Cepeda has signed the jersey in the neck with a silver marker and the autograph rates a 7. The team name "Chicago" has been sewn onto the front and the player name "Cepeda" and player number "14" appear on the back. All the letters and numbers are made of white tackle twill. It shows game-use and appears to have no alterations of any kind.
