Number also appears on back below "Sandberg" nameplate. "Wilson" manufacturer's tag on front tail with the size "44." Below is an "81 2" embroidered strip tag denoting year and set number. Chain stitched strip tag in collar reads "Halicki" indicating that the jersey was likely issued to journeyman pitcher Ed Halicki for Spring Training before being tailored for use by Sandberg.

Includes LOAs from Hunt Auctions and SCD Authentic (matching SCD hologram in collar), auction LOA from JSA, and photos of Sandberg signing the jersey: EX-EX/MTEstimated Price Range: ($2,000-$4,000)
