The jersey was later numbered by the Chicago White Sox for use and wear by Harold Baines in spring training of 1979. It is assessed as being all original and compares favorably with period images and period on-hand Rawlings exemplars and fabrics. It is assessed as being free of any alterations or indicators of contrived use or wear." He grades this jersey as Superior which is the highest achievable grade. His notes regarding overall grade of "Superior": "no apparent indications or trace evidence to suggest that another name or number was ever applied to the jersey. As such, it is designated as a SUPERIOR (S) example. This jersey is significant in that it is a pre-rookie jersey of a member of the National Baseball Hall of Fame. Class of 2020."
