The key to identifying a game issued (authentic) uniform piece is by the tagging. Back in 1955 Major League Baseball did not market merchandise as they do today. If the Jacket reads 1955 World Series it is most likely a "throwback" Jacket made in the style of that era. The jacket might have a "Mirage" tag. An authentic uniform from the 1955 era should have a "Tim McAuliffe inc." tag. If the jacket does have the correct tagging it would have to be attributed to a ballplayer to have significant value. If the jacket cannot be linked to a player it would most likely be valued in the $1,000. price range. What you might have is an "authentic replica" throwback Jacket licensed by Major League Baseball, and commonly sold by companies such as Mitchell & Ness that specialize in nostalgic uniforms. These type of Jackets retail for about $450.-$550. and at this time have no collectible value. Once used the jacket will be valued as a used (second hand) jacket. See Related Links below for a Brooklyn Dodgers professional Model baseball cap circa 1956, with the Tim McAuliffe tag.
