No it is not a game-used jersey but I plan on getting a game-used eventually and putting it in this frame.

Rivera is the only one who can wear 42 because he was wearing it before MLB retired the number. Once he retires, we will not see 42 worn again.

Yeah, all the guys who were wearing 42 at the time they retired it, could wear it until they retired. Rivera is the last 42.

My favorite set has to be 1993 Topps Finest. It was the first ever high end set and has a special place in my heart since it was the most expensive pack of cards I had ever bought when I was a kid. Plus I bought it at my first ever card show.

RE: Favorite set
I have no idea why, but the '87 Topps/O-Pee-Chee is always the first that pops into my head when I hear this question. Must be the wood grain borders. Others that I immediately think of are 1980 Topps/O-Pee-Chee, 79-80 O-Pee-Chee Hockey, and 78-79 O-Pee-Chee Hockey. When I think of it, I'm a baseball collector, but if you go design (remove the picture) the Hockey sets for the most part,to me have the best design elements.
