Main difference is quality. Embroidery on the front in stead of tackle twill crests, stitched numbers and letters instead of glued on ones.
Keep in mind an authentic is much much more money that a replica.
I believe signing on the number itself is better than having it done on the jersey. I've heard of people using hair spray where they want the sig...not really sure what that's about.
If I were to try and do this, I would go with an authentic if I could afford it.
I would use blue sharpie for sure
Since it isn't an organized signing, you gotta remember if you're lucky enough to be able to get him to sign it, good odds he will just sign wherever he wants and not even notice that you're even there

Nah, blue on that red wouldn't look good. He did say the 4 right? I can't tell you what kind of pen to use since I've seen all kinds and most come ok. Plus I don't really do jerseys so I haven't really had to worry about that decision. But if you feel like its too rushed or too crazy and you're buying an authentic, don't let him sign it if you feel he might not sign exactly where you want it. That's way too much money to have it come out messed up. As far as color, I'd go with either black or silver. Good luck.

I had a jersey signed a few years ago and I had it signed on the actual jersey only because I didn't want to have to turn my head to look at the signature (you won't have that problem with #34) Also, I prefer the front of the jersey. If you do decide to have it signed on the jersey you should pull the fabric as taut as possible while it is being signed.

This is a hard question to answer. If was in a sit-down setting I would 100% go with the authentic jersey with a silver decco paint pen. It would be similar to the following Lou Marson jersey I got signed. The picture doesn't do it justice, the silver really "pops". I love it!
No matter what you do, get the number signed.
Any reason you don't want to go with a blue jersey that has white numbering? That way you could go with a black sharpie which is a little safer to use in a non-in-person situation compared to a paint pen.

I would also fold the jersey up in such a way so just the #'s are showing. That way, he can't sign on the fabric.
I do know of people ordering a jersey # and having it signed, then having it sown on the jersey afterwords. That may be an option for you.

After looking at examples on ebay and realizing that he's going to sign rushed, I would go 100% with the red jersey and white numbering. Size XL

People posting about having the jersey folded up are making a great point. I forgot about that little tidbit because like I said...I don't fool with jersey's. But I've had plenty of friends do it...you get you a nice thick piece of cardboard, maybe two, and fold the jersey over it so nothing but the numbers show. Provides a stable surface and plus he knows where you want it signed. Keeps it taut too.
As far as sharpie or paint, everyone I see normally uses a deco pen. Just let that stuff dry! Most of these jerseys I've seen that were replicas come with this weird nylon feeling numbering and lettering. It's slick. So just let it dry. And supposedly, some of the people I've spoken to spray it down with scotch guard afterwards so the auto doesn't go anywhere? Not sure and that's something you want to do. Might want to look into it.

If you're framing it, the bigger the jersey, the bigger the frame depending on how it will be displayed.
I would guess that bigger frames will be more expensive too.

Is this a real authentic cool base jersey? Bryce Harper 34 Washington Nationals White Home Jersey XXL 54 2XL | eBay

I think so. I don't think cool base are available in replicas. They are a cooler breathable jersey usually worn on hot days and BP. If it were me I would spend the money on an authentic to frame. Some disagree wanting to spend less for something they won't wear.
