yeah i guess i kinda threw 'authentic' out there for him didnt i?

well, he can get away with 'like the real thing' i suppose..but i guess the 2nd one really isnt like the real thing, cuz the real thing isnt black, but oh well.

i was just mad at the 1st devils one, cuz i was lookin for a sweet green/red devils uni for some reason

I think a lot of the people who get ripped off in these fake jerseys are grandparents or parents thinking oh my son loves the Vikings, I'll get him a Vikings jersey, with out really knowing what they look like. For the most part I wouldn't use E-Bay to get jerseys. I just make friends with some distributors of the real stuff and then I can get some discounts here or there. I have on occasion purposely bought fake jerseys.

I have an Alonzo Mourning jersey from the Heat that claims to be Authentic, and unless you look really hard you can't tell. The word HEAT is just a bit off center, and the tag says specifically made for the 94-95 Miami Heat. Well...Zo didn't join the team until the 95-96 season! The thing is, its all sewn and heat pressed and all that so it's better quality than the screen printed replicas. You can barely find that version of the Heat unis anymore, so I figured screw it I'll pay $50 for this knockoff b/c nobody but me will ever really know. I got this Padres knockoff that looks pretty close too, but I don't care I play softball in it. It's better than wearing a T-shirt. Your whole team can get pro looking uniforms really cheap with the knockoffs. However, if you're a real collecter you have to seriously watch out b/c I wouldn't doubt if 75% of E-Bay jerseys are fakes.

If you find someone selling just one jersey...that's likely to be real b/c some guys just wanna get rid of stuff that doesn't fit them anymore. If it's a factory that's mass producing...I'd watch out. It's sad how these people prey on others' ignorance.

Yea thats another thing we forgot to mention. Not just the jerseys are fake but what about autographs?

And if you're REALLY stupid, shsanders will be glad to relieve you of ONE THOUSAND AMERICAN DOLLARS, plus shipping for this fake POS...anyone out there feel like emailing the purchaser of this jersey, and asking him if he REALLY believes Randy Johnson could keep a jersey tucked in that was only +2 length? Roger Pavlik wore a +4, for crying out loud! Randy's probably a +12! (Can you tell this guy REALLY pisses me off?)

Yeah, Randy Johnson wore a +2!!!!!

That person has to be outside their datgum mind to pay $1000 for that jersey!

I found this while looking for Nebraska stuff. I've been trying to find real throwback Nebraska stuff which I'm not sure exists. Instead they market all this fake stuff, like this Roger Craig.

If the numerals on the front were any smaller, it'd be a baseball jersey.

They have a Turner Gill one like this too, and they had the gall to charge $400 for it.

There's my contribution. Anyone who knows the Whalers' number kit knows how ridiculous this looks.

Also, if "vintage condition" means "ripped sleeve and crappy knock-off numbers" then this is a real sweetie.

Too bad a lot of people who really don't know what to look for get screwed by this junk.
