Thierry Henry Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 I can't find them cheap anywhere.I don't want them cheap, but cheaper than the $250+ on the NFLshop.com.I've taken too many risks before and paid for them by getting fakes.When can I find a decent selection of cheaper NFL authentic jerseys?

Michigan Dave Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 I got an authentic Brady jersey for $45. What are you looking for? Anything specific? I can take a look and see if I can help. I have friends since I work in the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29a Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 Since we're on the topic (and not to hijack it), I was looking for a Jim Kelly EQT jersey but it's 125$US at ESPNShop.If anybody knows a promotional code for them, or a cheap place to find them, it'd be much appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fleaster Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 If you don't mind older players, try klutchsports on ebay. Good service and he doesn't deal in fakes. He might have some you're interested in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where from? Are you sure it's authentic? Yup. I'm sure. I've worked around most of the teams in the L, and have friends at NFL Equipment (RBK). Some of the authentics with minor stitching flaws will get dumped off and sold on eBay, and most of the folks here know what to look for. I just let my contacts know if I'm looking for something, and they give me first dibs. This was the first year I actually took advantage, because I really wanted an authentic Brady to wear to the Super Bowl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thierry Henry Posted January 18, 2006 Author Share Posted January 18, 2006 So what exactly do they mean by minor stitching flaws?Are they noticeable to the common eye?How can I perhaps get a jersey from your contacts? Where can I find them? Are they on eBay? GO ARSENAL!GO RED SOX! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where can I find them? Are they on eBay? Nah. The reps dump the jerseys off to wholesalers usually. I'll try and take a photo when I get a chance. Nothing noticeable. I spent 25 minutes looking before I figured out where the stitching was off. I really don't know the specifics on quantities/availability on anything. It was told to me last spring, and I just inquired about a month and a half ago if I could get a Brady. I'll send out a few emails and see what's up.

metsfan Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 Klutchsports on eBay is a good deal. I have bought 16 jerseys from him, all under $45. Except for a Kevin Jones Lions jersey that I purchased ALL have been authentics. The Lions jersey was clearly a fake, the numbers and letters were made of the flat tackle twill, not the shiny tackle twill with the lines that the authentic Lions, Raiders and Titans use. The Lions stiched name on the bottom of the collar was about 2 inches high, and 3 inches wide. (In a real Lions jersey it is about 3/4 of an inch high and about 2 inches wide.) I have bought about 25 jereseys from NFL shop and except for the Lions jerseys all of his jerseys have matched up with the quality of the NFL Shop jerseys.Another seller that will deliver real jerseys is X3MSports on eBay. His shipping is a little slow but you will get a real jersey from him also. I have bought several blanks and named jerseys from him and I have alwasy been confident that they are real. SofaSurfer is the best, his jerseys are priced a little bit higher than most on eBay but when you buy a jersey from him you know that you are getting a real jersey. I would rather spend $125 on a real jersey from him than $50 on a fake. You have to be careful on eBay though because most of the stuff on there is fake, some are really good fakes but there are always signs: Plastic letters instead of tackle twill, The NFL logo is stitched on and you can pry the ends up, The material is really thin, so thin that you can see the stitching from the numbers on the back through the front of the jersey when it is hanging from a hanger, The NFL locker tag on the bottom of the jersey is too high up, The font of the jersey is not the font used in authentic jerseys, The jersey is made in China Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lost_limey Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 The NLF logo is stitched on and you can pry the ends up I would think the fact that it had an 'NLF' logo would be enought to tell most people they had a fake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wman Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 Hey, I just happened on this thread, but I'd love an Philadelphia Eagles authentic myself, and I am serious for the right price. Feel free to PM me if it's possible, otherwise I'll stick my head back in the sand... Bring back the Whale! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michigan Dave Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 I got an email from my most friendly contact today, and he said he got rid of pretty much all of his already. He said I can have first dibs next time he can get some. I'll make a post with what comes available when he emails me. I don't know when this might be.

BaltimoreFan Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 While we are on the subject, is there any place on Ebay (or on the web) that sells authentic college jerseys for cheap. I was hoping to buy a Brady Quinn, but didn't want to spend a fortune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeD237 Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 If there is a way to sticky this thread, it should be done - I would think that people would want to find out about this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
