Possible Trouble With NFL Auctions

[Ozric]

Am I missing something with this jersey... I just received my Ted Ginn jersey today from NFL Auctions and the Dolphins patch on both sleeves are sewn on backwards... The Dolphins are supposed to be facing the front of the jersey and not the back so they align with the helmets. The cert states the jersey was used in the 12/02/2007 game with the Jets, but I cannot photo match it to any of the games this year after looking through all of Ginn's Getty images. The jersey shows really nice use and is still unwashed, but the reversed Dolphins patch is really throwing me a curveball... Any opinions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Tim

If you go here
http://www.miamidolphins.com/newsite/news/fromthegame.asp
then select photos, it will give you a drop down to select the game. There are two pics of Ginn running a kick-off back but only show the left side of the jersey, but may help some

Ozric...

do your Ginn have a grass stain that matches this picture?http://cache2.gettyimages.com/xt/78209935.jpg?v=1&g=editorial7&s=1 (http://www.gettyimages.com/Search/Search.aspx?query=z.i.H4sIAAAAAAAEAO29B2AcSZYlJi9t ynt_SvVK1-B0oQiAYBMk2JBAEOzBiM3mkuwdaUcjKasqgcplVmVdZhZAzO2d vPfee--999577733ujudTif33_8_XGZkAWz2zkrayZ4hgKrIHz9-fB8_In7dfLn91etf49f4NX6PX_dskV3kvyb9mtD_f4M2n6UXxX L5a_7f9PwaG59f0_xM6qpqX2Z1tmjMZ78W_r-782P049d79_q6OX1n3vg19W-0wIMmv_aDnT3v93sMITvXFr_Gr6m_45VfOzufmk7sH_j_r42fO 9zvonVvut9_HWpc2i_sX3jv16U_6oUFG_7566P5Lv769fjziYX R-ZtfOw-h2D8Zyo6Fct6B4v7m1-oQiv2ToexZKHUHivubKJObl35N_w8m0y7-JQrkK_s-_2Ua_Sb4hGfk18pdF97vv1beeB_b33_tZrWyn-MPA_C3si9eTt2L7vdfp6o9DrF_8VeT3P8Kf_3a8o2wy8OdHe_3 Xe93HsCvPbtaGlC_pvnj18H_m_XEDSL469fOM4el_wf9vvK_sH _8uk0ALfzz13737LmbC--P35b-_-sXy2m5nuXcMKs9XL0_vvnn_wElxVQdAAQAAA..#)

Thanks for the help guys... I really appreciate it. Not even close on the grass stains of the pic Lund as I did see that image on Getty.

Thanks again,

Tim

I'm finally figuring out how to post pics, so please bear with me... Here's the original shot of the inverted sleeve patch... Any Dolphin's collectors seen this before...

Thanks again,

Tim

these are from the 12/2 game, the patch doesn't seem to match up.

[MichaelofSF]

BUT....
from 11/11 against the Bills, grass stain on shoulder seems to match up.

[Ozric]

Mike... Incredible... The patch is inverted as well. I think you may have solved this. What database did you get this image from? I have to look a bit closer, but it would appear that the NFL auction site just got the game date wrong. I searched Getty, Google, Yahoo, and the Dolphins site without any luck.

Thanks a ton as I owe you one bigtime.

Grass Stain on sleeve/shoulder looks like other grass stain on your jersey not in earlier picturehttp://static.nfl.com/static/content/public/image/getty/2007/09000d5d80416c49_gallery_600.jpg

your welcome, no problem. Used www.iconsportsmedia.com (http://www.iconsportsmedia.com) and www.nfl.com (http://www.nfl.com)

[MichaelofSF]

I mean "you're" welcome

[Ozric]

I just matched up the front staining on the jersey as well with those pics. That is perfect. Thanks again. The NFL just got the date wrong...
