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?

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,

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,

Re: Possible Trouble With NFL Auctions

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

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

Re: Possible Trouble With NFL Auctions

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 picture

Re: Possible Trouble With NFL Auctions

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...
