Hi,
I was just wondering what other people's opinions where on this piece. It is a supposedly game used jacket of Barry Bonds. Do you think it is authentic? Here is the link.

Anthony - For a $100 opening bid it may be worth it to wear to the stadium. As far as this ever being touched by Barry? Doubtful.
Barry once had a Bonds Authenticated memorabilia company run by Steve Hoskins and during 2000 2001 2002 each of Barry's gamer jerseys, jackets, and pullovers should have been embroidered with a Bonds Authenticated tag (see pic below). Additionally I would expect the piece to be auto'd and accompanied by the Bonds hologram. On top of that I would want to see "game use".
They embroidered these items before they went into use so if a jersey got out there with the Bonds Authenticated tag but wasn't signed the Bonds collector would know it was a gamer but not necessarily game used since it didn't have the hologram and signature.
Here is what the tagging looks like:
455
Here's what the COA would look like:
456
And an example of the hologram (sorry about the flash) and the sig:
457
There are some great Bonds collectors on the site that hopefully can shed some light too. For good Bonds items try Coveh at bbondsfan@msn.com
Thanks. Andrew
