Need help on a sproles jersey

[ksuchad]

I am new to collecting jerseys. What does authentic game worn mean? The auction on nfl.comstated authentic game worn Jersey. Jersey has a psa dna #1N 45107. On the psa dna site it says player/celebtiry - game worn. Notes sproles. The patch inside neck has 03 48 Q. He was not in the Nfl in o3. Do the Chargers recycle jersey from year to year. Just wanting to know if its his jersey or a jersey made to the specs of his jerseys. I dont have any pics.
thanks

Not sure why you're asking about a done deal, can't even get a Sproles jersey to come up there under recently completed items. Therefore, can't comment intelligently as NFL Auctions auctions off both game used and "authentics" which usually are just pro-cuts.

Re: Need help on a sproles jersey

I am just asking because bought it on nflauctions.com i thought i was buying a game used but after i got it there were some red flags for me. It was auction Na149654 it said Chargers - Authentic Vintage Game Worn Jersey Darren Sproles. I was just wanting to know what authentic game worn jersey meant. plus the collar patch had 03 and he was still in school. I am away on business and had an email from someone wanting to buy it. If it was not game used i didnt want to tell him it was. I dont want to rip anyne off. Thats why i am asking. Dont mean to be a pain. I just dont know alot about jerseys yet. I didnt know if the jersey itself had been used and they just changed the nameplate to sproles and he actually never wore it.

Go into your NFL.com auctions account and copy and paste the link to the auction. Anything you bid on or won is stored there for a super long time. I remember his jersey from the London gamer sold for a few grand.

Re: Need help on a sproles jersey

What are the supposed red flags? Jersey is trashed with game use, direct from NFL Auctions, and bears the London game patch.

What's to doubt?

After Sproles' game last night you can at least get your money out of it I would think.

Never mind, I was looking at the wrong link. You got what looks to be a spotless Sproles' from what year? See collar tag, can't see in pics.

If there's no wear, I'd look to see how much he played the year in question.

Is there ANY wear and tear?

Argh, again never mind, you say it says 03 and Sproles did not join the Chargers until 2005. Definite red flag, particularly if no wear on jersey, and particularly since they also auction pro-cut jerseys, could have been a listing error. Could the Chargers have used a recycled 03 jersey for Sproles? Don't know, but absent obvious wear I would be suspicious.

Re: Need help on a sproles jersey

The collar tagging say 03. He was at Kansas State in 03. They beat Oklahome in the big 12 Championship game. Thats why i have questions. I dont know enough about jerseys. Why would it be game worn if he wasnt in the nfl. thanks for all your help.

Re: Need help on a sproles jersey

I have emailed them about this to find out. I emailed them before i bought it but no response. I bet it was a misprint. There is really no wear to the jersey. thanks again.

See my post below, we crossed each other. Note Sproles missed 2006 due to injury and unis changed in 2007. Bottom line, if it IS as represented - game used - there should be SOME visible wear. If no wear you can either request return with NFL Auctions or flip it with the honest representation made by NFL Auctions. If you're uncomfortable link to the auction and let the buyer decide.
