Funny Grey Flannel story-Pippen jersey..

[33bird]

A few days ago GF put a Pippen 1998-99 game used Bulls jersey on their site for sale. I think for almost 3k. I emailed them and told them Pipp didn't play for the Bulls in 98-99-thinking they probably just messed up the years and really meant 97-98. Nope-it was gone the next day. Would they really not know that?

It's sad that they authenticate items for the NBA Hall of Fame.

Greg-

Hard to believe such a mistake could be made by GF, based on the following information found on their home page:

"Grey Flannel was founded in 1989 in New York by Richard Russek and Andy Imperato. Grey Flannel, with their experience and expertise, has developed into the world's foremost authenticators and dealers of game-used jerseys. In 1994 GFC became the Official Appraisers and Authenticators for the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall Of Fame."

Did anyone contact Grey Flannel to find out about the error?

I emailed them asking about the situation and received a nasty reply about their feelings about this web site that I cannot post on here.

Re: Funny Grey Flannel story-Pippen jersey..

if that is the case, is it possible the Hall of Fame has some dubious pieces on display?

Re: Funny Grey Flannel story-Pippen jersey..

Anytime anyone mentions an auction house your automatic reply is "did anyone contact them." It should be obvious that if they had they would mention it.

Some people love to have a field day with auction houses they do not like. Did anyone contact Grey Flannel to find out about the error?

I emailed them asking about the situation and received a nasty reply about their feelings about this web site that I cannot post on here.

Joel, the original poster says that he e-mailed GFC about the error.
You were e-mailed about the situation? You mean the situation where the official authenticators of the basketball hall of fame failed to do a google search of Pippen's stats?
If you can't post the nasty reply from an unknown person about his/her feelings of this website...then why mention it to begin with?

This fabricated drama is quite nauseating.

According to Greg's initial post, he sent the seller an email indicating the error , and as a result the jersey is no longer available the following day. Instead of sending a "thank you" or reply email to Greg, it's noted that the seller has displeasure with this site?

Simply classic!

Re: Funny Grey Flannel story-Pippen jersey..

I emailed them before I posted on here. They never emailed me back and explained the jersey. It just disappeared. I don't have a problem with GF. They have some great stuff and sometimes some dubious pieces. Like all places that sell: Do your own homework.

Re: Funny Grey Flannel story-Pippen jersey..

it seems like an auction house's like or dislike of this site is in direct proportion to the amount of screwups they make. historic auctions has blocked linking to their site from GUF. robert edwards auctions, on the other hand, has publically praised GUF and links to it on their site.

somehow the "official authenticator for the basketball hall of fame" can't even bothered to look up a roster yet it's this site that's the problem? what do GFC's feelings about this site have to do with them screwing up?

what richie is likely upset at is that his screwups are made public; that he's held accountable for his shoddy work. victor of AMI is probably none too happy about his consigners coming here and discussing how they haven't been paid in months and are forced to take legal action to get paid. i'm sure both would rather such info be kept quiet. it's like a scooby doo episode with a guy at the end shaking his fist and saying "i would've gotten away with it if not for you kids!"

No doubt, you're referencing one of the best and most appropriate Scooby episodes ever:

The Ghost That Sacked the Quarterback



While attending a Hawk's football game, Flash Granger, is kidnapped right off the field. When in his place is a mysterious ghost, all the players better watch out because they may be the

I emailed Grey Flannel asking for a comment, and they sent me a reply insulting Chris Cavalier that I will not post on here.

I didn't say anyone had to email Grey Flannel - look at my original post - I just ask if anyone contacted Grey Flannel to ask about the post. When I contacted them I received a reply that I will not post on here for it is insulting to the forum.

Sorry this is so insulting --- I just asked if anyone had contacted them over the error. I tried to help

Now - Did anyone find Grey Flannel to have done anything wrong but they misidentified an error (who knows why?) that maybe they missed or maybe they just don't want to support a web site owned by Chris Cavalier so they ignore questions that come from his members?

Re: Funny Grey Flannel story-Pippen jersey..

If you would have read the OP's first post you would have understood that he contacted Grey Flannel and only after that did they take down the Pippen jersey.

The OP was making a general comment.

Re: Funny Grey Flannel story-Pippen jersey..

Joel, why is it you have to chime in with your same old cliche that you use. If you would have actually read the OP's first post you would have understood that he contacted Grey Flannel and only after that did they take down the Pippen jersey.

The OP was making a general comment. How do you know he doesn't like Grey Flannel as you suggest?

What are you talking about.

I was just wondering if anyone had communicated with Grey Flannel about the error before Howard Wolf and the same people who always want to put Grey Flannel down comment about their status as authenticator for The Basketball Hall of Fame and other comments that always come whenever the same people find an issue with anything Grey Flannel.

Did I defend them? No. Did I harass anyone? No. I asked if anyone had emailed them. I just asked. I didn't say anyone did anything wrong - I asked a question because when I emailed them asking for a comment I was given the following reply:

"I do not read the forums anymore. it is complete propaganda for Chris Cavalier to make money."
