Hi Guys,

Can you experts have a look at this jersey:

http://www.greyflannelauctions.com/LotDetail.aspx?lotid=22255

I am wonding if this is the real deal...

1. The Tiernan label looks good.
2. The indentations of the tops of the 3 and 2 look good.
3. I am not sure of the Lakers logo.
A. The cross strike at the top of the "L" seem rounded which does not seem consistant with any photos I have found in archives.
4. The "S" seems to be consistant with post 1982/1983. In 82/83 it seems like the "S" was separated more from the "R".
5. The white trim in the logo and in the "Johnson" letters seems to look hand cut.

To be honest with you guys... I won this auction. I have not paid for it yet. I do not like to back out on any deal that I make but upon admiring this item after winning I am seeing more than I saw before.

Do you have any experience that you would like to share. I have heard that there a lot of fake Tiernan jerseys already.

Thanks in advance.

CK

Guys, I found a number of problems with this Tiernan Magic jersey. Now they seem pretty obvious. One of the problems I see (better late than never) with the Magic were the proportions of the cut.

Interestingly the cut of the subject Magic jersey looks like one that GFC had in the Christmas 09 auction as well. Only thing is that the other jersey I'm referring to is a college jersey. They actually had it as a California Golden Bear jersey but since Cal was always gold and black and never green I presume it is actually an University of Alberta jersey.
