Hopefully someone on this site purchased this jersey so that we can get them a refund.

There are several of these fakes floating around as discussed in past posts on this site.

UPDATE: I contacted the seller and he did not sell. I also found out that the person who won the jersey has sold fakes in the past. I guess he was gonna re-sell this one for a profit to someone else. Geez!
We are in discussions now to see what he can do with the jersey. The only problem with making the owner give a refund is that they will want the jersey back, and probably just resell to another collector.
Any suggestions on what to do????

Well first thing when calling out a Jersey a fake.

I think it would be informative of you to please note why it is a fake to the other collectors. It helps to educate us all on what to look for.

You are correct and I apologize. There are several things wrong with the auction jersey but the easiest to see involve the number fonts. The pictures below should tell the story.
