Re: Sosa Cubs' Jersey on eBay

I personally wouldn't trust it if it came from "Hollywood Collectibles".

When I looked at their site, I saw that all of their autographed jerseys are fake borntrade.com knockoff jerseys that they are trying to sell for $400+ dollars. If someone is trying to pass off a $25.00 jersey as being a $400.00 jersey, then I'm sure they wouldn't have an issue trying to sell an authentic looking jersey as being game used and so on.

Strip tag font in collar does not match the norm. Keep in mind, in 2000, 4 MLB teams, including the Cubs, had their "Majestic" uniforms made by Wilson. The manufacturer tags and sleeve logo are Majestic, but the embroidery font on tags is Wilson-based in nature. I'd stay away.

Re: Sosa Cubs' Jersey on eBay

Rich Altman is not known for game used, and appears to be off on this one. However, when it comes to autographs, he's been one of the most respected auto dealers in the biz for at least the last 20 years. While I wouldn't suggest anyone bid on this jersey, I think a blanket "Stay away" on all his items is unwarranted.

Has anyone contacted Rich about this??

Same seller has the jersey up on eBay again. Bidding is at $177.50 with less than a day to go.

The Sosa Jersey in the ebay link is not being sold by Hollywood collectibles.

I'm not understanding the reference to them with this jersey.
