Hi Guys,
I am still relatively new to this hobby and I wanted to run a recent purchase of mine of eBay with you guys to see if you think it is real based on its merits. I recently purchased an either 2004 or 2005 (based on the vest style jersey) Zack Greinke game used jersey off of eBay. This jersey did not come with MLB certs, but everything on it seems right. It has the 0062 tagging under the seam, velcro under the Royals logo of the jersey. Signs of exceptional use. I do have two minor concerns with it that may not be concerns at all, but I wanted to check with you guys who have more extensive collections. First, as you can see with a close up of the pictures, the three on the front of the jersey seems to be off a little bit. The stitching on the back seems to be consistent with the rest of the jersey, but I didn't know if that is a warning sign or something to where it was a factory error or they put together the jersey real quick since he was being called up. Second, does the fraying on the Greinke seem excessive to anyone, or consistent with a jersey that was well used. I am basically looking for an expert's opinion on whether you guys think the jersey is the real deal or did I as a rookie get burned on this one. I paid a decent price for it so for me I am hoping it is real. I would love to frame it and put it up with my other Greinke game used items, but I don't want to do it unless I have some second opinions that its good. So comment away!
