You can't just come on here and say something is fake without providing the evidence to back it up, Specifically what is wrong, and what should it look like?

Re: givens patriots jersey in historic yet another FAKE
I agree with amex on the Givens jersey and I don't like the Dillon jersey being offered either...
Here are the jerseys in question...
PROBLEMS-
1.) Nameplate sits too low on both of the back of these jerseys...
2.) "Givens" font is COMPLETLEY wrong and it appears the nameplate is too long.
3.) The #'s on both appear to be off...almost to "fat"for both...
4.) The rear #'s on "Dillons" jersey sits to low...should be up higher/closer to bottom of shoulder seam...
4.) The Shoulder #'s should be closer to the neck line...to much space on both of these...
Other than that, there rock solid gamers...Comment

Re: givens patriots jersey in historic yet another FAKE
both the givens and the dillon have numbers that are clearly the wrong font. oddly enough they both use the same incorrect font. both jerseys are in historic auctions and both authenticated by bernie gernay.
if i were an idiot, i'd say this is all very shocking.

Re: givens patriots jersey in historic yet another FAKE
something is clearly wrong here. a member cant say a shirt is bogus "he needs proof" we take the high road here huh? meanwhile these "authenticators" are clearly stating something is not what its meant to be, and at a price and thats ok? even if one of the forum members makes a mistake,.... its not as bad as buying a fake shirt deemed legit by a LOA. oh wait i think i got it WE DONT WANT TO HURT THE AUCTION HOUSES REPUTATION is that it? i think a list is needed to post the auction houses, their "innocent" mistakes, and who wrote the Loa. time and time they are wrong, the forum members have a better track record.

Yes, everyone should have to provide proof if they are going to come on here and say that an item at auction is fake. I don't think it has anything to do with protecting a auction house or an authenticator but keeping this forum reputable. It's no good to just let people come on here and say items are bad and leave it at that. If one had knowledge about an item share it with others instead of just bad mouthing it.
This forum is a great place for collectors to share their knowledge but when you open it up for just a bunch of mud slinging that provides no valuable info it does the forum no good. If a person knows an item is fake but can't give info on why they believe it to be fake then they should remain silent. It's like the saying goes, if your going to talk the talk then you need to walk the walk.Comment

Re: givens patriots jersey in historic yet another FAKE
I have a lot more respect for the forum member that says ‘here is a photo from every game that season, you make a decision’ vs. the one that says ‘this item is fake because I found ONE photo that doesn’t match, THESE GUYS ARE CROOKS!’
Also, I know everybody loves to just post and talk about it on here, but has anybody actually called any auction houses and talked to them about it?Comment

Re: givens patriots jersey in historic yet another FAKE
If I were running an auction house, I would pride myself in providing the best available products (even if that meant fewer auctions per year), excellent customer service- (which includes answering questions about the items) and would answer questions on the auction house website AND only use authenticators which have contact information and stand behind their opinions, which in total guess what, would end up fetching higher auction prices.
Instead you see auction houses protecting authenticators who aren't available to offer info on their opinions and not answering questions about products which may in fact not be legit.
I think if you look at the situation logically, it's not so hard to figure out whom to trust. A cynic would say there aren't too many out there to trust, but proper homework lets you choose wisely.
