Hello everyone
I wanted to open up a dialogue here about the current state of the NFL game used market. I have deep concerns about where we are, and if something isn't done to correct the situation, I think it's going to continue to be a lawless wasteland.
Never have I seen so many jerseys by star players available on ebay, on dealer websites and in major auction houses with serious flaws- Patches sewn in thew wrong place, improper nameplate, no customizations.
These jerseys are going for thousands of dollars, and are actually worthless.
The consignors are profiting, the auction houses are profiting and whoever the genius is who is buying up all of these jerseys to pass around is making out like a bandit all based on people's inexperience in the hobby, lack of education or inability to get answers before bidding, and it's time that this come out in the open.
It has come to the point where I personally will not buy a current (post '97) NFL jersey unless I buy it directly from the NFL or a team website.
Everyone out there who has an auction house or website claims to have direct team connections, but for all of the people who claim that, it can't possibly be true.
In the case of Prosportsinvestments draft day titans jersey with nameplate- Rudy matched it thread for thread to a game cut which was sold by nfl auctions, so their claim of getting it from the team was a flat out mistruth.
I want the following questions answered. It can be here, or emailed ot me privately and your identity will be kept secret.
Where are these bogus star NFL jerseys coming from?
Who is getting them? How are they getting them? Who is profiting by them?
Who is doing the nameplate and patch sewing and lame customization attempts, and even fake repairs?
There are a few people who have singlehandedly ruined this part of the hobby, and it's time they paid for these injustices. Now, I have heard the rumors, and I have the suspicions of who is behind this but what we need are the facts. Someone has to know something and be willing to step forward, even privately to stop this. Do the right thing, because certain people are lying cheating and stealing and I'm sick of it.
