Jo Sports Co Rip???

[net0@thehalf]

Can anyone confirm that JO is done? I know a member commented about their website being gone but has anyone called over there? Are you happy or sad about this? Would love to hear your thoughts and experiences good or bad!!!

Website has definitely been taken down. I have not tried to contact them, but I did receive a marketing email from one of their sales reps yesterday.

I wonder what Jarrod's plans are after he gets out. Will he still stay in the game used business or become a real estate agent or insurance broker?

As far as I was concerned, as soon as they lost the Broncos' contract, they were already done..... I truthfully didn't even realize they were still operating, to be honest. Most teams have moved on, so I did too.

Will a Jo Sports coa bring down the value on gamers?

Re: Jo Sports Co Rip???

Possibly it will if you cannot definitively photo match the piece in question. A wise man once told me its not what you know it's what you can prove!!! People in the know wont be the problem, it will be the select uneducated few or the ones looking to score your piece and down play what it is and cast a shadow of doubt over it to steal it at 50% off or more... everyone's looking for the deal of the century on the cheap. As long as you know what you have that's really all that matters. a JO coa isn't worth the paper it's printed on but your homework and proof positive facts are undeniable... hopefully you have the team coa signed by the equipment managers that most pieces came with except towards the end of there run!!!

Bx all their newer stuff is all real. If the item is older then you may have to do more research. But i know for sure their newer contracted items 2007-12 are mostly all real with no worries. This was when they got major contracts and such from many teams.

Insurance agent? He'd be OK there - he can sell Obamacare

While I understand your point to say this is a bit irresponsible. No one knows their inside dealing and to be honest I wouldnt trust them as you dont know where those COAS are right now and whats being done with them. Sorry if I seem negative but to be honest I cant trust a company whom the head at one time faked game used jersey who now has a pile of COA's and bank accounts dwindling.

Re: Jo Sports Co Rip???

I consider myself very lucky, dealt with them past and present with only one issue. I purchased a Laron Landry jersey that was sent with a Donovan McNabb COA and Hologram. Never heard back or got a replacement, the Landry thankfully was able to be photomatched.

That said, the COA they provide in my opinion devalue the jersey unless again your able to match it.

The initial return to Ebay was difficult for them. I was able to buy several (well researched) gamers of above average players for below market value.

It's like most other things in this hobby, prolly shouldn't be buying to make money because it rarely happens. If your happy with the item, that's all that matters.

Have a friend buy some questionable NFL gamers from JO, he wear thems to games. He paid a fraction of the cost of a real jersey, his main complaint is the tags they transfer in to code the team and date of use itches.

Agreed. Again, doesn't matter if the jersey is coming from NFL Auctions themselves or ANY reputable auction/3rd party, DO YOUR HOMEWORK! Yes, I purchased 2 NFL jerseys from JO, but before I did, I photomatched both just to be sure.
I was interested in one of their Ray Lewis jerseys from, I think, 2010 season but it had been washed with no photomatch possibility. Funny, is I think this same jersey is on their Ebay page right now! However, they did get another Lewis jersey in (black alt one) and I was able to photomatch it very easily and purchased it.

But as Mick said, it's pretty dry out there! NFL Auctions and maybe Goldin/Hunt auctions are the best places to find true game worn NFL jerseys these days.

Re: Jo Sports Co Rip???

Bought some complete uniforms from them, while on the phone parts (gloves,cleats) didn't match. But the helmet, jersey did. This was about 2 yrs ago. So there is no time period by my experience in which you can be sure. Not all fake, not all real. Again, some parts were def legit. Take from it what you will.
From AH's etc I still need a photo match unless the provenance is impeccable.

DEFINITELY!!! Me personally, I'd rather NO COA at all than one of those JO COA's that say "GAME WORN DURING **** SEASON…"
But that's just me...
