GUU members,

I came across the Lebron James Cleveland Browns State Farm commercial jersey that was supposedly worn by Lebron during the filming of the commercial currently listed in Grey Flannel's auction. There is a link to the commercial included at the site. http://catalog.greyflannelauctions.com/2009-LeBron-James-Cleveland-Browns-State-Farm-Comm-LOT32523.aspx

The jersey in the auction is a different style jersey than the one Lebron wears in the commercial. If you look at the sleeve Lebron is wearing it's a jersey that is only orange and white stripes (no brown). The picture of the jersey up for auction has orange, white, and brown stripes. Its an earlier version browns jersey and not a match to the one worn by Lebron in the commercial. Attached are pictures.

I emailed the auction house and waited 24 hours for a response. A few more bids have been placed so I wanted to make sure to post here so that you all are aware. I have not heard back and at the time of this posting its still listed as being worn by lebron. Hope this helps. It is my opinion that its not the same jersey.

Thanks for the notice. I actually placed a bid yesterday and have since been outbid, but will definitely not be pursuing this item further.

The listing states James signed and numbered it 1/3. Maybe they made up 3 jerseys and this one wasn't worn in the commercial that aired?

As an FYI, a number of posts on this thread were deleted today and a suspension was issued. It appears no matter how often I say it is not allowed, there will be some who will continue to accuse others of criminal wrong-doing. AGAIN, THIS IS NOT ALLOWED HERE!

In fact, here is a thread I created on July 21st that addresses the exact topic:

While I really dislike having to make posts like this one, on a more positive note I would like to thank 'Dawg Pound' for his creating this thread in accordance with the forum rules.

Sincerely,
Chris

Update

Received an email back from auction house. They are "looking into" the listing and will make adjustments to their listing if they feel necessary.

I also asked to see if they can find any video or picture evidence to suggest that it was used on set to film the commercial to please share. I will continue to research. If I find any proof you all will be the first to know.
