Looks like a cool jersey.
Any thoughts?

I would never buy anything from that seller.

Not sure if the seller is clueless or just plays that way but lots of his items are not authentic.


He has been discussed plenty of times on this forum.

I think the seller is a good seller. I think his gear is legit. The Campbell shirt is as good as gold. It may get 3K.

Over the years I have seen jonstats sell lots of bogus gear including supposed game used caps, jerseys, shorts with freshly sharpie numbers ect...

Regardless if the seller plays dumb it's still does not make it right

From my experience I would be
careful.

Reading past posts though I can see you are a fan/supporter of his. To each thier own.

Someone emailed me a few days ago about that jersey. The 4's on every Campbell Oilers photo I found had serifs at the base of the 4, while this one didn't. I would stay away.

FTR: I don't believe jonstats is dishonest, but I do believe he either doesn't take time for research or doesn't do a very good job of it.

over 2,000 hopefully someone reads this post before they pay.

Notice the bottom of the number "4". Compare jonstats jersey's "4" to all the game photos from 1978. You will quickly see why this is not as advertised.

Here is a great post from back in 2014.

I know its a powder blue jersey, but........

Whats weird is the 4 on the sleeve is different than the 4 on the front, in this photo.

Plus, the color on the numbers on the jonstats jersey looks to be a little lighter than they should be. Could be the flash on the camera, not sure.

The listing shows the jersey as being a 1978 Russell tear away jersey. These tear away jerseys were banned starting in 1979. He listed the jersey as a 1978 rookie tear away. Is it possible he wore a tear away jersey in a game in 1978 and had to have another to replace it at some point? I am not familiar with all the different fonts that Russell tear aways or non tear away Wilson jerseys he might have used.

I bought a jersey off that nasty table! To me he came off as a flipper and not much of a collector. The jersey originally sold on eBay for $280 in October of 2014, then it sold through Mears for $371 with juice around December of 2014.
Then in January of 2015, it re-appeared on eBay and I got it for less than the original 2 sales.

The seller (jonstats) was very upset because he thought it was going to bring much more than what it sold for on eBay... Sounded like it was a sure flip for profit that wasn't...

I don't have issues with a flipper to each their own.That is not my concern. My concern was the items authenticity. Clearly I am not the only one that sees the issues.

I have issues with flippers but like you said, to each their own...

I was simply stating that he doesn't appear to be a collector and in my opinion doesn't know much about what he's flipping. I'm in no way defending him.

I didn't think that you where ahahaa.

The worst flippers are the ones that have no clue what they are buying to flip.

I just bought a jersey from him. It had been altered and he was more than willing to accept the return. I think he just finds stuff and lists it with little research done.

Here's another jersey that he's flipping.

He bought this jersey right there on eBay. It sold on Mar 21, 2013.

From the original listing:

Bob Svihus was the starting left offensive tackle for the Oakland Raiders between 1965 and 1969.

This was his game jersey.
My father was good friends with one of the minority owners of the Raiders during the 60's and 70's and as such, he attended many Raider functions including fund raising auctions. He bought this jersey at one of these auctions in the early 70's (1971 I believe).
The jersey is a size 52, and has many areas on it that are stitched up from game rash.
The jersey also has many autographs on the front numbers from the night that my father won it at auction.
Included in the autographs are John Madden, Virginia Madden, Daryl Lamonica and Fred Biletnikoff.
There are also 2 autographs that look to read "Denis Murphy" and "Jack Bell". In my research, I could not find these names tied to the Raiders, but I may be reading these autographs wrong.
Also, "Charlie the Bartender" signed the jersey. This obviously was the bartender that was serving my dad the night he won this auction.

Speaking of "legendary", whatever happened to the eBay seller who would display items on the closed seat of his toilet? I miss him (almost).;)

Looks like the buyer left positive feedback for the Earl Campbell jersey.
