in may 2005, historic auctions sold a carlos beltran jersey for $302.50

here is the jersey:

currently ASI is selling a carlos beltran jersey on ebay:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=180158972634

the description says "This size 46 Beltran jersey was obtained directly through Carlos himself".

1) it's the same jersey. the folds on the back numbers are identical. therefore, the jersey can not have been obtained directly through Carlos himself. at best, it was obtained directly through whoever won the Historic auction.

2) i have seen many jerseys "won" in historic's auction that later ended up being sold on ebay by either historic or asi. this strikes me as very odd. does historic really have so many non-paying bidders and so many consigners who later agree to have their jerseys sold on ebay?

3) it suffers from the same incorrect nob arch shared by another beltran jersey that ASI offered earlier. see: http://www.gameuseduniverse.com/vb_f...ead.php?t=8338
both jerseys have the same incorrect nob arch. photos of beltran from 2005 show a far less pronounced arch than seen on the ASI/Historic jerseys.
