Re: REA blog: Michael Jordan Jersey Authentication Story: 90% of Value Vanishes
One alternate theory since the jersey passed through so many hands is that someone took the "real" jersey and replaced it with a "game issued".
This would explain why James Spence couldn't pass the signature.
Again, this is just an alternate theory but would explain why these vast differences have occurred.
Any thoughts?

PS - Great work by Mears!

Re: REA blog: Michael Jordan Jersey Authentication Story: 90% of Value Vanishes
How many Olympic uniforms are given to players at that time? And how many were actually game worn or used during that time? Is there any other authority that can help verify this information?
How about Champion? Is there any authority that verifies the tagging if these were really considered authentic?
The only difference between the two jerseys is the ARCH on the NOB "JORDAN" (the Letters "J and "N")

The jersey on HA has a hologram that looks like it was tampered with. Could the hologram been taken off of another jersey and placed on this jersey? The holograms are designed to break apart if tampered with.
There is no mention of damage to the hologram in the auction description.
Look at this close-up:
Thoughts?

Re: REA blog: Michael Jordan Jersey Authentication Story: 90% of Value Vanishes
If memory serves me correctly, I think that in 1985-86, Wilson made the Bulls jerseys...
Rawlings was deifinitely his rookie year
wilson 2nd year- (broken foot year)
sand knit from 86-89
Champion from 90-96
Nike and so on
I've never heard of an 85-86 Jordan ever surfacing...
any thoughts?

Re: REA blog: Michael Jordan Jersey Authentication Story: 90% of Value Vanishes
no question that the Heritage & GFC shirts don't match Rudy's video
Wow...but I'm sure the Heritage shirt will continue to be run despite the evidence...
just goes to show that you can't weigh so heavily on a letter...I'll be the first to admit that it was the first thing I always wanted also...but now I have learned to do ALL of the research myself and if it comes with a team letter, than the letter is a bonus

Rawlings made Bulls jerseys, Jordan's first 2 years. Wilson NEVER made Bulls or North Carolina jerseys during Jordan's era.

Does anyone know Ron Marth? Maybe we can get some more insight.
Is it the same Ron Marth as this one?
Fake Favre signatures alleged: Two are indicted
April 28, 1998
A widely known Milwaukee sports memorabilia dealer and a second man were indicted Tuesday by a federal grand jury on charges that they sold more than a thousand fake signatures of Green Bay Packers star quarterback Brett Favre for as much as $125 apiece.
The indictment also charges Ron Marth, owner of Mister Sports, in Mequon, with selling more than 1,000 fake signatures of other sports stars.
