Polamalu Jersey - Is it the same one???
Are these the same jersey's appearing 7 months apart, with the latter showing game wear to include repairs and a shortened tail? The neck tag appears to be an EXACT match...thoughts anyone?

Re: Polamalu Jersey - Is it the same one???
I agree. They look the same and that is very disappointing to me as I am the one who purchased the Grey Flannel jersey. I have sent an email to Richard with a link to this posting and requesting a refund.
While I don't think Grey Flannel has done anything wrong here, I do believe their consignor has doctored the jersey. The chances of the tags being the exact same on different jerseys is 1 in 10 million in my opinion.
thanks,
Coveh

Re: Polamalu Jersey - Is it the same one???
i concur with others that the tags are the same. each side has the same number of stitches, each stitch is identical in shape and placement. you couldn't reproduce such an effect with a sewing machine if you tried. it would be next to impossible.
coveh, please let us know what GFC says! as for them not doing any wrong, you'd think that if they have the cojones to call themselves "the world's foremost authenticators", then they'd be able to spot doctored repairs/use.

Re: Polamalu Jersey - Is it the same one???
guys, i emailed GFC tonight, requesting a refund, saying that I am sure nothing was intentionally done wrong.
please see their response below, verbatim.
all they said was, "get lost creepy"
I am speechless.

WOW!!!!!
This thread should be kept on top of the board with a sticky, and renamed to "Grey Fannel Polamalu" to show what jerks these guys are!!!!!
I'd be making plans to go to Chicago to visit these guys at the National

How many examples need to be compiled before a fair judgement can be drawn on the lack of professionalism and honesty at GFC?

Re: Polamalu Jersey - Is it the same one???
I have reached out to them again and will let you know what their reply is.
I will say that if we don't work things out amicably, i do plan on contacting the FBI, Michael O'Keeffe at the NY Daily News, the NBA, the Basketball Hall of Fame and NY Better Business Bureau. I do not plan on just letting this go.
I was more than professional in my contacts with them and I expect the same courtesy.
The funny thing is, prior to Chris' posting of the matching tags, I was interested in buying GFC's Lynn Swann Pro Bowl jersey because I have always wanted a Swann jersey.
I will keep you guys posted and will post their next response. I will say the content of my reply to them is basically what you see here.
