This one ended but what's the consensus on the authenticity of this claimed game used Ichiro away jersey?

Looks good to me. All propper tagging and shoulder patches.

The seller also offered this jersey at the same time the mentioned jersey was up for auction:

He also guaranteed this jersey to pass authentication. This size 44 jersey has a year 2000 Russell tag with a 2002 strip tag. The auctioned ended early because it was no longer for sale.

Here is the link to the 2001 jersey:

So based on the incorrect taggings on the other jersey, does that make it bogus? Can anyone determine if the 2001 jersey has all correct tags?

Well the 2002 is a size 44 and the 2001 is a size 48 so either Ichiro lost weight or the 2002 is definately a fake (not to mention the awsome eye of island style pointing out the tag differences). What makes it worse is that the seller GUARENTEED it would pass MEARS PSA ect...PLUS he states he recieved the 2002 "IN PERSON". I would stay away from this seller even if the tagging looks correct on the 2001.

[Lokee]

also notice NO up close picture of the tagging on the 2001 as he did with the 2002. One would think that after he got so much mail over the incorrect 2002 jersey he decided to not have a up-close on the 2001. Something is fishy

The first time the seller listed the 2002 jersey, he identified the actual game that Ichiro wore the jersey. I have not tried to photo match the jersey with the game, but here is the link to the previous time the jersey was listed:

Maybe some of the photo match experts can help out.

The 6th row down 4/17/02 there are a few photos of ichiro for the A's game GOODLUCK @

[island_style]

I don't know about that. Check out the eighth row down, last picture on the right. Look at the piping trim by the button where it meets the "T" in "Seattle," and compare it to where it meets the "T" in the eBay auction.

By the way, I had no interest in purchasing the jersey. I was just intrigued by the seller's statement of receiving the jersey in person, but not wanting to spend the money to authenticate it.

Kind Regards,

Ron.
