Johnny Damon Game-Used Jersey?
http://cgi.ebay.com/Damon-Game-Used-...QQcmdZViewItem
I'm seeking an opinion from all of you jersey experts. I am somewhat interested, but can't imagine anything Johnny Damon game used from 2004 would be listed for $389. I know absolutely nothing about jerseys and uniforms, so I am asking for any opinions that anyone may have. Thanks.

Re: Johnny Damon Game-Used Jersey?
I have had several 2004 Russell jerseys, and all had the "New" tag used only in 2004. This particular Damon has the pre-2004 tag, howver, is offered as a 2004..
See the link from a previous post.

You will need to solicit the advice from a RedSox expert on this one. No doubt there are quite a few who read and contribute to this site on a regular basis.

Re: Johnny Damon Game-Used Jersey?
Howard, sorry but you are wrong. I have handled many 2004 Russell jerseys that have had the pre-2004 Russell tag. For what I have seen it is about 50/50. 50% 2004 Russell jerseys with the pre-2004 manufacturers tag and 50% with the 2004 Russell manufacturers tag. The jersey in question looks ok to me, but I believe the same seller may have been selling similar jerseys as game-issued a few months ago.

Re: Johnny Damon Game-Used Jersey?
I've handled a bunch of Sox gamers from the 04 season. The only ones I've seen with the newer tagging are Orlando Cabrera (mid season trade, I'm sure everyone knows about), and Abe Alvarez, who only played one game in the bigs, the second game of a double header against the Orioles in July. But, I'm not so sure about the seller in question. He has had several "gamers" that show no use at all. I even bought a Roberto Alomar Indians jersey from him that was advertised as game used, and it was brand new.

How could I be wrong with what I posted, "I have seen quite a few 2004 RedSox 2004's, none having this older style tagging.

Joel, the Red Sox 2004 jerseys I have seen that came directly from the team had the newer tag. How can "this be wrong"?
I think you better reexamine what I posted before making baseless statements about me.

Re: Johnny Damon Game-Used Jersey?
I won't go into the arcana of Russell 2004 tagging here, but I will say that the year tagging on this piece looks awfully fresh for a game worn piece.
I'd stay away because:
It's a "star" jersey...fakes abound.
It's a last year of the contract Russell...lots of blanks got sold off, and some are re-appearing as "game used."
I have doubts about this sellers items, in general.
BTW: Joel, not to touch on yet another sensitive subject, but how do you manage to get all superstars, all the time? I've got some fairly decent Orioles contacts, and can't get jack out of them.

I appreciate everyone's responses as they have given me "food for thought", and some other contacts to possibly pursue a better authenticated jersey. Thanks again.
