i agree, there have been a lot of posts regarding the economy and is it affecting gu. well i think the real high end items still did well, but the more common modern stuff took a big beating. i consigned 2 items and am very disappointed in the outcomes.

Re: Grey Flannel Auction - What did you win?

With the Grey Flannel Auction closing last night I was wondering what some of the board members picked up in the auction. I ended up with some nice Indians Jerseys (Ramirez & Omar Vizquel TATC)

Greg,

I am hoping you can comment on this being that you bought 2 TATC Indians jerseys last night. Is there a tell-tale sign on the jersey that makes it obvious that it is a game worn jersey and not a retail authentic with custom lettering.

Refer to the link below...

Center Star Sports does a fantastic job with the lettering on blank retail authentics, using the same exact silver glitter twill material and the same font. I have several jerseys that have been lettered this way, and they are all great unique pieces within my niche TATC collection. What scares me is what if one of these jerseys somehow makes it out into the market with the guise of "rare game used jersey"? Is there any way you could tell the difference?

Thanks,
Nick

I just clicked on my account and printed off an invoice. It's already in the mail.

Outbid on a couple basketball items at like 2:30am including that game worn Baron Davis jersey with the NBA LOA!

Re: Grey Flannel Auction - What did you win?

Nick, I did some extensive research to address just that issue before bidding on the jerseys. I was able to actually track down some video from the actual game and did some extensive matching as it relates to placement, spacing etc. on the backs of the jerseys.

Grey Flannel was also helpful as it relates to answering questions about the consigner/sourcing for the jerseys and they do come with a COA from the team. However, I did not just rely on that as the Indians team COA's range from being completely generic to being very specific. I actually called the team and got some good questions answered. I dug deep enough that I was comfortable enough to buy the jerseys. I will post some more on this project in the near future once I receive the jerseys and take close up pics, etc. Thanks.

I stayed up until about 4am as the highest bidder on the Rick Barry Summer League jersey, the Larry Johnson jersey & the 1958 New York Giants basketball jersey.

I ended up passing out & lost out on every single one.

I would of gladly paid more than what they ended up going for, oh well, it's my own fault.

During their HOF auction in September I put in a couple bids for the Away K. State Beasley jersey but was easily outbid.

That jersey ended up selling for $9,000.
A white Home K.State Beasley jersey just went for $600. lol

What do you know about the Giants basketball Jersey. Aside from searching "new york giants 1958 basketball". Yea, they had a team that played the G'trotters...but who says they used this jersey? Wouldn't you like a photo-reference? Trusting GF on blind faith alone, may not be wise. It may be what they say...but let's see some sorta photo or something. Also, this exact jersey sold on eBay within the last 7 months for around fifty bucks.

I won the Joe Cribbs 1981 Bills/ Pro bowl jersey. He was my favorite Bills players as a kid. I also thought I had the Rodman Lakers jersey won but lost out on that one late too.
