2001 Barry Bonds jersey

Re: 2001 Barry Bonds jersey

What about the examples signed and noted with homer run # date. If the handwriting (including notation) is shown to be by Barry Bonds' hand, it would be hard for him to escape all culpability for that item (whether the item is genuine or fake).

agreed. you'd think mears would still objectively evaluate a shirt regardless of the provenance and any red flags would still be taken into consideration. look at all of those favre shirts with favre certs/holograms/matching photos. do you take an athlete at their word or do you require that a jersey, regardless of provenance, stand on its own?
mears has publically stated that provenance isn't a guarantee of an A10. the implication being that the shirt still has to stand on its own. how do these tagless bonds shirts stand on their own?

Re: 2001 Barry Bonds jersey

arenas 01 this is an example of a gamer from 2000 thats authentic. Its the 2001 that are all Bad.



The 2001 Jerseys are all fakes. Hoskins had Barry sign them and the home run jerseys are a joke. The authentic Bonds 2001 Jerseys must have the extra tags, the right size, and the Bonds authenticated patch, end of story. The Jerseys that are being sold as Game Used 2001 Jersey are simply store bought authentic jerseys and the Bonds authenticated patch was added. LIke I said I have never seen photos of Barry wearing any of these Jerseys without the extra tagging. If you look at the photos I posted with the jerseys untucked they aren't even close to these fakes. Its not a coincindence that all the photo's of 2001 Bonds untucked photos don't match up.
This was all about money and Barry and his agent made a killing on these Jerseys. Barry claims to have all his own 2001 Home Jerseys, why have we seen dozens auctioned or for sale? As a Bonds collector I have studied these jerseys and have seen the real gamers before in his locker. I will post photos of the only real 2001 I have ever seen for sale.

Fellow forum member Bondsfan is absolutely right, we both have compiled large Bonds collections and have discussed this before and are not surprised. We have known this was going on for quite some time!

Re: 2001 Barry Bonds jersey

Is the guy with the Bonds 715 bat game used and does he own that bat?

If so that's pretty dang sweet!

Re: 2001 Barry Bonds jersey

I'm not all that familiar with Giants jerseys - what features are you seeing to say it's not authentic?

Thanks,

Re: 2001 Barry Bonds jersey

If you follow this thread you will see that is it missing the size tag and extra length tags as should be on all Bonds jersey's from 2001.
