Re: PHOTO MATCH ...expert please
Although not an expert and I haven't stayed in a Holiday Inn Express lately, I would say no to a photo match. To me photo match means there are a) distinguishing characteristics found and matched on both the jersey and photo(s), as well as b) no areas where the photo and jersey do not match. I don't see anything that is distinctive and meets criteria a.

Re: PHOTO MATCH ...expert please
i am not an expert but would like to tell you what i would be looking.
on the gettys image, i am looking at the stain on the 1 and on your photo of you jersey they only thing that stood out was the stitches under the armpit area.
i tried zoom in on the area on the armpit and the photo was too blurry to see a match.
the stain on the jersey is entirely missing on your jersey.
looks like a nice photo match.
would like feedfack if i am doing this right.Regards,

Re: PHOTO MATCH ...expert please
photo attached for what i mentioned above
another i notice is the number placement. it looks to be place in the same position relative to the lettering. i dont know if this can be used. i drew lines but dont now if this is an accepted method but just throw it out there.Regards,

Re: PHOTO MATCH ...expert please
I agree with Matt. The photo is not of sufficient resolution to definitively say yes (and so you have to conclude no). However, I blew up the photos and it looks like you may have a match if you were able to get a higher resolution version of the photo. You may want to contact MeiGray. For example, there is what I call a "patch bump" at the base of the 2 that looks like it may match the 2 in the Getty image. There are some other similarities, but again, not enough to say it's a match. I've said it before and I'll say it again ... photomatching is not horseshoes. A photomatch is definitive and undeniable. Looks like you have a great jersey with very good potential for a photomatch.
As a general note, I am really enjoying all of the posts and threads on GUU that address issues of photomatching (or present possible photomatch items). I think this process is going to be a centerpiece of the hobby's future. Not only is it cool for the collector (I know I enjoy an item more after it has been photomatched), but it may well serve to help eliminate some of the hobby's persistent fraud. I say this solely as a collector, as I have no tie to any photomatching service such as MeiGray's whatsoever (just want to make this clear up front).Always looking for top NBA game worn items of superstar and Hall-of-Fame-caliber players (especially Kobe, LeBron, MJ, Curry and Durant). Also looking for game worn items of all players from special events (e.g., All Star Game, NBA Finals, milestone games, etc.). Please contact me at gameusedequip2@hotmail.com. Thank you.

Re: PHOTO MATCH ...expert please

Re: PHOTO MATCH ...expert please
I noticed what you call "stain"...
No stain on my jersey, there is a sort of "wave" in the # 1 fabric probably due to washing
