Sand Knit Indiana State Basketball Jersey

Re: Sand Knit Indiana State Basketball Jersey

Do you have proof positive that this WASN'T worn by Bird. Size 42 is a very likely size for Bird in the late 70s. Don't forget Dr. J wore a size 40 at the same time for the Sixers. I have never seen an Indiana State photo of Bird wearing mesh. The previously posted ISU Bird photos are ALL wearing knit. This is tagged, lettered and numbered like a gamer. The autograph looks nice.

No proof it wasn't worn! Actually, the letter I received with the jersey written by the former friend of the Hulman family who had Bird sign the jersey in 1980 says amongst the letter: "I am not a sports jersey expert so I cannot guarantee that this jersey was worn in actual game play by Larry Bird, even though I was originally told that he made have worn it." (by the person who gave the Dr. the jersey) I believe the jersey to be game worn and maybe even the exact jersey pictured in all 3 of these photos. I am waiting for my blowup SI cover to arrive so I can look for the indention you see on the left front 3 of the jersey and the couple loose threads sticking out.

Both teams played hard, if this is the jersey depicted in some of the photos shown, what do you believe the auction house's could get for it? Close to the $20,000-$25,000 grand the Magic Johnson MSU jersey sold for in a major auction house? Not that I want to sell it being an MVC fan.

Is this the jersey posted on ebay on ebay weeks ago ?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=8780623168&sspagename=ADME:L:RTQ:US:1

the seller told me:

"It was on framed display at the Hulman Center (Terre Haute, Indiana) in 1979."

FYI
It looks like when this was originally sold here

Don't hold that against me.

Re: Sand Knit Indiana State Basketball Jersey

I can't believe all the people who bid and then passed on the jersey if it is as legit as it appears to be.

Was there a reason you were not interested in owning the jersey? Did you think the bids would go higher or something?

It has been brought to my attention by Eric that multiple users on this site have emailed him with "proof" that I am banned member David A. I absolutely know him, I absolutely have used his scans to help me find out more about the jerseys, and we have both used this same computer. If your "proof" is that you received an email from David on the same IP address, keep in mind that people can share a computer!

What is most interesting about this situation is that a few of the posts in question which no doubt led Pujols "experts" to email Eric and claim I am him - the posts themselves were never answered. What is there to hide? Especially in regards to the Pujols jersey. I did not question the individual.

I understand that you guys don't like David b/c he has returned the way you guys have acted to him. You guys know exactly what you did to add fuel to the fire.

Even more so, nothing has been done to Eric and others for libel and for the drop in price in comparison to past sales of Game Used Staubach and Bradshaw jerseys.

From a grown man to other grown men.......do you have nothing better to do than to email Eric trying to prove I am who you wish I was? Or trying to get me banned even though I have done nothing wrong but for asking simple questions which were never answered by the previous seller so far?

If you guys would like to contact him rather than spend your days worrying about who is whom....David is available at YOUNGJERSEYCOLLECTOR@HOTMAIL.COM. I am available at sportsgameused@hotmail.com. That would be much easier than spending your time trying to prove what you are trying to prove to the moderator so you can win a kids game and get me kicked off this site. Why do you care so much?

Do not post anything on David's behalf. He was suspended for breaking the rules of the board and in response he kept signing up under false names and continuing his accusatory threads. At this point he is again trying to manipulate the system, and I will not let that happen.

Funny that you point out that line.

I have found quite a few of my business associates are not reading the forum as they used to because they feel that too many children and $100.00 jersey buyers are filling up the board with useless information.

I keep reminding them that there are quite a few mature buyers on this forum who read but do not post...

That is unfortunate that you would say that.

I am of the belief that there is a lot of good info on the board. I learn a few things every day.

Eric, I am just stating what I hear from associates when I speak to them on the phone.

In fact, after this post I was on the phone with a regular of the forum who said basically what I posted without even reading it.

Who gave the Bird to Grey Flannel?

Re: Sand Knit Indiana State Basketball Jersey

I would trade mine for theirs in a heartbeat though. I think that's the Final 4 worn Bird jersey.
