hi rick,

i am assuming that people ask question when they submit an item to be authenticated such as their process of authenticating an item. maybe i am naive and people just trust that they will do their best. like in this example, how could this be missed if they had exemplars. i assume that people ask questions when their item comes back unauthentic. it just seems that bad item get authenticated all the time and then its up to the buyer to prove that the item is not what the COA claims it to be.

I'm completely on-board with you. My previous post was an attempt (emphasis on attempt) at irony e.g. if every collector had your common sense, the house of cards we call the memorabilia industry would collapse overnight.

I've received several questions about the following jersey currently offered in the Vintage Authentics auction:

"2008 Indians game worn Victor Martinez jersey, Lampson grade 8.5"

Lou may want to take a quick 15 second look at Getty or photos from 2007 and 2008, showing the names on the back of the Indians jerseys. The Tribe switched from the offered "3-D/Shadow" style to traditional block lettering in 2008. The shirt in question is pre-2008.

Yet another fine job of authenticating by Sweet Lou!

Below is a photo of 2, 2008 gamers I picked-up. Notice the block letters for the names, as it should be. The 3-D/shadow was last used in 2007. Not sure how Lampson classified the Martinez as a 2008, but a 2 second search on Getty would have confirmed this.



Both shirts are available-email me if interested.

Steve-

The jersey is one of the best Sizemore's I've seen. Tons of use, size 48.

Thanks.

Well Howard, maybe I should practice for Lou by going after Bin Laden, then, and only then, can I hope to have honed by skills enough to find the ever elusive Mr. Lampson......

They're probably BOTH hiding in the upper deck at PNC Park.
