Lampson Is Still On His A Game!!!
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"
http://www.vintageauthentics.com/cgi...unbr=107580731
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!

Re: Lampson Is Still On His A Game!!!
Here is a shot of Grady Sizemore from 2008 in his blue jersey-note the block lettering on the name, not the 3-D/shadow style as worn pre-2008 and as found on the "2008" Martinez jersey that Lampson graded an 8.5:

So is the jersey bad all together, or has Lou made a "mistake" (I use the term very loosely) and the jersey is more recent, but still game used? Ricardo

Ricardo-
Great question!
I suggest you ask Lampson and let us know what he says.

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......

dont authenticator have examplar photos that they are suppose to use to compare stuff to like JSA has for photographs. I hear JSA has thousands of examplar that they have in their database.
anyone ever ask a game use authenticator how they come up with their conclusion that they are authentic.Regards,

Re: Lampson Is Still On His A Game!!!
lou came to mind when i read this story:
http://ac360.blogs.cnn.com/2009/07/3...ison-for-life/
substitute preston for any of the auction houses that employ 'ol lou and "harass 2" for lou himself. even the part about "urinating on evidence" seems to fit in a metaphorical sense.
