2005 SHAUN ALEXANDER Game Used Seahawks Road Jersey PSI
Has anyone had any contact with eBay seller: prosportsinvestments in the past two days? Monday morning around 6:30AM Central I sent them the following email through the eBay system:

Item: 2005 SHAUN ALEXANDER Game Used Seahawks Road Jersey PSI (8830690466) This message was sent while the listing was active.trsent is a potential buyer.
I am always looking for Seahawks jerseys as I have a customer who collects them exclusively. I was interested in the Shawn Alexander jersey you were offering, but it appears that the letters A do not match with any game used jerseys from that season.
I had this issue with previous Seahawks jerseys where I was offered game used jerseys with the same font used in the letter A (Mainly from a Matt Hasslebeck), but I searched every game photo from every player and I couldn't find anyone who ever had the letter A type-set as such in any photographs.
Could you please explain if there is something I am missing that makes your jersey special that maybe I missed?
Thanks!
Joel

Monday night around 7:00PM Central I sent the same message to the email address listed in the listing. I then sent the message through the eBay system again Tuesday night just prior to 6:00PM. I am sorry if the seller is not available, but I have given them over two days to respond.
Here are the two photos from the auction of the font in the letter "A" that I have in question:
Now, here are three photos from games in 2005 of Shaun Alexander in a white road jersey and notice the different font in the letters "A" in the name "Alexander" on the back of the jersey:
I do not know if the jersey being offered is genuine, and I have asked the sellers and now I also ask the members of this community, can anyone help me find what I am looking for to style-match this jersey? I have returned a Matt Hasslebeck jersey already over this same issue. I have looked at other player's home and road jerseys from the 2005 season, and I never could find one player who had this style of font used for the letter "A" on the name-plate on the back of the jersey.
Any help would be appreciated.

Joel,
If you go to WWW.gameexclusives.com, they have a authentic Shaun jersey for sale.

Adam, thanks, here is their photo of a 2005 Shaun Alexander White Road Jersey:
Notice the letter "A" matches the game photos I have shown. I just wonder if maybe there was a game photo that I cannot find of Alexander or a teammate that has a font that matches the jersey listed on eBay.

Re: 2005 SHAUN ALEXANDER Game Used Seahawks Road Jersey PSI
I received a reply from PSI today:
"HI
THE JERSEY SHOWS GREAT GAME USE AND WE ACQUIRED IT DIRECTLY. I HAVE NOT HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO RESEARCH WHAT STYLE FONTS WERE USED FOR EACH LETTER ON THE NAMES. I WILL CHECK WITH THE TEAM TO FIND OUT IF THEY USED ANY OTHER "
I emailed them asking for what they find. I made it clear, I would like to find a style match of that lettering from 2005, but I personally have investigated this myself for hours with no luck. I hope they find something positive out because I am interested in this jersey, but also it would be a shame if this jersey sold and it couldn't even be style matched in a photograph. There are photos available from every game in 2005!

Re: 2005 SHAUN ALEXANDER Game Used Seahawks Road Jersey PSI
It would seem to me that with all of the questions that were pointed out to the seller by Joel and the fact that Joel had reviewed countless hours of film, pictures, video etc. and could not find one example of this font style that the seller should have pulled the jersey from the auction prior to close until valid photgraphic evidence could be provided to match this jersey as being authentic.
Joel is right, it appears that the seller is standing by his souce implicitly however there is sufficient doubt that this jersey is what it is listed as and as the seller I would be very concerned moving forward with an auction if so much doubt existed about the authenticity of this jersey.

Re: 2005 SHAUN ALEXANDER Game Used Seahawks Road Jersey PSI
Looks like all of Bernie's Historic Auction jerseys made their way to Ebay.
http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZprosportsinvestments
All of a sudden the Peyton Mannings that were deemed not game used on this board at now listed as "un-used"
It seems like he gets every jersey in the NFL. What really bothers me is that this guy still clears about $10K a month selling fake stuff. When will people learn?
