Re: Red Sox Experts Manny Ramirez 2004 away jersey
Well this is always a tough thing to get into. Manny stuff is some of the most wodely available and can be one of the most widely questionable as well.
The big issue in 2004 was the massive, home made-looking tag that you see on his jersey's. From what I have found out, Manny ordered 100's of jersey fro 2003, 2004 and 2005 and would either wear one for every hal-inning, BP session, jog around the park and when he just sat around the house and call them "gamers".
Now that being said, there are a lot of very good examples that are totally legit.
I think as long as it doesn't have the MR24 holo and authenticity (that was through his website charity that no longer exists, and through ASI at the time) you have dodged a bullet there.
Its always tough, I have been burned before with Manny and never felt I could get a 100% auth piece of his (only cause I could never get a photomatch of the items I had).
So to sum up, try to photomatch it, it takes time but it is more than likely the ONLY way to ever get 100% certainty that you have a legit Manny "gamer"...
Good luck, if you do find the photo match, I congratulate you as it would then become a centerpiece in your collection...

Well for what I paid if he did wear it even for a half an inning I stepped in shit lol. Either way I am happy onto the photomatching skills should be fun..Either way I am very pleased no holograms of any sort. What is the home made tagging??

I don't think I would have even bid if the tag looked like that.Is that his homemade tag???

I've heard before about Manny's homemade tags.
I always wanted to know though...
WHAT THE HECK WAS HIS PURPOSE OF TAKING THE TIME TO MAKE A NEW TAG???kylehess941@hotmail.com

Re: Red Sox Experts Manny Ramirez 2004 away jersey
Great pics and thanks for putting them up.
Yes those are the "home made" tags that everyone talks about...
It doesn't make much sense to anyone why it was done, I guess just to put out as many "gamers" as possible...but when you make $27 million a year, why do it?
I guess you can ask Arod too...

dcrules01 you've been on this forum since the start. I would have guessed you've seen Manny's crazy tagged jerseys with dirt stains on the tags. Do a search and you'll find all kinds of stuff on these jerseys.
