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??

At least you didn't get a jersey with the awful looking year tag. I have seen a couple of those here is an example

Here is a sample of the tagging on the 2003 jerseys ordered from his website.

Re: Red Sox Experts Manny Ramirez 2004 away jersey

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

Re: Red Sox Experts Manny Ramirez 2004 away jersey

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???

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.

Re: Red Sox Experts Manny Ramirez 2004 away jersey

Did that did not see much about the Russell jerseys unless I missed. A lot about the Majestic jerseys...

Scott,

Is this the same jersey that sold on ebay for a BIN of $55?

If it is the same jersey, game used or game issued you scored for that price.

Yes that is the one

Re: Red Sox Experts Manny Ramirez 2004 away jersey

The only thing that concerns me from the Ebay standpoint is that the seller only has 3 feedback reviews and I really don;t like his description when he states "The jersey was actually worn by manny ramirez in the 2004 baseball season." That's just me though and something doesn't seem right if the jersey sold for that low. But, if this jersey was indeed used or issued, then I guess $55 would be considered a bargain .

Re: Red Sox Experts Manny Ramirez 2004 away jersey

wonder why such a cheap buy it now? You can't even get a cheap knockoff hardly for that price. The jersey looks good as far as I can see. Nice Find!
