Re: Red Flags!
Just wondering, how do you know they are all not genuine and that there is only one real one on the market? I know Barry and Steve had arguments in the press, but I was always under the impression Steve was close to Barry and that Barry stabbed Steve in the back years down the road.

Re: Red Flags!
Check out the tagging on the Bonds Jerseys. There are a few things.
1.) None of the 2001 Bonds Jersey home/road/alternate that were ever sold by Steve had the extra length flag tags. Like in the Espn the magazine or getty photo I have. Every photo with Bonds 2001 Jerseys untucked show 3 extra flag tags.
2.) Most of the 2000's are legit, the 2001 are not.
3.) In the photo if you look at the Bonds authenticated patch it doesn't say 2001. The ones that Steve sold had a Bonds authenticated patch that said 2001. You will never see Barry wearing this type of patch.
4.) On the Jerseys that Steve sold the Bonds authenticated patch was ironed on. The gamers were actually stiched on in 2001 (like the one that recently sold on ebay.
5.) The Jersey that was sold on ebay came directly from Barry's locker not through Steve.
6.) Barry claims that Steve's Jerseys were imitations, that Steve had him sign.
7.) I had personally seen Barry's locker in 2001 and saw the correct tagging. I had never seen the other tagging that claimed to be game used.
I'm not here to burst anybody's bubble but until anyone can prove otherwise. No doubt a lot of what Steve sold was legit bats, cleats, etc.. The only Jersey I can say for certain was a gamer is that one that was on ebay.
The number of these Jerseys that are on the market are ridiculous. Below are a few examples.
real game used 2001 jersey and photo's of similar tagging
Here are the fakes: see the 2001 stiched on the authenticated tag. No extra flag tag. You won't see any photo's of Barry wearing this style of patch.
