LT GU Jets Jersey on Ebay

I know that this signature has a PSA Cert, but does this "Game Used" signature look funny to anyone? They don't look like they came from the same hand?

Is anyone familiar with LTs hand writing? Does this look familiar?

Any thoughts on the Jersey length? Does that look right for LT?

i saw this and thought it looked funny too. Not sure how he writes.Also seems kind of cheap.

I don't know anything about this item, but it is possible the inscriptions were added at a later time to when the jersey was signed.

Re: LT GU Jets Jersey on Ebay

I believe JO got every LT Jets jersey from last year. So how did this one slip loose? Also why no evidence of use other than a "slight tear"? A tear could come from anything so thats really not even evidence of use. The signature looks good but I agree that the inscriptions don't seem to match it. Please note on the letter that PSA describes the item as a signed jersey no mention of game use.

I contacted the seller of this jersey a few weeks ago when it was posted...he didn't answer any of my questions, and said he would "get back to me". Needless to say, I have never seen an LT jersey from the Jets that wasn't hemmed above the tag line, with an elastic waist. I also have never seen an LT jersey from the Jets tagged with year "09" in the neck. All of the LT jerseys that I have seen from Jets are tagged "10". I highly doubt they would give a player like LT a leftover from the previous year? I would think an LT jersey would require too many customizations to use a leftover. Given the sellers reluctancy to return my emails, I have a feeling this could be a 2009 Dwight Lowery game cut jersey, with a new nameplate. Like legaleagle said, the autograph could be authentic, but the LOA/COA mentions nothing about the jersey having any "game use".

PSA/DNA doesn't certify game used, do they?

Re: LT GU Jets Jersey on Ebay

PSA says nothing about Game Use, but they oddly certify that the words game used 2010 are LT's writing which seems really odd?

The additional writing of "game used" seems to be added slowly and deliberatly? I also questioned the lack of custom tail and the length........

PSADNA does certify game use....but they didnt on this one.

I would double check this statement. I know PSA/DNA works with NFL Auctions, but they do not certify game used otherwise and this item didn't come from NFL Auctions.

I have been present for many athletes signing an item and watching them write an inscription and it takes a long time as they are confused. Most players we give a small piece of paper with the inscription written on the paper and the athlete has to look back at the item and the paper many times before completing the inscription.

I have no clue if this jersey is authentic game used, but I can tell you attempting to use the argument that LT didn't write the inscription is the wrong angle because no one can prove this because they don't like the way it looks.

Find other examples of LT's inscriptions not being similar and you may have a point but blind speculation because people don't like how the inscription looks without comparing it to other examples is not really fair.

I know nothing about the jersey, just inquiring about the price. Why so expensive, or is a jersey of this guy worth anywhere near that price?

If it was a real LT game used jersey? Yeah prob. I mean high market (NY) and a great player. Def worth around the 5-6 grand for one.

Jhunt I agree i looked on JO site and the only one they had listed had the 10 tag in it and not the 09 like you pointed out.

Re: LT GU Jets Jersey on Ebay

JO has them for sale pre ordered for 2011 for 12K + each. I believe that they were 7.5 K last year.

I can't tell you how PSADNA is involved in the authentication of these items, but I certainly have my share of Jerseys, Bats and Helmets that were authenticated as GU by psadna.

Thanks for your help on this one.....the inscription, the tail length and the year tag leaves me a little suspicious?
