Griffey Jr Jersey

Re: Griffey Jr Jersey

I can't read anything posted by djnos7 since he is on my ignore list and I don't understand why David Archibald is being allowed to post through another user's Game Used Universe ID but since he is now just out to personally attack me since I had concerns about inscriptions on items he previously owned so I am done with this thread.

I do appreciate your posts Lokee, but I will no longer read this thread. I will not post anything more that David Archibald is involved with. I previously proved that he is posting with djnos7's account and I cannot play these immature games that the moderators took zero action over in the past.

I see a slant in the picture posted by Lokee, I am not sure what the difference is. They are pretty close thus proving my theory. I will no longer read this thread since David Archibald's using someone else's account to post and I will not play the games of any personal attacks.

If anyone wishes to further contact me about this jersey (except for djnos7 and David Archibald since I have blocked their emails) please email me at the email address below but I am not playing these silly, immature games when my jersey is properly tagged, has a slant similar to the picture posted by Lokee and came from a honest source originating from within the Reds origination.

Re: Griffey Jr Jersey

Well I do not know the history (and don't care to) between the people you mentioned. I was simply voicing my concerns over your Griffey jersey.

I am still concerned over you passing off clearly questionable item(s) as game used. Especially from a person (like yourself) who is quick to call other people on "questionable" items. I have no problem with you as a person just a problem with your ethics.

Re: Griffey Jr Jersey

I am done with this post. This was not intended for certain individuals to come out and bash Joel. We where having a civil discussion about a questionable item. Trying to make some sense of the jersey.

Re: Griffey Jr Jersey

Lokee, despite what Joel believes, my main objective is to find the truth about this questionable Griffey piece, seeing as i am a big Junior collector and own 3 jersey's and his family trio of bats. I agree, that just because one says it came from a reliable source, doesn't mean much, like everything else in the past the, you have to do your leg work, which JA fails to do every time! And once again i'm not da, so let it go already, i have 0 affiliation with that person and i stand by my words!

Re: Griffey Jr Jersey

Lokee and I have been discussing this topic via email now that two brothers with David Archibald have attacked a once mature thread. I have no clue what they are posting as I have blocked all their posts but I do find it funny that a 30 year old adult can be so immature.

A wise man once told me when someone questions someone over something and instead of discussing the situation that he person attacks the questioner's credibility - The person is showing their guilt.

If anyone else other than the two brothers and a stranger has anything to add to this discussion, please privately email me at the email address below as I am not going to play these games with these people.

Re: Griffey Jr Jersey

Want to thank you everyone who has emailed me about this jersey including Joel. He has been nothing but open and cooperative on this whole situation and is having the jersey reviewed right now.

While it is still posted, I think some of the concerns should be shared as it is still on ebay.

- First off, it is not a 2001 jersey. The year was listed in 2001 on property tags, but for some reason for a majority of the year of 2002 the year was left off. The pictures that look to be close to matching are from 2001.

- As others have mentioned the arch of the name seems to be extreme. Look at Griffey's road jersey photos and the name is not arched nearly to that extreme. Could this vary from jersey to jersey, yes. But it is a little questionable.

- The fraying on the back lettering and numbers with loose strings is something that does not look normal and has been pointed out by many Reds collectors. Jerseys that are worn throughout a season do not show those drastic threads. It almost looks like somebody took a brush to it, to make them loose. Also if it was worn that often to have threads and letters coming apart on the back, the property tag on the front would be much more faded and washed away. The use does not seem to match up.

-The final and most confusing part of the jersey is the property tag stitching. This has drawn many red flags from others and I would be curious to see photos of the inside of the jersey and the sewing of the tag. It almost looks rounded, something I have never seen on any Reds jerseys.

Once again, Joel is having the jersey reviewed and states that it comes from a great source. He says he will do what is best with the jersey once the research is found and I am sure it will all work out. I just wanted to share what numerous Reds collectors have shared with me as well as looking at countless Reds jerseys.

Re: Griffey Jr Jersey

Jersey has been pulled from eBay and more homework will be conducted. Thanks to everyone who emailed me privately and all I can do is try to work with everyone to educate myself and to keep the industry standards up to what we all expect.
