Does this look real?
This jersey was acquired from Steiner Sports. It came with a Steiner COA but not a hologram on the jersey (you can see where it had been attached). When I contact Steiner, they said they do not replace holograms and occasionally one will fall off. I sold it last week with the Steiner COA to help my son with some unexpected expenses. The buyer claims it is not real. I own over 20 Dallas Cowboys jerseys and it really looks good to me -- am I missing something? It shows moderate use with customized sleeves. It may have been laundered but stains are still present especially on the numbers. The Cowboys wore blue jerseys in 2 games in 2009 and this is from a game against the Bucs. The other game was against the Redskins.

Re: Does this look real?
What's the buyers basis for the opinion that the jersey isn't real?

Re: Does this look real?
I was going to bid and missed out. If need to take back I may buy since it shows good use...

Re: Does this look real?
But I have also run into several ebay buyers lately that after purchase claim something amiss and ask for a partial refund. My guess is they look to resell and try to get seller to give something back rather than deal with a full refund...

Re: Does this look real?
His opinion is that because the hologram was no longer on the jersey, it is not real. In his words " I would need it to prove it's Steiner". It was obtained directly from Steiner with a missing hologram.
I offered to take it back -- I photomatched it last night which made me feel sick that I even offered it for sale on eBay. Sometimes things have a way of working out!
I think people are more cautious now about game used items. Sometimes (and I have done it) you can be so cautious that you pass up a really good piece of memorabilia.

Yes, you are right. If I decide to re-list it, I will mention that. Thank you.
