Personally Ive had nothing but positive things to say about Kruk cards, having dealt with them numerous times. The jersey looks legitimate..Id ask how he obtained it..hes also a member on here I believe.

I can't comment on the jersey, but the seller is reputable.

Krukcards is a reputable dealer but as with any dealer, I can tell you you should do your homework. They have made some mistakes in the past on some jerseys including a Lance Johnson Indians jersey that is still bouncing around ebay. While they have corrected these mistakes, their main focus has not been jerseys.

I have followed this jersey and have some questions. My Choo jerseys (both MLB authenticated) are size 50, not 48. Tagging, etc. looks appropriate for an Indians jersey from that time. My only caution would be there were several blanks that made their way to market post 2005.
Good luck!!

I have bought from Kruk in the past with no issues. GU stuff isn't their money maker but they can flip it for profit so they sell the stuff. As with anything GU from them though, since it's not their area of expertise, check it out and make sure you're comfortable with it.

I have bought from them a number of times and haven't ever had any issues since I checked everything out before bidding.

As for the Choo jersey, I don't know what he wore starting in Cleveland but with the M's he wore a 48, I still have one left from 2006 that is MLB Authenticated and came direct from the team.

add me to the club of people who have dealt with Kruk cards in the past, Great deal and was great to work with. Shipped out my items really fast as well.

Looks like somebody liked the jersey as it sold.

Well, I was the one who went ahead and purchaced it. Seemed like a good deal (hopefully it's not too good to be true?) and I didn't want to risk someone else snagging it. Figured Kruk cards is a reputable dealer and offer a good return policy so if I dig up some bad news about it, more than likeley they'll be willing to work with me.

I did some research, couldn't find any pics, but did see that Choo only played in 2 road games that year and only started one of them, so I'm expecting very light use.

I looked on gettyimages and found nothing, can anyone offer some advice on where else to look for pictures from that series??? 4/23-24 2007 vs twins

Kruk Cards has been around for years. I bought a baseball card set from them probably ten years ago.

Ive also bought from Kruks cards and have always been very happy with the items I get. Most are MLB tagged as Game Issued but he does have a bunch of game used jerseys.

Thesofasurfer on ebay buys blank game jerseys and stitches the name and numbers on them. If you buy a normal authentic from him make sure you ask to see the wash tag to see if its been worn. I traded him some jerseys for jerseys and a Mauer jersey he sent me had been worn ans wash so many times the wash tag was almost blank.
