Fake Keith Hernandez for sale again on Jo Sports Website!!

[Metsfan808]

This jersey was offered for sale a while back ago and Jo Sports took it down after it was pointed out to him that it was fake. I guess he "forgot" that it is not a game used jersey and has put it back up for sale.

Link to the current sale:

It's getting REALLY hard to give any sort of defense for JO's actions. I've bought a few things and have NEVER had a problem, but my God. It's like the kid who gets caught stealing that says he'll never do it again, and 6 months later he's back at it. Fraud is fraud.

lack of character in managing a business doesn't frequently change.

Would it surprise anyone that the Bengals business folks re-upped with JO Sports?

They put that its not game worn per game used universe. So was the title different before you brought this up?

They revised the title. When I posted this it was listed as a game worn jersey.

The letters and numbers are completely off for a 1985 Mets jersey. The letters and numbers should look like this 1985 jerseys used the same exact fonts as the 1986 jerseys:

It appaers they are being facetious with their description in response to this thread, no?

This is a 1985 Autographed Keith Hernandez game worn road grey New York Mets jersey but NOT GAME WORN per Game Used Universe. Jersey was purchased from the Chuck Daly Celebrity Sports Auction for Special Olympics Saturday, August 17th 1991 as GAME WORN.

We are selling it as NOT GAME WORN.
We have tried to contact The Chuck Daly Celebrity Sports Auction to relay the message this jersey is not game worn per GUU forum NH and to let them know that fraud is fraud.

Jersey accompanied with LOI Game Used Universe

No, it is not mine. It was a Hernandez jersey sold on eBay a while back ago for $700 with some authenticity issues of it's own. Here is the thread from here discussing the jersey.

it was later sold through Grey Flannel for $1420:

The jersey has issues but the fonts are correct which is why I used the pictures.
