Ray Lewis, NFL Auctions Question
There is a Ray Lewis Authentic Jersey up for auction right now, see link below:
http://www.nflauction.nfl.com/cgi-bi...unbr=194102231
Auction states it is a "46" but listing shows 09-48...does NFL Auctions use stock photos when selling items and that isn't really the jersey you will receive? With this tagging, doesn't it seem this would be a game issued jersey as opposed to a straight authentic?
I don't normally buy NFL stuff so I apologize if this is a stupid question, this would be for a gift...Thanks in advance for any responses.WANTED, CNT Team USA Jerseys:
2000, Kirk Saarloos
2002, Chad Cordero/Shane Costa/Wes Littleton
2004, Ricky Romero
2005, Blake Davis
2006, Wes Roemer
2008, Christian Colon/Josh Fellhauer/Jared Clark
2009, Christian Colon
2010, Noe Ramirez/Nick Ramirez

Re: Ray Lewis, NFL Auctions Question
My Concern Is That It's Missing The "r" On The Nameplate.
Every One They Sell Is Like That. Not Worth The 550 Its At
If Its Not 100% Exact. Imo

I have bought alot of NFL Auctions stuff, the pictured item is normally what you get. They make errors all the time.

Re: Ray Lewis, NFL Auctions Question
Ok am I missing something on this one????
People are wondering if it is game issued or authentic?
Unless the description states game issued or used I would take it for face value and say its probably Authentic if thats what there saying it is.
If for some weird reason NFL Auctions made a mistake are calling it Authentic when it is really Issued. Buy into it as an Authentic with the upside that it could be Issued.
My next question is, is a Ray Lewis Autographed Jersey really were that much??

Re: Ray Lewis, NFL Auctions Question
Ok I got the perfect explanation for this Jersey.
Maybe this was made for Ray but since it was a blunder on the manufacturers behalf of by accident making the Jersey with out the "R". Lewis didnt want to wear it. So now the NFL gets this left over Jersey and knwoing they cant sell it as Game Issued because no one would believe that this Jersey was issued to Ray Lewis knowing it didnt have the R on it they decided to sell it as an Authentic and of course knowing it is still missing the R which would lessen the value of it selling, they asked Ray to Autograph it to help boost its sales.
Just a theory!!

Re: Ray Lewis, NFL Auctions Question
I have no input into the missing "R", but as far as the authentic vs. game issued, I have bought a few of these jerseys from NFL Auctions and I think the jerseys are actually somewhere in between. These are game jerseys that have all the proper tagging but haven't been tailored for the specific player yet. Specifically, they have the year tagging and the made in Berlin, WI tags, but they haven't been hemmed and/or cut to the player's exact specs yet. Therefore, they are absolutely beyond retail "authentic" jerseys but not technically "game issued." I assume they are all signed at the Ravens' facility and they have plenty of jerseys sitting around ready to go.
