Emann, I'm going to have to disagree, respectfully

This man stole money from me. He sold a jersey, never mailed it, was shown it wasn't real with undeniable proof and disappeared.

RMoody showed him another jersey with an issue. Furnished proof. No reply.

He's been banned from this forum.

I have no doubt some of the jerseys he sold are real. Lou Lampson has sold real items, so has JO Sports. There are real Custom Crafted hockey game worn jerseys and the guys from Project Bullpen have some genuine items as well.

His dishonesty and thievery during my transaction with him has no bearing on any the validity of other jerseys he sold but this hobby depends on reputation and he belongs in the slop with Lou and Jason.

Rmoody,

When Gary Baxter signed with the browns his orginal number was 23. Seriously, ive been reading your posts for years. You dont think a player has never changed a number? Just because he didnt wear it on the field for a game doesnt mean the club didnt make a jersey. When he signed he was number 23 before he changed. I honestly dont care enough to figure out the exact date but here is a picture of him wearing # 23 in training camp. Your jersey was probably made for a preseason game or press conference. The browns also wear game jerseys for public events but the sizes are normally larger than what they wear on the field.

The point of my post was to let you guys know in my opinion you all bought "picked over" jerseys from a seller who doesnt know what the difference is between game used, game issued, game authentic. But a 100% certainty the jersey came from the cleveland browns locker room. They are not fakes.

They were certainly mis-labeled... But my point is the common person who doesnt follow this website or other similar to this one doesnt know what the hell the differece is between game worn vs game issued.

You guys are both seasoned game used collectors. We all need to do our homework. Turns out this seller had real jerseys from the Browns. He just doesnt know anything about selling game worn jerseys.

It sucks he turned out to be a shady business man. I'm not defending his actions. I'm sharing my opinion that the jerseys were legit.

Did you not read my orginal post? I even stated Gary absolutely practiced in #23 five months ago. That photo you show isn't even a game style jersey, so what your photo was meant to prove, I'll never understand.

You seem to want to overlook he was selling this as a game used jersey but are continuing to act strangely personally obligated to speak to the orginins of them.

I don't care if you want to defend it as a press conference or publicity jersey, because that's not what he was selling an that's the problem. When I mentioned issued, he pressed game used and lowered the price.

So lets actually go over what happened and take a look at what this jersey actually would represent, which would be very historic peice of NFL lore.

Gary spent three years with the Browns, in 2005 and 2006 where he wore #24. In 2006 he tore both he's patella tendons in what was a freak injury. Gary himself said they never tore, just pulled from the bone. He is one of thee players, I know of, to ever have this injury. Wendell Davis and Greg Child's are the others, none of which has ever came back to play in an NFL game, only practice or camp.

As for Gary, in late July 2007 he returned to practice, but with no contact or 1 on 1 drills. Gary never suited for any preseason or regular season games and was placed on IR late October.

So this jersey represents a modern medical miricle, a player that was told he would never walk again, then spent months in a wheelchair......back to NFL caliber play.


Let's forget he never suited up for a game that year, in that number or with that team.....YOU know it's a legit jersey. After all, the Browns had a press conferance the day they cut him, and made that jersey just so he hold it up? Or wait, did he sign autographs at the Cleveland Clinic at a fan day wearing it? Perhaps he wore it hidden in the locker room during a pre season away game?


This place is meant to help people and collectors, it's why I joined. Plenty of stuff I'll never know that I learned here, much more still left to go. I've found out stuff I had was fake, people I bought from had issues.....but what we shouldn't ever allow is to harbor a continued misleading of items. While it may not be your intent, it's how I perceive it. I can't see anything that was to be gained by brining this back up, so again......it's odd you elected to.
