Do you guys think this Merriman is ok?

No. The Merriman picture you posted has him wearing a mesh jersey. The jersey in the auction is of a different fabric. I know Reebok dabbled in stretch mesh during this era.

You can easily tell the difference between the 2.

Here's some photos of what looks to me to be the stretch mesh, can you tell 100% though

Supposed to say can't tell 100% though

I couldnt tell because I thought it was maybe the way the seller took the picture.

This VJ looks good right?

I was the original purchaser of the Vincent Jackson jersey from J.O. Sports in 2009 and it's legit.

The 50th Anniversary patch on the Merriman is easily noticed as being way off. I didn't look much more beyond that.

Thanks for all your help guys.

Does anybody have any thoughts on these game used helmets from the same seller?

From what I can tell, the back of the helmet is totally wrong. The bolt on the right Is no where near the 9 like the way it's on the helmet in the listing. Imo

I sent the seller a link to this GUU discussion. He then decided to pull it. The seller responded by saying:

"thanks for the info. auction ending. my buddy is going to be a sad camper. he got burnt. mel."

Sounds like a friend of his had purchased it. I'm sure this is not the last we will see of this Rivers Jersey. Lets keep a look out for it to save someone else some heartache.

The Rivers jersey has resurfaced and is now being offered as "Game Issued." Seller says "Our belief is that someone tried to dirty it up and pass it off as used so we had it professionally cleaned and are listing it as issued." Funny he says it's our belief, when they absolutely know for a fact Jersey was dirtied. This is not even a team issued Jersey as the sleeves and a Jersey size are not correct and was never made for Rivers as "Game Issued" would imply.

What a shame.

But for $99 thats a good deal.

The fake Rivers jersey that just won't go away. At least the "blood" stain has now been washed out and the seller has added a signature: http://www.ebay.com/itm/371480492325...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT.
