I found another "micro-match" which I'll post and send.-Robert

Here are a couple more. This jersey isn't a tough photo match with that close up picture of his back. I don't think there is any question of it's authenticity outside of the Mets trying to muddy the water and potentially drive the price down to encourage the jersey to come back to them one way or another.

You are even able to match the pattern on the letters such as the "I" being a downward point, and really even count the number and placement of the chevrons up and down the letters. I would be willing to bet this is all unique as to where the letters were cut from on the material.

Re: Piazza comments on September 11th jersey

I hope I didn't undermine how good Robert's matches were by saying it wasn't a tough match, I was more surprised by the Mets inability to credit the jersey as what it is. Robert's work is really well done.

Re: Piazza comments on September 11th jersey

Russell, you're correct; it wasn't that difficult. And three heads are better than one. In fairness to others not as obsessed as we are- we did sort of pull out the microscopes. Your view that the blue chevron pattern (on the nameplate) is correct, and it's unique to every cutting. Like a fingerprint. But you need good photos on both ends to see. Just seeing patches on standard locations shouldn't make collectors comfortable, because it could be duplicated moments later on the same machine. Just saying it matches doesn't do it for me. But our observations were unique to the markings on the jersey. Seeing is believing.
For what's being asked of this jersey, things should be understood to be airtight. Now it's more certain.

By the way,what's our percentage if the jersey moves up 33% (or higher)more than the bid before we posted?
