Re: grey flannel Larry Bird Indiana State jersey
Wow, that wording sounds like something from my auctions. I do not know if Grey Flannel makes such offers, if you were not blacklisted by them for whatever reason you brought up you could ask them if they will guarantee such. (See, normal smiley fact since you know what all 40,000 faces mean)

Re: grey flannel Larry Bird Indiana State jersey
Yea, I realize that shorts would probably be reused in college, that isn't the problem. The big size-40-is. I've had 3 game used pair of shorts of Birdie (Celtic shorts) all size 36 waist. I've seen a couple 34's. The other problem is, is that if the shorts are being reused year after year, then you would assume the writing would be faded-at least kindof faded. That pair looks recently marked. Those shorts are almost 30 years old! Just my 2 cents since I do collect a lot of Bird game used stuff. I also emailed another Bird expert (collector) and he verified that Birds shorts size were generally size 36. As for the jersey, I haven't had the time to research it.

Re: grey flannel Larry Bird Indiana State jersey
I would hate to be the person spending $8,000+ on these items that may be fake.

Re: grey flannel Larry Bird Indiana State jersey
I wonder if Grey Flannel references their own past auctions?

Re: grey flannel Larry Bird Indiana State jersey
Man, I would love to have the 1989-90 Larry Bird jersey/shorts that sold two years ago. If anybody knows who has it, let me know. I never said their Indiana State stuff was fake. But, I would definately research it A LOT before spending 10K+, if I was gonna bid on them.

Re: grey flannel Larry Bird Indiana State jersey
I actually picked this one up...it's pretty nice...i shows nice even wear...I've found what I believe to be a photo match, but have not invested a lot of time into it yet with videos...I'll get around to it someday
I was a huge Magic, Bird, and Jordan fan growing up....it was the one of the best Bird's I had seen for in a while, and I'm pretty happy with it..still looking for Magic

Re: grey flannel Larry Bird Indiana State jersey
I looked at the 33 written in the Celtics Bird trunks that I have, and it's defintely washed out/faded out a bit...but when you look at the pictures from the auction 2 years ago when I got it, it appears to be much darker in the picture than in person...I wonder if this maybe the case with the Indiana trunks in the current auction as well?....the writing in the Indiana trunks does seem pretty dark though...
I think I read somewhere here before that equipment managers use a washable laundrey marker, and not a Sharpie when writing on uniforms...is this true?
And if so, can anyone tell the difference by looking at pictures whether a Sharpie or laundrey marker was used?...
