[mbenga28]

if these are in fact blanks turned star players, I'm curious to know where these jerseys were customized and if it was in the same stitching establishment that provides services for actual Yankees game jersey numerals.

All his Jerseys are Super Star Jerseys. I just looked at his sale history check this out.


In a 2 month span has sold

2 Hideki Matsui Game Issued Jerseys
1 Derek Jeter
1 Jim Thome
1 Mariano Rivera
1 Mark Teixiera
1 David Wright

I would admit something seems a bit odd here. If he has nothing but brand name stars game issued Jerseys and doesn't have any LOA'S for them.

does it really make any difference if the jersey is a legit game issued or custom star made from a blank, both were never worn by the player anyway?

[suave1477]

Mbenga of course it makes a difference.

First of all one Jersey was specifically made for the intent of a specific player to wear it.

A Blank Jersey is just an average size / cut jersey that down the road is needed by the team in case any Joe Schmoe joins / gets called up.

Second of all the Jersey titles / description is misleading because to the buyer he is thinking he is buying the Jersey that was pre made by the manufacturer and intended for Jeter / Wright / Rodriguez to wear. Not some Jersey you made up in your own basement.

Yes it does. A GI jersey is made specifically for the player. For collectors who cannot afford a GU jersey of a player it is the next best thing. Sometimes it is hard to find a particular player's GU jersey so it is a collector's only alternative.

This is also referenced in the post about Jeter game jersey prices. It is suspect in my opinion.
