Re: Tomlinson GU Throwback - Ebay
I originally bought the 2003, 2005 and 2006 from the NFL. They all had a PSA-DNA sticker in the neck. I did not bid on the 2004. This seller says it may have been used in 2005. WRONG. As easy as all 3 I bought were to photo match why does he have the 2005 pictures and the AMI ad, which was my jersey that was sold?
Attached are photos of the 2004 game vs the Jaguars. Also the collar tag on my 2006 which is like all the Charger jerseys that I have bought that were sold by the NFL.
I have killed a couple of manufactured jerseys in auctions by proving that I owned the one they were auctioning. The last auction company I contacted told me that they were not saying which game the jersey was used in so me owning one proved nothing. My response was, " they only wore them in one game per year". They said "OH, we will check with Lou and get back to you". They did pull it. I could pick out the made up jerseys easily by the shoulder area and the tail. We probably have educated them enough here on the real ones that they have done a good job here. You cannot duplicate the ownership history.
At this point I am not saying it is not the 2004 jersey. If you could get pictures of the stitching on the tail and inner shoulders it would help. I cannot imagine a dealer not saving the proof that it came from the NFL and leaving the PSA/DNA sticker on it.

I have the 2003 and 2005 throwbacks in my collection
Both have psa dna stickers from the nfl. It's nice that these things go from Roger's collection to mine. Thanks!

Re: Tomlinson GU Throwback - Ebay
Does anyone know who bought the 2004 jersey?

Re: Tomlinson GU Throwback - Ebay
Roger,
I agree, that if it came from the NFL Auctions, it should have some sort of documentation reflecting that...the seller informed me that the jersey only has a "letter" from the dealer he accquired it from...I have requested a copy of that letter to see who wrote it...Comment

Re: Tomlinson GU Throwback - Ebay
At one point I remember seeing a card with what I thought was a throwback jersey swatch. I called AMI and ask if they had sold my 2003 jersey to a card company to cut up. I had the 05 then. Victor said he did not remember. He called me back and said no it was sold to a individual, who I now know was Eric. Has anyone ever see a game used 2004 Tomlinson card? I did a quick search on Ebay with no results.
Another thought, the 2003 was a size 50. The 2005 & 06 are 48. Can anyone confirm the 2004 size?
Attached is the name plate on the 2006.

One more thing, the back numbers are closer together than all the real ones we have knowledge of. A reveiw of non throwbacks seem to be farther apart also. AND, this is still the best looking NFL jersey ever.

Re: Tomlinson GU Throwback - Ebay
Attached are a couple of Getty photo of the back nameplate and numbers. They are both from the 2004 season. Placement seems to be fairly consistant.

Re: Tomlinson GU Throwback - Ebay
So to recap, not saying it's not the real thing, but here's what we know
it's a 2004 tomlinson throwback jersey with no psa/dna sticker and no nfl auction provenance
The seller doesn't remember who he bought it from.
His buy it now price is less than the price that tomlinson jerseys go for
It reads 2004 on the label, but the seller says it might have been used in 2005Always looking for game used San Diego Chargers items...Comment

Re: Tomlinson GU Throwback - Ebay
The seller sent me pics of the year/size tag. The stitching is in white. The two tomlinson throwbacks that I have (from 2003, 2005) and 2 2004s of other players have blue stitching.

Re: Tomlinson GU Throwback - Ebay
I wonder if he did indeed sell it or just pulled it. Seems like some red flags. Did he say if it showed any use? Fishy that he has pictures in the auction listing that aren't of the LT he is selling. How would you not remember who you bought it from. There has got to be some pictures or the game video out there with LT in this jersey somewhere. Would be nice to see the back and how the nameplate sits in a game photo. Really good work in this thread. How can you not like seeing Eric and Roger's LT throwbacks, those are some sweet jerseys in the hobby. Is the only LT throwback gamer not accounted for between you 2 from 2004?Comment
