Re: Tomlinson GU Throwback - Ebay
It appears that the 2003-04 jerseys had no NFL shield on the collars and the 2005-06 did.

Re: Tomlinson GU Throwback - Ebay
Something is not adding up with this seller....I asked several times for a copy of who wrote the COA and he never responded after this initial email...
"I just have a letter from a dealer. I was going to consign to mears, but thought I would try ebay first. Sorry, not interested in trades. I am looking to sell. Let me know if you would like to make an offer. Patrick"
Moreover, he told Eric and I different stories of where he got it and if it did originate from NFL auctions, why would their be no supporting documentation? Eric, nice catch on the neck swatch stitching...also the name plate stitching that appears above the neck swatch appears to be different as well. Eric, I notice that your jersey is tage "04-58"...is that a typo?Comment

Re: Tomlinson GU Throwback - Ebay
12 feedback, 0 as a seller. That alone is a HUGE red flag for a high ticket item.
If he used stolen pics for the LT I'll bet you can nail him on the Bush and Cutler as well.
Have to believe it's a scam.Comment

The seller sent me many more pics of the LT. The photos don't appear to be stolen.Always looking for game used San Diego Chargers items...Comment

Re: Tomlinson GU Throwback - Ebay
Here we go, 16 up close photos of the Tomlinson throwback that was put up on ebay. Again, the seller doesn't recall who he bought it from. he said it was at a card show from a game used dealer.
Be your own authenticator. Observations? Besides the unusual stitching in the year tag and an NFL shield that should not be there, any other thoughts?

Re: Tomlinson GU Throwback - Ebay
The tail elastic on all the Tomlinson jerseys I have owned are always sewn with a surger type stitch. The main difference in the 2005 and 2006 Tomlinson jersey is the elastic width. You can see the surger stitch well in the 2006 picture, the first picture.
The sleeve numbers are sewn different. Notice the surge stitch on the elastic in the sleeve and the shoulder lighting bolt panel also.
The partial yellow tag on the tail of the 2006 jersey is from the shoulder pads. A piece of that was also in the 2005 jersey. Bet theirs don't have that.

Re: Tomlinson GU Throwback - Ebay
The Tomlinson jersey on Ebay show's the #21 (when turned inside out) on the sleeve only to have stitching in yellow, where Rogers' jersey has yellow and white stitching....Eric, what do your jerseys show?Comment

Re: Tomlinson GU Throwback - Ebay
I took a quick look this morning at my bolt throwbacks and here's the stitching story with the numbers.
When turned inside out if you look at the stitching in the shoulder numbers it's like this
2002 yellow stitching only
2003 yellow stitching only
2004 white and yellow stitching
2005 white and yellow stitching
2006 white and yellow stitchingAlways looking for game used San Diego Chargers items...Comment

Re: Tomlinson GU Throwback - Ebay
Here are some pictures I found of LT wearing the powder blue throwback from 10/10/2004....
The Ebay Tomlinson appears to have the "correct" elastic waist band, but as Roger has previously posted, the Chargers DID NOT have the NFL Equipment shield on the collar....Attached FilesComment

Re: Tomlinson GU Throwback - Ebay
The elastic band in the tail is incorrect in several ways. If you look at the close up Eric posted, there is a single piece of light blue thread that is holding it in place. The original jerseys have the tails sewn with a surger machine. This creates a criss-cross pattern that has strength when stretched. That single peice of thread will break as soon as it is stretched. You can see the way they have the jersey rolled around and under the elastic which is different.
I do not like the stitch that is attaching the name plate either.
