what do you guys think of this one?..contacted seller a week or so ago with questions but never got a response...

seller is discrediting his own item by offering pictures of Hester in game action...on the back of the jersey he is offering the numbers are flat on top when they should be much more rounded...

I thought it might be the angle from which the picture was shot...but there is also a picture of the front of the jersey, from the same angle, which shows how the numbers should be rounded

no loa from Game Exclusives, and no mention of a team loa...so why was this graded an A10 by Mears?...

from the lack of response from the seller, and the item still up for sale, he must not care that there are issues with this jersey

Re: devin hester- ebay

Hey there lund6771,

This Devin Hester Jersey that your probably wondering about still.

That is a Real Chicago Bears Jersey of Devin Hester.

Your probably asking how can i be sure, well i have a Brian Urlacher Game worn Jersey from 2006 season.

Need more proof, The proof is in the 5 of the 7 pictures the seller has taken, not the picture of hester himself.

1. Picture of the back of the jersey tell me alot.
2. Picture of the front of the jersey confirmed it.
3. and Close up Picture with Hester Autograph "Nail The Door Shut".

Why is the Numbers on top is Flat, Well he lay the jersey on the wood floor (probably too stinky and Dirty for the kitchen countertop) and snap a few lousy picture of the Jersey without making it look nice and straight, and stretch out leaving no part of the fabric laying oven the other.

The Seller is asking way too much for the Jersey, but if your a Big Time Hester Fan What's stopping You.

Almost Forgot,

Some seller are like "If you can't tell the difference you shouldn't be owning one".

Re: devin hester- ebay

NFLCollector, I received a response from seller this morning almost identical to your post...you are awefully defensive of the this jersey...are you the seller?

my concern was that the top of the numbers, in the picture, of the back of the jersey appeared to be flat...I thought that it was perhaps the angle of the camera, but there was also a picture of the front of the jersey which showed the numbers to be ROUNDED FROM THE SAME ANGLE!!!!...understand the concern?

I think that the statement you make that "If you can't tell the difference, you shouldn't be owning one" is one of the most idiotic statements I've ever heard...I collect players that I WANT to collect, not because I can tell that if it is or is not real...

can you please enlighten us all how you can tell by looking at these pictures that it is 100% the real deal?...I'm not an expert in modern day jerseys, but I do know that there are a ton of pro-cuts out there that are being sold as game used...I also know that the Bears had an agreement with Game Exclusives...to me an inscription is as valuable as a Lampson LOA since anyone with a pen and a hand can add this...

lund6771,

No ,I am not the seller of the Hester Jersey.

I'm not here to defend any one, but I do defend the things I say about the jersey.

I said,"Some sellers thinks that way when it comes to an items like the one listed on ebay", Not me thinking that way.

Why you still concern about the flat on the top of the numbers, Well the layer of blue fabric (right below the name plate) is covering the rounded part of the numbers, which is making it look flat, it doesn't need a different angle, just some better close-up picture, Now do you understand?

Re: devin hester- ebay

No one can tell if its game-used without visual close-up inspection of the jersey, but i can tell you (from the pictures) that its a real game issue jersey made by Ripon Athletic for the Chicago Bears.

Re: devin hester- ebay

NFLCollector...

maybe your screen blows up the pictures of the Hester bigger than mine, because it is difficult to for me to see the #'s on the back covered up by the jersey...

If the numbers are rounded at the top, then it helps the cause...but I still don't understand how this would receive an A10 vs an A5...

this jersey obviously isn't something that was purchased at the local Sportmart, but what differentiates this jersey from the thousands of pro-cuts out there that are tagged right?...We've seen all of the Steelers and Patriots jerseys out there, and know that there is no way that they were all worn, but they are tagged correctly...aren't they?...

if this jersey came from Game Exclusives, that would be a different story...thats provenance, but I don't consider an inscription as provenance...too easy to forge

NFLCollector,

Please explain what you mean by this:

1. Picture of the back of the jersey tell me alot.
2. Picture of the front of the jersey confirmed it.
3. and Close up Picture with Hester Autograph "Nail The Door Shut".

What specifically about this jersey assures you it is a jersey made for Hester?

Re: devin hester- ebay

Im gonna take a wild guess and say that nfljerseycollector is the seller of the jersey. No need to get offensive and no need to blow up words the size of california to get your point across. DO YOU UNDERSTAND?

I concur. There is too much question on this jersey and post. Be careful lund6771, I'd save your money for a for sure one.

Re: devin hester- ebay

5kRunner,
Every few years teams changed something about their jersey for a reason, for what reason i not sure, but for the '06 hester jersey, I see things on that jersey (just from the pic) you don't realized, why is it a A10 from mears i can care less.
And no i'm not going into details on what i see, call me a fake, i can care less on what you think, I see the jersey being real but you all will be thinking was that a real one.
I wish there was a Butt-Load of people like you all (Don't know Jack), we (I know Jack) would saved alot of money from the real stuff.

Treasurechestcollectibles,
I am not the seller of the Hester jersey, i don't even have a seller account on Ebay.

The Titan,
Your right on one thing, telling lund6771 to save his money, because that hester jersey isn't even worth half that much.

Folks i don't care if anyone buy that hester jersey, it's not mine, i don't get money from it.

The truth is, I don't want anyone to paid for a jersey like that for that much money (Ripoff).

If one dumb person buys a jersey for that ridiculos price, then more sellers will ask for a bigger price tag than what it is really worth.

Re: devin hester- ebay

Anyone notice all the Devin Hester game used shoes on Ebay? I think there is 4 pairs on there right now.

Re: devin hester- ebay

NFLJerseyCollector,
I thought this site was about helping other collectors. You seem to be adamant that this jersey is real from what you see on the pics, but won't say what that is. This jersey is out of my price range, but I am a Bears fan and would love to own a jersey (of anyone) one day. So I'm just trying to educate myself a little so I'm not like the "butt-load" of people that "don't know jack".

Thanks for nothing.

Funny how you have 10 posts, 8 of which are defending this seller's jerseys.
