Re: GFC Lot 159

Respectfully, Joel, this is Grey Flannel we're dealing with. This is the same company that made fools of themselves on national television regarding their ability to analyze uniforms and did not seem to learn anything from the experience. If this were a company that had a track record of reliability, that would be one thing, but there are at least 5 pieces in every GFC auction that are flat out jokes, such as this Ewing jersey. They do not deserve the benefit of the doubt that they are making an honest mistake. Secondly, a former GFC employee posted here that GFC employees regularly look at this board, so I guarantee you they know about the issues. Thirdly, I know for a fact the FBI reads this board daily, and they are well aware of GFC's questionable merchandise. This thing with Mastro is the tip of the ice berg. Other auction houses are being HIGHLY scrutinized, and you can bet GFC is one of them, whether they realize it or not. According to GFC, the jersey was supposedly consigned by Ernie Perveil, whoever that is, and it has been in his collection for "about 15 years."

Re: GFC Lot 159

I can't even imagine how they could sell a questionable shirt, of a HOF inductee, at a live auction at the HOF

It amazes me

Has anyone contacted them about the posted issues with this jersey? I have not because I have no desire to bid on it, but has anyone who is a legitimate Grey Flannel bidder emailed them?

No offense, but don't waste any more time. This is not the first or last time Grey Flannel has passed off a piece of crap as a game used jersey. They could not authenticate a boyle on their own behind.

Joel,

I have a photo archive of over 8000 emoticons and thus can easily spot the differences between a Smiley Face and an Eye Roll.

To practice, you may want to look through your Sunday paper and find those two pictures that look like they're the same, but actually have 10 differences. I once heard that Lou Lampson suffered a mild seizure trying to complete one of those. That was probably just a rumor though.

Good luck!

My wife and I often play Photo Match on those machines in the taverns.

Re: GFC Lot 159

I've spent a lot of time trying to find any pictures to match the front & back of his shirt...can anyone find AT LEAST one pic to match this thing?...I can't find one!!!!

the year that they say it's from does not match to what I'm digging up

I was/am intersted in his thing, but it's not looking good

Re: GFC Lot 159

I don't think it has ever been Grey Flannel's policy to present visual evidence to support their opinion of an item.

If they had a "style" match photo, I think that they would post it....they posted pictures on the North Carolina Jordan

now that their "opinion" is not looking so good, and it's accompanied with a bad sig, I'd be doing some serious research on this piece before I'd be auctioning it off in front of the public at the Hall of Fame

Greg, I was joking with you. See the smiley face?

Re: GFC Lot 159

I'm basing that assumption on the fact that they've never sent me photographic evidence when I've pointed out characteristics on their items that seem a little out of the ordinary.
When I did receive their catalogs, I don't recall seeing any style match photos from game action.
Same with their online auction. I don't recall seeing game photos presented with the photos of the item.
And there have been a few items presented on this site that have never received any responses, directly or indirectly.

As a service to their customers, they should really make sure that faceless Noels like myself aren't purposely trying to drive down the value of one of their auctions, in order to acquire the piece themselves. Could happen.

And I believe your written policy was that you weren't going to post on this site anymore, but looky who showed up again. So one may want to assess another's 'policies' based on their actions (or lack thereof) rather than what is or isn't written.

Re: GFC Lot 159

Is this a policy listed on their web site or in their catalogs? Inquiring minds wish to know.

Re: GFC Lot 159

Here is the same comparison of the front of the jersey. Can anyone see any differences between the GFC model and the actual game model?

You mean other than the numbers?

Re: GFC Lot 159
