Re: Game Used Ripken Home Jersey 99 on Ebay?

Here are words of wisdom from the man himself. Although he did not state why this was not authentic he say it was not the real thing

Now there are several problems with this blanket statement as I happen to know that a game used Ripken from a reliable source was listed several months ago although not sold. However, it looks like in this instance that Wild Bill has made the official call.

Re: Game Used Ripken Home Jersey 99 on Ebay?

I just noticed that this same jersey went back up on ebay yesterday some time. The previous auction ended 5/9/06 with a high bid of $1625.00. I have emailed the seller yesterday around 3:00 p.m asking him if the buyer did not come through or if this is another jersey identical?? I have not heard back yet. Many people questioned whether this was game issued or game used? I had several individuals question whether the name plate was altered. In any case I will let everyone know what I find out. If someone else could contact the seller and inquire it would be helpful. Several members also felt this same jersey was sold several months ago as game issued definitely not game used. The original response from the seller was that he obtained it from a hugh Orioles collector several years ago but did not remember the person's name and he subsequently lost the LOA that came with the jersey from the collector. Just several issues that raise a bit of a red flag here.

Thanks

Just a quick update, the seller replied that the previous buyer notified him that he would need to wait a week before he could pay with a credit card through paypal. The seller said he thinks that the buyer was trying to pay with a stolen credit card. In any case this is still the same jersey make your own educated decision as to its game worn status.
