Re: Vintage auctions - Drexler game-used jersey opinions?

SportsCentury, thanks for your clarification on my Getty Images/statements Sorry, I certainly don't want to confuse or misrepresent anything! I've "been away" from jersey collecting since the mid-90s and getting back into it lately. Things are definitely different nowadays!

Thanks again..sorry if I misrepresented!

Nickacs, no worries. Thanks for your posts.

Re: Vintage auctions - Drexler game-used jersey opinions?

Back on topic - so do you guys think i got the right deal or definitely fake, if so how can i request a refund.

Thanks

Drexler, I think I made my opinion on the topic clear. I would not add the jersey to my collection if it were free. Also, since you are new here, I should let you know that a lot of threads go way more off-topic than this one did. It's just part of the GUU free-association culture. My recommendation is to leave it be (not that threads don't need to be redirected at times), as a lot of unexpected, important information has come to light via this style. For example, I would imagine Fred's information about Drexler's sizing during his Blazers' days would be of good use to you as a Drexler collector.

Did you try looking at Drexler trading cards? there are Drexler jersey that showed have a strip that is not in between the 22 so it is possible it could still be good

No, we can't definitively rule it out. Given the questions about the sizing (and apparent lack of evidence suggesting game use), I would lean toward "not good," but Jojo is right that it's possible that it is good. And I agree with him that since you've already purchased it, you may as well keep searching.

Drexler, I found the auction I had mentioned to you earlier. You can easily style-match these on Getty (I know, because I considered buying them myself), and MeiGray may be able to photomatch them for you:

Im just wondering was it easy to get 96-97 Jersey? I always like the gold NBA logo. I know there were a lot of procut and game issued from previous Champion jersey sold as game used.

Yes i did, out of the 20 different images of Drexler jerseys i've seen picturing him in the jersey the only one i found was this card which does not feature the strip in between - so it's 1 out of 20.

This offers a better view of the one most members a saying is real(doesn't feature the gold logo):

Thanks for the feedback and advice about posting here.

I checked out the auction link but considering it doesn't have the relevant COA from known brands, i'm gonna to aviod getting scammed again. Just too risky, unless you have some guarantee it's real.

Btw what do you mean by MeiGray photomatching?

Cheers.

You can style-match the shoes easily on GettyImages.com. Also, BPH is about the last dealer who is out to scam anyone. Search GUU and see all of the positive threads about them. It's unfortunate ... you're trusting Vintage and not BPH. This is exactly the opposite approach I would take. I have no financial interest in the shoes, and I'm certainly not about to guarantee another seller's item, but you can bet BPH will stand behind the shoes. If you want a photo-match, submit them to MeiGray.com (Barry Meisel). Do a search on GUU and you can see the various threads about the photomatching service offered by MeiGray, as well as general threads about what photomatching is.

As for basketball cards, you can't be 100% sure what years those photos are from as the card companies are not as systematic in their production as card collectors would like to believe. Endless mistakes and short cuts are made, whether we're talking Topps, Upper Deck, etc.

Re: Vintage auctions - Drexler game-used jersey opinions?

For cards it be easy to match this particular jersey because of where the stripes is and also the NBA golden logo. Also I think the shorts had the gold logo too in case you cant see the one on the jersey. Is a shame that most jersey of 90 are hard to tell if they are real or not.

Re: Vintage auctions - Drexler game-used jersey opinions?

I just got the jersey in today and i've scanned more images so you guys can perhaps help out. The jersey really stinks like sweat once i took it out of the bag - but anyone could of worn it and played b-ball using it.

One thing that i found strange(scanned below) was that there was a another tag attached on the inner side of the jersey, which stated inside:

Back of that:


Along with that inside there was this pen code tag(as the description states) residing on inner side seem:


So yeah not really sure - if anyone here has knowledge about these jerseys or has got one themselves please help out.

Here's a scan of the logo and tag:

Re: Vintage auctions - Drexler game-used jersey opinions?

That's really weird that someone would put a tag in the jersey saying 'No Good' and 'Game Issued Not Worn'. I've never seen that before.

Yet the Vintage auction ad/LOA "proclaims" the jersey as "game worn"? Hmm... I'd contact them and send them to pics to see what is up. Just my 2cents. I'd hate to see anyone get ripped off, potentially.

Yes. This is very rare. "Honesty is such a lonely word." Maybe never seen by the auction house.

Re: Vintage auctions - Drexler game-used jersey opinions?

You need to return the jersey and get your money back (including your shipping costs both ways). This is beyond horrendous. If you paid by credit card, call your CC immediately. Now you will have money for the REAL Drexler item offered by BPH. Get rid of this bad jersey and drop your interest in those crappy shorts. Just my 2 cents. Let us know what happens... and good luck. Do your research, stick with GUU, and be patient... and you'll end up with a nice Glide collection in the end.

Can you please also take clearer photos of this piece in case the jersey ends up somewhere else at "game used"
