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

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.

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:

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.

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.

I don't know if this helps,but Drexler wore size 44 + 4 when he played for the Trailblazers.I was told that the +3 Trailblazers jerseys were pro cut.

Like SportsCentury said, the Getty Images from 1997 season show the blue stripe going between the '22'.



Also, Getty didn't have a back shot of his blue jersey, but did of his white, which I have to assume all the markings would be the same, just difference in color. The stripes on the back of the Getty white show the stripe coming down the center of the 'X' and the top left corner of the 'E', while yours looks a little shifted to the left.



I am NOT trying to make it sound like you didn't get what you paid for, just trying to help out with some images/photomatch for you

Did you win this in the Vintage Auctions that just closed this past Thursday?

Best of luck on collecting!

I definitely would not assume that the pinstripe pattern would be the same across any two jerseys. Though it is hard to discern, it appears the pinstripe patterns for Drexler's main home and road pinstripes from 96-97 are similar on the fronts, but not the same (see Getty images 52012975 and 1396917, for example). Typically, any two jerseys would not even be this similar in pattern. Regardless, the Vintage jersey is not one in which I would have great confidence.

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

Hey guys, thanks for the input. Yes i was the winner of the Drexler jersey which i unknowingly thought was real, but after checking this site and getting feedback from members here, this is most likely a fake.

So do you guys think this is a fake?, and do they offer refund's for un happy customers?

Thanks

By the way, BPH/Kim Stigall had what appeared to be an outsanding pair of Clyde's game worn and signed shoes on eBay recently. It may still be on eBay in either current or past auctions. I remember that the starting bid was around $245 and I don't remember seeing a bidder.

Best of luck with your collecting.

I'll check it out.Thanks

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

So Clyde always wore the same size as Jordan or are you saying that Clyde and MJ both wore a size 50 jersey in 96-97.

I didn't quite get that myself.
