Fake Jim Zorn jersey?

Re: Fake Jim Zorn jersey?

One other thing about the auction is that the letter mentions "shirts". Since I am not really into the game used scene, is that a normal word for "jersey"?

Yes, it is a commonly used term. Especially in regards to the older jerseys, as many players refered to their old jerseys as "shirts".

Mickey Mantle even inscribed one of his gamers as his "My (enter year here) shirt". I just can't remember the year. If I can find it in an older auction catalog, I'll post it here.

Another good shot of Zorn in 1982, and what could be that Champion jersey?

I just now noticed the inside of the 0 is a rectangle. The one on ebay has tapered edges.

Good eye Postermen. There also seems to be a break(of sorts) right at the mid point of the collar? Almost like a V Neck collar overlap. That, definitely doesn't look right.

That break in the collar, I was referring to, was in the auction jersey. Doesn't seem to be in the 1982 Zorn jersey pics.

Then again, the V neck collar thing, a common thing? Again, I'm not the jersey expert.

Some would be surprised. There has been at least one instance where such a "very highly respected forum member" knowingly tried to sell a fake jersey. I know from asking about an item being offered for sale by that member, then watching him try to hawk it on ebay, then an auction house. Who knows where it is now. Hope it's in his closet.

Personally, I am not surprised this item was being questioned. It is the right thing to do. Somewhat interesting a certain member never chimed in.
