Re: Tom Brady GU Jersey - NFL Auctions

I apologize if this is seen as an unnecessary bump to the thread, but I'm interested where Mulligans is ordering the videos of games as mentioned in his post.

Hey Seth. I recall some of Jeff's screen prints from game footage. I believe he was using Game Rewind on NFL.com. They offer different price packages and go back as far as 2009. Would seem to fit with the jersey in question on this thread.

Seth,

I wish Jeff aka Sullivan's was here to answer your question but he passed away earlier this year.

Re: Tom Brady GU Jersey - NFL Auctions

Dave....Thank you for being Civilized with your question.
Sometimes the negativity on the Forum gets crazy.

To answer your question.......Some of it I had to take as Gospel, some of it was my own due dilligence…….

The NFL was obviously only quoting what Tom was telling them. The Pats were probably only quoting what Tom was telling them too. The teams are not into photo matching or anything like that so they were taking Tom’s word on it. Contrary to what people felt, Tom actually got the Jersey himself and mailed it directly to the NFL.

When I got the Jersey and it showed that it was worn (just the odor, no distinguishing marks), I was less concerned about it. I ordered the videos of both games expecting to “see the light”, but the videos were tough to focus on the small patch. Most were inconclusive, but some were close. It was still just too tough to tell with 100% certainty.

I own over 100 great football Jerseys and I have only been able to match about 1% of them. It doesn’t stop me from collecting and It does not really bother me too much because they are mine and I enjoy them either way!

To make a long story short, the Jersey has since been washed and is presently hanging in Tom’s locker in Foxboro. My contact at the Pats has assured me that Tom will wear my Jersey on this Sunday against the Ravens or in 5 weeks when the Pats wear blue again and then it will be returned to me unwashed. I do not think that it was necessary to wear it again, but who wouldn’t take advantage of this type of opportunity!

I imagine that there will still be doubters just the same, but at least I will be happy!

Mulligans it would be awesome if you keep the information requested to yourself. Collectgu maybe try changing your tone, mulligans doesnt owe you crap.

What are you talking about? I have no problems with Mulligans, just asked some questions which in his own words were "civilized" and then proceeded to congratulate him on his jersey and the great story behind it. So relax there richard...

collect and even myself are not trying to change anyones tone. lets be real here if mulligans did not point this out to the nfl or send the jersey back ! someone would have paid for a game worn jersey that was NOT worn!

nfl made a mistake ! thats a fact.

WOW!! Very Nice
You are going to have a very nice jersey and congrats.
Now I hope Brady gets sacked 5 times and leaves blood marks all over the jersey but passes for 400 YDS and 5 TD's on a come from behind win in the last seconds.

Re: Tom Brady GU Jersey - NFL Auctions

Mulligans,

Thanks for the reply. Wow, Brady has agreed to wea your jersey in a game and return it? Knowing this, that will become one of the nicest game worn Brady jerseys in the marketplace...amazing. Gongratulations. I hope he is knocked down a few times so you can get some distinguishing marks and phot match it.

Best,
Dave

Re: Tom Brady GU Jersey - NFL Auctions

Like Bill OReilly says......"You get the last word."

Can we consider this done?

If you or anyone else wants to contact me directly to discuss the Jersey, I would be happy to chat.

Re: Tom Brady GU Jersey - NFL Auctions

can an admin delte my prior post due to format error.


“I told you I received the Jersey and it was unwashed….you accused me of fabricating the story? Why do I owe you an explanation if you think I am lying?”


Wait no one said anything about fabricating any story we all took you at your word. What did we have to go on otherwise? Personally I never ask for one.


“I have the Jersey in my hands and tell you it is unwashed and you tell me it can’t be because you pulled ½ dozen images off of Getty and none of them match? Did you watch the game films of both games? Did you ever consider the fact that Tom could have worn 2 Jerseys during the games?”


Actually I did get back and get tapes from both preseason games and it shows the same evidence. Plus Brady only played the first half in one game and a couple snaps on the other so to say he changed jerseys on the sidelines would be very strange to say the least. If he did go back to the locker room just to change jerseys that would make less sense.


“Sometimes the negativity on the Forum gets crazy.”


No one is being negative we are just being practical when looking at the facts of the case, hell you posted your doubts and even stated you retracted your own bid !


“The NFL was obviously only quoting what Tom was telling them. The Pats were probably only quoting what Tom was telling them too. The teams are not into photo matching or anything like that so they were taking Tom’s word on it. Contrary to what people felt, Tom actually got the Jersey himself and mailed it directly to the NFL.”


We agree with this sentiment as to why there may have been in a mix up on Brady and the NFLs end.


“When I got the Jersey and it showed that it was worn (just the odor, no distinguishing marks), I was less concerned about it. I ordered the videos of both games expecting to “see the light”, but the videos were tough to focus on the small patch. Most were inconclusive, but some were close. It was still just too tough to tell with 100% certainty.”


That statement most people agree with that you can’t be 100% sure; but the photos from the games are very clear, this would also say that he would have changed jerseys on the sidelines since he did not play the second half in those game would not make much sense.


“I own over 100 great football Jerseys and I have only been able to match about 1% of them. It doesn’t stop me from collecting and It does not really bother me too much because they are mine and I enjoy them either way!”


Not for nothing on your website you photo match ALL the jersey you have listed photos of so I don’t know how you can make this statement.



“To make a long story short, the Jersey has since been washed and is presently hanging in Tom’s locker in Foxboro. My contact at the Pats has assured me that Tom will wear my Jersey on this Sunday against the Ravens or in 5 weeks when the Pats wear blue again and then it will be returned to me unwashed. I do not think that it was necessary to wear it again, but who wouldn’t take advantage of this type of opportunity!”



Why if you were confident it was worn by Tom would you feel the need in a round about way to send it back to have him “wear it again”. That does not make any sense.


Everyone is happy for you that he will finally ware the jersey for your own sake. But to claim he wore this jersey at any point in the 2010 season from this day back with be contradictory to everything you claimed and what photo evidence has supported.


Lastly, this is not personal no one is attacking you personally everyone is more upset at the NFL for listing an item as “game worn” that had to be sent back to be “worn” . I would expect for diligence on the NFL’s part
