Finfanron has every game that Marino ever played in On DVD for $6 a piece. Google his name and you will find him. He is a real nice guy and very helpful. I am working on a Marino project with him now. If you can't find his email I can get it for you. Good luck.

The pics look intriguing. I still think you should try and get game footage off that link I posted earlier to try and match it rather then waste your time and money sending it to get authenticated. That still won't prove if it's legit or not. I think only a photo/video match will do in this case. Good luck with whatever you do!

Pics....any feedback on these? If you guys want more let me know! thanks!

Re: Dan Marino Gu Jersry On Ebay! Real?

Hey guys thanks for all the comments! I will take pictures tonight, and will post them on here for you to see! I wouldn't have purchased the jersey had I not known I had a money back guarentee, all by the seller, ebay, AND paypal. That being said, I know I have a very limited time to get it authenticated. Thanks again!

Re: Dan Marino Gu Jersry On Ebay! Real?

If it were my jersey and I was into it for $1800.00, what's another $200.00 bucks to get another opinion on it? I would call MEARS (if those are the folks the buyer is happy with) and explain the situation. I have to believe that with the amount of postings to this thread, they are already aware of the jersey and they may already have an opinion on it so how much time would it really take to authenticate it?

eBay has a Buyers Protection Guarantee so the Seller's return policy is irreverent. However, one must prove that an item was/isn't as advertised. The way I see it is, if the jersey is authenticated, that's great and for $2000.00, that's still a good deal plus you'll have some piece of mind. If the jersey is not authenticated, file a complaint with eBay ASAP basing your complaint on MEARS opinion. Send the jersey back and eBay will see to it that you get your money back. Better to lose $200.00 than $1800.00.

Just an opinion - hope I didn't offend anyone.

I agree that throwing some really good pics of wear, tags , etc on this site and see if it even has a chance, great way to start and save yourself 200. If it looks like it has a shot, then the 200 would probably be well spent as to ultimate retail. If it appears that it has no chance once all the opinions are in, I too would send it back. As to Blue Chip sports, I knew them when they were in Atlanta back in the 1980s and they used to get a lot of great stuff. I have no idea as to what they do currently so I cannot comment on that aspect of where the jersey was sourced. As ot MEARS customer service, I cannot comment as I don't do any work for them. I have generally heard that it is sometimes slow but I know that each piece sent in gets done but again, cannot comment on time frame of service. As to how could a guy sell such a great shirt, if real, at that price, it often depends on what he paid. I once bought a 1930 Hack Wilson all original home jersey, RBI season, for $95. Flea market dealer, he priced it, and I bought it on second day of show. He stated he had been offered 85 but would not sell for a penny less than his listed price and then he even told me it was Hack Wilson so it does happen. I am sure there are many others out there who have had a similar experience. David Bushing

Blue Chip Sports back in the 80's was owned and operated by Paul Kinzer was very honest and fair it has changed hands since then .

Re: Dan Marino Gu Jersry On Ebay! Real?

my opinion return the jersey. 200 is alot to gamble. buying cheap stuff from those in the business of selling goods of that kind looking to strike gold is like buying lotto tickets, theres a tiny chance you could win but 99.999% of the time your just tossing your money away. price doesnt automatically make something fake but when buying from a dealer stuff gotten dirt cheap ususally is. especially a rare item that is worth over 2X what you paid for it.

I believe the seller is blue chip sports......enter those three words on the search tab above and evaluate them as you see fit.......I hate to beat up sellers but if it quacks like a duck?........?

Dave....I think you may have missed the point of my post.

Just a few important items not to overlook:

2. The Seller has sold 1000's of Jerseys and his name has surfaced on the forum in a negative light on more than one occasion. It would not surprise me if one of his items (that he sold for way below market) came back with a below average score from Mears.

Jeff

Jeff, I didn't see anywhere in this thread discussing the seller's credibility. Can you please find links about the seller's past issues? I didn't even look at the seller, but this point is the first time I have seen anyone questioning the seller for selling thousands of jerseys and negative comments about the seller until your post earlier today.

Please elaborate and find some links about the seller to educate the buyer of this jersey.

Re: Dan Marino Gu Jersry On Ebay! Real?

Dave....I think you may have missed the point of my post.

Just a few important items not to overlook:

1. The Buyer is new to collecting GU and has asked many of us our opinion on the Marino and many other Jerseys over the last few weeks. He is trying to learn and we are trying to help him out so that he doesn't make a big mistake on one of his first GU Jerseys. I believe that he may have misinterpreted our suggestions and went ahead and purchased the Marino.

2. The Seller has sold 1000's of Jerseys and his name has surfaced on the forum in a negative light on more than one occasion. It would not surprise me if one of his items (that he sold for way below market) came back with a below average score from Mears.

3. Mears has been discussed on this forum from time to time as having poor customer service....long delays....and being non responsive to their customers. Unfortunately, that was also my experience on more than one occasion.

I would not personally recommend that Billy roll the dice on this one and hope that he gets lucky? He is asking for suggestions and personally I think the facts "speak for themself". Some of us are suggesting that he return the Jersey and find something better as his first GU Jersey.
