Re: Dan Marino Gu Jersry On Ebay! Real?

If I sold someone a jersey and then when they failed to sell it for 3x as much, so they tried to return it, I would have a serious issue with that. I hope Ebay would as well.

I believe I just stated my main reasons for posting it on ebay....so if you didn't understand I'll try and re word it a little better for you to comprehend...My main goal for posting the jersey on ebay was to see the response it got, at the same time, if someone buys it, I will offer 100% money back guarentee if they find it to not be authentic. That right there states that IF someone buys it, which for that price and lack of providence I doubt they would, I will still offer money back if they are willing to do the research.

Ok, but you have been told clearly - The jersey is questionable!

So now you say you'll sell it as game used and you'll let an unsuspecting customer decide? Sorry, that is 100% wrong. Please understand, you have been told by two industry experts the jersey isn't good but you would like to gamble and sell it to an honest person to let them determine if two industry experts are wrong?

Don't waste your time sending this jersey to Grey Flannel or MEARS - They will give you the same answer you have already heard - The jersey is not authentic.

If appears to me you are hoping for a miracle. It also appears to me now that you have new information about the jersey, you are condoning fraud.

Re: Dan Marino Gu Jersry On Ebay! Real?

this entire thing makes no sense. how much time does it take to mail it to the authenticator? one would think less than it takes to set up the auction. you paid what 1800 for it so its not like you have a fortune tied up in it. forget mears you could submit it to grey flannel they have an ongoing auction and could probably still include it in their late additions. first they would authenticate it and they do make errors but are very knowledgeable. what worries me is your offer of a money back guarentee. first what is sufficient proof to you to prove item is not authentic?

Re: Dan Marino Gu Jersry On Ebay! Real?

This is, no one knew for sure before, now, people have STRONG opinions about it....which to me is just odd. I understand people's concern, and that is fine. If someone wants to bid in the ebay auction, and they get it and find it it is not real, then fine they get their money back as stated in the auction, I just don't have the time to send it to mears and get it authenticated and all that, like I originally thought I did, which is why I am at this time seeing the response I get on ebay, seeing how much interest there is and what not, I really do not expect to sell it at this point, so we'll see.

I am confused. You have been clearly told the jersey has issues, but you are still willing to sell it to someone who may not know about these issues? That is how I read your email above.

You have been told by myself and now Dave Miedema the jersey is not right, but you still want to try to find a sucker to buy it?

While I hate to give the impression of "piling on", I looked at the eBay losting on this jersey and I, too, have concerns. I agree with the previous poster who opined that the boxed year tag was too large. Also, the embroidery (not the font, but the actual aqua thread) seems a bit off to me, as well.

I'm not going to slap any hands nor kick any rear ends here, but, if presented to me for a LOO, I would designate this piece as Unable To Authenticate.

Re: Dan Marino Gu Jersry On Ebay! Real?

I've never accused anyone here in this thread of anything.

I agree with the recent comments, like alaxis, that you asked for everyone's opinion if it was real or not after you bought it from Ebay for $1800. Trsent and others expressed their concern over the jersey and offered in several ways to help personally and guide you to others.
Then you go on hiatus for a week or two and then the jersey does "suddenly" pop up on Ebay for $2500 BIN/$5k buy and then the auction ends and you re-list it for $3k BIN/$6k buy.

However, the overall problem with this whole thread/and you is that you STILL don't know if it's legit or not, yet you sell the jersey for 2.5x you paid and now 3x. So, you could very well be re-selling a potentially completely worthless $200 at best "game worn" Marino jersey and dup someone else of 3 TIMES the amount you paid for it??? Am I wrong here?? I mean, come on man. That's the part of this hobby that I absolutely HATE with a passion. I've been dupped over the last couple years by your very own "favorite" auctions houses and luckily one of them manned up and refunded my money a whole year later.

IF the jersey was indeed real/"game worn" Marino jersey, would you really re-sell it at all? I guess you certainly could for 3x the amount, but for that it MUST be a MEARS A10 jersey and nothing less. But the fact you ARE re-selling it with no proof of it's legitimacy just adds to the bigger problem here.

My email is in my profile and your more than welcome to email me as well, but I think this should be brought out into the open and discussed here civilly on this public forum. Nothing wrong with that.

I see all these other threads talking about Ebay/forum users dupping collectors, so I'd like to hopefully see this thread turn around for the best of you and everyone and it IS a legit jersey that can be proven and everyone can be happy. But looks like right now, there are opinions expressed on here that the jersey is not legit. Let's see what you do with it.

Re: Dan Marino Gu Jersry On Ebay! Real?

asking for my money back, meaning, i can still get my money back from who I got it from. again, if you have questions, you can email me and ask. I have nothing to hide, thanks.

Re: Dan Marino Gu Jersry On Ebay! Real?

well i appreciate that, however, it definitely seemed to be in an accusing manner, same with a few other people on here. No one ever has definitely confirmed to me 100% that this jersey is not legit, most people don't know, some people tell me to send it to mears, some people tell me not to. No matter what I do here I will get criticized, thing is, I can still get my money that I paid back for the jersey. The intent of putting it on ebay so soon was to see what sort of response it got, if someone wants to accuse me of something, then instead of posting it on a forum, I'd appreciate an email first, notslip0602286@aol.com. I'm not here to make enemies, and I've met a couple people on this forum that have really helped me out and I appreciate it alot, so thanks.

FYI - I never accused you of anything. I was just informing you of information I received.

You are not only asking for your money back, you are asking double what you paid for the jersey which still has many questions regarding its authenticity.

well what kind of credentials does he have? Someone posted pictures earlier in this exact forum, and the pictures look very similar, not saying he's wrong, as I am new to this hobby, but I don't really know. I go by what i can see and what people on here and various other sources tell me

I gave you information for your benefit. If you don't wish to accept it, don't. That is your choice, but I am not able to offer you more information about the information I offered you. It is good information, and you should use it to your benefit.

If I told you the information came from me, would that help? I have been buying and selling game used memorabilia for about 25 years now. I have worked with some of the best experts in the industry and I used them to help me when I am unsure.
