Re: Classic Auctions
Well i usually stay out of these kind of things because ultimately i end up offending somebody with my humble opinion.
I have bought Many,Many ,Many things from classic because i live in montreal where they are based. I also have consigned in the past to them.
I have also owned a Brian Leetch 98 skills competition jersey. Which had minimal wear. I was lucky enough to photomatch it with some loose threads and the placement of the "c". Also after i sold the jersey i was able to re photo match it with a very small un repaired hole on the arm. Now that i have bored you with my personal experience dealing with a similar jersey, i want to give you my thoughts on your issue.
Classic did you a BIG favour declaring a 50$ value and the reason they send the coa separately is in case the box gets opened and customs sees a coa YOU WILL GET DRILLED WITH DUTY FEES. Trust me on this you have nothing to complain about the fact they declared 50$ value and sent you the coa separately. Also i think meigray has been very fair in offering to re photomatch the jersey for you.
Where i have to agree with you is that classic has unfortunately declined in quality control. In my humble opinion the operation has become very big with lots of money going through there. In the last auction alone there was 5 peices that were obviously not game worn jersey A chelios tbtc, a bossy islanders , a bobby clarke flyers ect....
Do they do this purposely ? i cant answer that and i really hope not. In your case i think classic mislead you clearly stating there was a photmatch and then failed to provide the photomatch. However i do believe the jersey can be photomatched.
One of the big problem in the hobby is the belief that a photomatch proves authenticity. Sorry but it doesent the most important thing to look for a jersey is wear and provenance. You have to do your homework when you are bidding on a shirt worth allegedly thousands of dollars.
ALWAYS DO YOUR HOMEWORK even when buying from reputable dealers sometimes they make mistakes sometimes they might "accidently" let a questionable jersey go through. I in no way blame you for what's going on but i think you did not get ripped off here you wanted a photo matched jagr jersey and in the end you will have a photomatched jagr jersey. I think it sucks classic wasn't clear in there auction.
One last note i have a few pens jersey and marker in the tag is exactly like a jagr jersey i own and also matches the 6's in my lemieux that is currently in the game worn auction.
Good luck my friend i am sure things will work out
