Grey Flannel Auction on ebay ......

Re: Grey Flannel Auction on ebay ......

You went from saying..."stay away from reggie bush usc game jersey, the front #5 is placed way far from the collar" to it must be from another season, which would be a simple error in the year on GF's listing department.

Like I said, this Reggie Bush jersey is PERFECT in every way. The finest one to hit the market.

Are you the consignor of the jersey or do you work for Grey Flannel? You seem to have specific knowledge of the jersey by saying, "Like I said, this Reggie Bush jersey is PERFECT in every way. The finest one to hit the market."

Thanks

it is not OKAY to MISLEAD the information about the jersey beacuse 2005 is when reggie bush won heisman so prices will be different so GF need to change from 2005 to 2004 because the jersey seem is from 2004 season however the marks doesnt match from getty picture to the jersey that GF is selling .....

Re: Grey Flannel Auction on ebay ......

but how can you make the statement that it's "the finest to hit the market."

seems like an odd statement to make if you have not seen the item in person. or have you seen it in person? if so, how?

please also address the questions i sent you regarding your contact information that i sent you in the last email.

thanks

I sent them a message about lot
215: 1973 Willie Mays Mets BP Worn & Signed Jersey

I do not recall the Mets ever wearing a blue batting pratice jersey until the early 80s. I sent GF a message to this effect with mo response. I very sincerely doubt this is a 1973 Batting Practice worn jersey. It is almost certainly a coaches jersey from spring training in the early 80s!

Do you have any photos to back up your claim?

Willie was banned from baseball from 1979-1985.

Did Mays EVER work as a coach for the Mets. EVER?

When did MLB players start wearing BP jerseys?

Re: Grey Flannel Auction on ebay ......

The Mets used this blue knit as an alternate style game jersey in 1982, 1983, and 1984.

Mays did indeed work as a coach for the Mets from 1974-1979. The Mets did not wear this style game jersey during those years. I would still like to know the history of BP jerseys.

Re: Grey Flannel Auction on ebay ......

I apologize for the chronic posting....GOOGLE rules the world!
cut&pasted from ultimatemets.com:

1981
The Mets begin to use "batting practice jerseys," also referred to at the time as "warmups." ("Batting practice jerseys" will not be extensively documented, as they are not part of the "game" uniform, and there have been so many variations over the years that it would take up an undue amount of space to document each variation and design. Nevertheless, it is significant to note when teams began using them regularly).

The thread was opened on Sept 3rd and jerseys12 joined Sept 3rd to defend the jersey.......hmmmm.

Re: Grey Flannel Auction on ebay ......

Do you have any photos to back up your claim?

Photos to back up my claim that this jersey is NOT from 1973? That would be kind of hard to prove a negative. Others have agreed with me that the Mets did not wear this style until the early 80s. If Willie was indeed banned until 1985 then this jersey probably is not even team issued. It is likely just a batting practice jersey made up to be a WIllie Mays and he autographed it.

I think it is extremely irresponsible for a company of the stature of GF to call this a circa 1973 jersey when it most definitely is not. Pure case of trying to take advantage of the uninformed.

So your claim is that Grey Flannel is intentionally selling this item misrepresented trying to defraud the public? You claim they are trying to take advantage of the uninformed, so I would think you are claiming they know the error and want to admit it.

I just figured if you could offer some evidence it would help the claim so maybe I can help you have the item pulled if evidence is shown to back up your claim.
