Question About Jack Morris Jersey in VSA Auctions

Re: Question About Jack Morris Jersey in VSA Auctions

Yes I originally titled the thread with a title that I shouldn't have and requested Chris change it because I felt it wasn't fair to VSA. I am aware of Steves past and that does make me skeptical to buy from his house if the items don't have rock solid provenance or COAs from very reputable 3rd parties, which this Morris jersey does not

Nobody in this thread mentions that the owner of this auction house went to jail for selling fake jerseys as gamers??

I think we did but it got edited. If you notice the first page was edited pretty heavily by the admin's.

I agree Dave. I am happy VSA updated the description on the jersey. Lays out that it's not the game used jersey it seemed they implied it was before.

Re: Question About Jack Morris Jersey in VSA Auctions

I did notice in the auction listing that there was the outline of a Twins 30th Anniversary patch on the right sleeve underneath the World Series patch. That is a situation I saw on one other Twins jersey made for the 1991 WS (Chuck Knoblauch). While the photo evidence shows that this isn't the jersey he wore in his one road start, it could be possible that it was either a backup jersey or one that was "bench-worn". It seems far fetched that someone would forge a jersey with one patch, remove that patch with visible remnants, and then replace it with a second patch. The saga continues...

Can anyone post a screen shot of the patch, that would be helpful.

I have a screenshot on my phone but it's too big to post. Not sure how to make it small enough to post

I do apologize for posting early and not giving the auction house the chance to address the concern. That was my bad.
I was in contact with Mr. Jensen and he and I are in 100% disagreement on the matter and I am accepting that.
Again I do apologize for jumping the gun on posting but I firmly believe my research leads me to believing this jersey is not as it's being advertised.

1. Of course there's a disagreement. They want to sell a jersey and make money.
2. There's in reality no disagreement. The jersey is bad...photo matching proves it...and that's the end of the story. Period.

The jersey may be a legitimate issued jersey to Jack for the series but based on my research the jersey was not used in the game.

The jersey being a 1990 jersey is, in and of itself, not automatically a disqualifier, as the Twins have been a budget-conscious team for decades, and it's not out of the question that they may have brought out an older jersey for Morris to wear in the 1991 WS. However, your photo research definitely confirms that it was not the one he wore in his one road start in that series. Nice work on carrying the research to the highest level of proof.
