Advent of internet has to be a killer for a lot of these auction houses b/c they count on un-thoroughness and the belief that if they sell under they're name-it has to be real-concept.
Agreed, another reason Al Gore should be celebrated for his amazing invention
Hello - I am the owner of the Magic Johnson jersey currently listed on eBay. I feel compelled to respond based upon some of the threads here. While I cannot speak for all jerseys, I can speak for mine. I had a lengthy conversation with Dan Ceniceros of DC Sports verifying the identity and authenticity of this jersey. He had reviewed this jersey for Grey Flannel for this NBA Hall of Fame auction. So this jersey has been through the hands of DC, Grey Flannel and Leland's before that. Unless Magic handed me the jersey himself, I can do no better.
In closing, I find it irresponsible for people to place opinions as expert without holding jerseys in their hands.
CJ,, what I think they're trying to say is that if one attempted to find a style match (getty.ap,video) one would find the attempt futile. Yes, you are correct that a jersey on hand would be appropriate to gauge authenticity-but only after a style match is confirmed. Style matches can determined with online visual images comparisons. Lastly, with the advent of internet some people have come to believe that those 3 parties don't hold quite so much pull in determining the "goods". Internet has allowed collectors to do their own due diligence.

*post an in-game photo of a lakers player in a jersey with spacing that Mick described as fake - his contention will be disproven and CJ35 can sleep well again.

Part of the problem will stem from Grey Flannel being in the mix. They've sold so many questionable items over the years that they finally were subpoenaed in May in an ongoing fraud investigation. It's possible that the jersey is good, and here's Dan's contact information, in case anyone needs to verify:

Listen numnutz, this is not funny... The eBay is a foggy and looks like a sand knit .
Some poor dude Scott Forker was mislead into a magic being photomatched and many members so called experts in phodo matching stay silent? Shame on them and not helping this fellow collector. Meigray would not pass it as previous pictures clearly show big differences. But why is Willy Fisher poking at it? Where are the Laker experts like Dc, and photomatchers, Alpert, Miedema? Help this guy out, sad
I was originally really interested in this piece until a friend off a friend brought to my attention this is not a match... Also my friend knows of a prominent collector who let Scp days if not weeks before auctions end that in fact this was not a match. It came from a matching expert. Picture attach. I'm sorry Scott
