Re: LA Lakers game used

Can we see the photomatch of the jersey from Meigrey? Also how much did it cost and how long did it take to get back?

I'm at work now and don't have jersey and MeiGray photographic LOA's in front of me at this moment, but these were the two photos from GettyImages that were used for the photo-matches.



though the resolution is small, you'll notice on the left side of the jersey where the yellow and white trim is that there is a thread below the underarm. Stu and MeiGray were able to magnify this image and it shows the thread is unraveling and loose, exactly as it is on the jersey. Also, the alignment of the numerals and NBA logo in relationship to the "Lakers" from this photo matches the same positioning as on the jersey.



Again, the sample images on Getty's website does no justice to detail but the enlarged 8x10 sent by Stu and MeiGray shows loose threads around the lettering that aligns well with the jersey.

There were several other solid photos Stu was able to locate but in the end I decided on these twp because of the Lakers-Celtics recent rivalry and I also attended the Knicks game and makes it much more sentimental to document having a game used item associated with Kobe's historic night at the Garden.

There's also details included on the photographic LOA, off the top of my head I recall also printed are the date/location the photos were taken and the MeiGray jocktag security number that's corresponding on the jersey. I would contact MeiGray/Stu to discuss further the pricing and turnaround time it would take if you're interested in having an item evaluated, as each piece is unique in its value and depth of research needed to be conducted to see if a true photo-match can be established.

Victor/Quiggle28,

Is this your Gasol on eBay?

Re: LA Lakers game used

Was this Derek Fisher jersey used for the Shooting Stars Competition also used for regular season competition? Nice Gasol jersey.

I'm not sure that Victor/Quiggle28 looked into the histories of the other jerseys. I had other questions about the Gasol and its photomatching, but unfortunately Victor did not respond to my questions on GUU or through the eBay messaging system. I blew up the scans of the Fisher and it certainly looks well worn, so it would not surprise me to learn that this was one of Fisher's regular game jerseys from the first half of the season. It may be that the shoulder patch was been applied before the event and the MeiGray tag at the event's completion.

Re: LA Lakers game used

I looked at the Gasol jersey on Ebay and the seller seems to have put in alot of effort describing the jersey which strikes me odd that the auction was removed a day after it was listed. Anyone know what the reserve price was?

Pretty neat to win an event jersey and find out it was used for more than just that. Any other members have a similar experience?

Victor/quiggle28 must have pulled the jersey to sell it off of eBay. If you look at the auction, he posted all of the questions from potential bidders and his answers to them. All except for mine, that is. He did not respond to my questions, which was disappointing, particurlary since I trieid to help him here with his jersey. Not sure what that is about. It's a shame as I am sure I could have topped whatever price he received.

If you hang in there, I'm sure you'll see some of these other All Star special events MeiGray jerseys and warm-ups appear on eBay. I've already seen several listed, though this is the only Lakers one so far.
