Re: film worn jerseys

thank you for coming by Larry and for the good insight, I was unaware Premiere Props was active on Ebay and it looks that they have very solid feedback. considering the awards this film is going to win, the price for the item is not so bad. I'm also thinking of picking up one of the worn helmets from the film.

my only concern now is what godwulf mentioned earlier about having multiple sets of the same item and how can I be sure if what was in the film is the same item I am receiving? if you could also address that as well Larry that would be great.

My board name is the same as my real name Larry Pelliccioni. My email is llpell@wowway.com and I would be happy to help you if I can.
I can say that there are not alot of collectors who go after film worn memorobilia for some of the reasons articulated in the other posts although some of that information is a bit misleading. Premiere Props has been very active on ebay and has brought into the hobby, many wonderful items that in years past would have been recycled for other shoots.
You raise a larger issue that has plagued both sports and film collector's for years and that is the value of letter or certificates of authenticity.
Let me just say this and that the value is in the item not in a document, both can be forged.
We get the items that movie studios and equipment managers want us to have and in many cases it justifies and is the item that truly was but like anything else, it has also opened the door for fraud.
Anyway, contact me if you want my help, I stand willing to assist anyone, almost anytime and although my knowledge base pales in comparison to others, I have learned a little in the 36 years of collecting.

Re: film worn jerseys

Another thing I don't like about it is that the only COA they're providing is their own - nothing from the studio or production company.

like I said before, my knowledge in this area is limited, but isn't the LOA issued by them similar to the ones where sports memorabilia companies have in agreement with teams?

Re: film worn jerseys

Grossly overpriced, agree. Particularly since the costume department probably made up a half dozen of this exact jersey, and there's no real guarantee that the actor ever put this one on. They always have multiple standbys, in case of damage, or just so they have a clean one for reshoots, etc.

Another thing I don't like about it is that the only COA they're providing is their own - nothing from the studio or production company.

Re: film worn jerseys

I have dabbled in this from time to time but it usually results in me selling that item rather than keeping it. After looking at the item you're thinking of purchasing, my first thought is that is grossly overpriced.

You might want to contact forum member Larry Pellicioni -- he probably knows more about the screen-worn stuff than anyone here.
