George Brett Jersey authentic?

Re: George Brett Jersey authentic?

For those of you who have a decent knowledge of the eBay legal system, do I have a case given that this was sold as an "authentic" jersey? I've been in contact with the seller and have asked for him to keep the jersey and refund the money, and that I'd be happy to reimburse the Paypal fees to him as a show of good faith and of it being somewhat on me for not researching the jersey closer before purchasing it. He is telling me that he never sold the jersey as "game worn" and he will not refund my money.

Any thoughts?

Sorry to have bad news, but I would assume this is a score jersey NOT game worn. Several things, The Royals didn't wear name plates in 1989, the year and manufacture tag is wrong, and the Font of BRETT is also wrong. Sorry

Not game used in my opinion...

See #3 post in this thread, I'm not fully up on all the ScoreBoard jersey details, but this Brett matches the specs and the labeling of the Schmidt referenced in the initial post of the thread.

Just purchased a 1989 "set 1" George Brett jersey from eBay. The lister never put that the jersey was game used, and I thought I may have found a gem. I've done a bit of research on it since the purchase, and it looks like it was a bit too good to be true. I'd love some opinions/experiences back from other folks on here, but it looks to me like a 1990 jersey with a fake "set 1" tag dropped on there. I also compared another Brett jersey that went up to auction and noticed that the numbering doesn't match.

Here's the auction listing with photos: http://www.ebay.com/itm/George-Brett...vip=true&rt=nc

Anyone have any experiences like this with these sorts of jerseys, or have you seen tag jobs like this before?

Thanks in advance for the feedback!
