Thoughts on GU inscription?

Re: Thoughts on GU inscription?

Is the sig the same? Most likel, but Eric asked and I answered. The J looks different, as do some other parts. Will we ever know for sure? I do not think so, only one person may know for sure and he most likey is just a lurker here and not going to come on here and explain.

Maybe someone else has some Jackson autos on numbers that they will post here to try and we can try to match them to the ones in question.

Do the Rams not tag or barcode their game worns? Thought I read that they did. That would put this whole thing to rest would it not?

Don't also forget that the person who bought the stephen jackson game cut jersey with has the same street address as the person selling the one with the game used inscription

Also, here's another photo of a Stephen Jackson signed game cut from NFL Auctions

Re: Thoughts on GU inscription?

look at the two signatures and all of their identical points. now imagine giving jackson 2 jerseys and telling him to sign each on the "3". jackson probably spends a maximum of 4 seconds on each signature. in those 4 sesconds, you genuinely believe that he could sign his name so that the T hits the edge of the twill, the T is crossed at exactly the same point, the J crosses the twill identically, the "#" is exactly the same distance from the "k", and the autograph magically ends at exactly the same point underneath the "3". you believe it's possible for all of those points to overlap perfectly without any forethought, intent, or planning in a 4 second timespan?

if you're curious about the the smudge, consider that the smudged autograph is from the jersey that "shows good rb wear". given that the jersey was originally sold as a game cut, how do you suppose that wear got there? perhaps by misturini putting on the jersey and literally rolling around in his living room. in attempting to add "good rb wear" to the jersey it's likely that that portion of the number with the autograph suffered some abrasion and got scratched off.

We all have opinions and mine is clearly that it is the same sig although the ink & smudge could have changed by a number of ways.

You can't change the location of the sig, but you can add ink, smudge ink, lighten the ink. I am now thinking that the jersey may have been washed which could explain the differences. Just an additional theory.

Re: Thoughts on GU inscription?

My personal opinion is these two jerseys are infact the same jersey. I think the proof is over whelming.

Good job Eric!

Funny thing about the Starter NFL jerseys. If you were at the right place at the right time, they used to sell these in the Starter outlet stores for under $100.

Re: Thoughts on GU inscription?

Hello everyone-

I wanted to pass something along to you.

A person who is new to the hobby came across the forum, emailed me photos of a Stephen Jackson game used jersey which is currently for sale at Steve Misturini's AuthenticSports to ask my opinion before spending the money.

Mr. Misturini claimed this came from a Rams teammate and was charging $1800 for it

According to the seller, the jersey shows some good RB wear and is autographed with jackson's name, number and g/u 05. See photo below

A few minutes of research showed that a Stephen Jackson game cut jersey was sold on ebay by NFL Auctions (rams-auctions) item # 170020206191 to user gingerine98 for $406 with this photo

[ATTACH]2976[/ATTACH]

Note the lack of the inscription. Here is a side by side comparison of the jerseys.

[ATTACH]2977[/ATTACH]

I sent the photos back to the buyer so he could make his own decision on what to do.

The autos look similar but not identical to me. The "J" in Jackson looks more oval in one while the other looks more round. Also, the straight, downward part of the "9" looks to curve slightly to the left in one while goes straight down in the other.

Re: Thoughts on GU inscription?

I see what you are talking about with the "J" but that is probably the illusion of the 1st jersey being flat and the one with the g/u 2005 inscription being propped up on something causing a change of angles. If you look at the location of each twist and turn in relation to the stitch marks the signatures seem to line up perfectly.

The statistical probability signing thru the same stitch marks seems very very remote in my opinion.
