Re: Patrick Willis...No Game Use to Lots of Game Use!
I have recently picked up a number of game worn 49er jerseys that had "player provenance" but did not have a COA. I was told that the seller had connections and that the shirts were good. I took a chance and have been able to add a number of quality gamers at good prices including Anquan Boldin and Eric Reid shirts worn in the NFC championship game.
Just because a shirt does not have a COA stating provenance does not mean it is not good. I have numerous 49er gamers that do not have direct provenance that are key additions to my collection.
Some of the 2012 and 2013 49er shirts that I recently added had use similar to the use the Willis in the eBay auction showed. Also the white jerseys do not show much use in the images but do show way more when in hand. All of the jerseys I have added have been washed and washing removes much of the use as well.
Xsentrixsupra-you may be confusing eBay sellers. The seller of the Boldin was different than the seller of the Willis. I acquired a home Boldin from that seller which is his first 49er gamer.
Always buying 49er gamers especially 1994 and vintage gamers.

Hey Paul,
Any chance you would be able to get a Quinton Patton gamer? He's from my town and I would love to get one of his jerseys.Leave a comment:

I realize that some collectors depend on COAs, professional authentication, provenance, or other proof that the item is what it supposed to be, but keep in mind that there are numerous collectors who collect specific teams, players, etc. (such as Paul with the 49ers) who have the knowledge and expertise to determine for themselves.
Please, before posting in this Forum about "fake" and questionable items, be absolutely sure, beyond any doubt, that you are 100% correct. Otherwise, you are doing a disservice to not only the person trying to sell the item, but also to the hobby in general.

Yeah, if he does have connections, I wonder why he doesn't mention that in the auction in some way. Looks like the auction ended, so maybe it will show up again in the near future, or maybe he sold it off ebay.Leave a comment:

I offered him 500 for a Boldin jersey and a Kaepernick jersey he had and he declinedLeave a comment:

Re: Patrick Willis...No Game Use to Lots of Game Use!
IMO, seems to be 2 different jerseys.
Spacing between the 5-2 is different.Leave a comment:

Re: Patrick Willis...No Game Use to Lots of Game Use!
In this case though it does seem like people have raised some legit concerns. It isn't the typical "well this mesh hole is off .00002 cm from the edge of the # it must be fake" I'm not 1 of the people who goes to that detail, but I was looking at this jersey when he had it for sale earlier and just wasn't able to find anything even remotely close to the marks on the shoulder area. That's not to say 100% it's not legit as the guy seemed like a nice dude, but there are plenty of pics with a simple Google image search of every half of every game from that season with Willis playing and I wasn't able to find anything close.Leave a comment:

Some of you guys are like those Bigfoot hunters. You see a Bigfoot in every photo and behind every tree.
You should apologize to the seller.Leave a comment:

Re: Patrick Willis...No Game Use to Lots of Game Use!
I've spoken to him before on some 49ers jerseys. He said his dad is an entertianment lawyer and specifically works with XAM which represents Kaepernick. I ended up not feeling comfortable with it, but the guy did seem knowledgable so for better or worse, he does seem to know what is what. He said he actually does have boxes of jerseys dating from back to 09. He was talking about the difference between replating a jersey and game used. In the end seemed like a nice guy, but I looked at photos of all the games from the season the jersey was represented as and couldn't match up any of the marks, so I ended up passing.Leave a comment:

Re: Patrick Willis...No Game Use to Lots of Game Use!
I noticed the nameplates are different as well. So you think they changed the nameplate on the issued jersey to make it look like a different jersey and add some wear to it, to make it look game used? Even though nowhere in the current auction does it say game worn or game used.Leave a comment:
