The seller ended it, but there are 2-3 things wrong with it that makes it fake. Trying to see who can figure it out. LMK if you want me to spoil the fun and tell you.

<< um i dont think they were nike jerseys in the pros and thats a nike patch >>

That's one. Champion makes the NBa jerseys. that's a Nike tag. 1 down 1-2 more to go.

Undertaker · May 1, 2002 4:44AM

umm.. hate to spoil ur fun auto.. but the lakers (and some other teams) use nike jerseys..

autobilia · May 1, 2002 4:45AM

<< umm.. hate to spoil ur fun auto.. but the lakers (and some other teams) use nike jerseys.. >>

Well, let me spoil your fun, the jersey piece under the tag is grey also. Does Lakers have grey jerseys?

donniebaseball23 · May 1, 2002 4:45AM

looks like the auto is fake too its a good fake if it is

Undertaker · May 1, 2002 4:48AM

the grey is just a part of the tag.. not a part of the jersey

autobilia · May 1, 2002 4:48AM

<< looks like the auto is fake too its a good fake if it is >>

No, I think the auto is real, but someone took a huge risk just to make some extra cash.

autobilia · May 1, 2002 4:52AM

<< the grey is just a part of the tag.. not a part of the jersey >>

The grey on the card isn't part of the tag. I have a couple of game used jerseys (full jerseys).

1991/92 Charlotte Hornets Larry Johnson Rookie jersey (made by Champion)
1993/94 Miami Heat Glen Rice jersey.

The company logo tag is totally separate from the tag with grey on them. Would you like me to scan it for you?

Undertaker · May 1, 2002 4:52AM

yes please

autobilia · May 1, 2002 4:59AM

<< yes please

>>

Here's the tags from the Glen Rice jersey.

Undertaker · May 1, 2002 5:02AM

ok, but that's a Champion jersey, not Nike

autobilia · May 1, 2002 5:05AM

The nail in the coffin

Where is the grey under Sports?

airKobe08 · May 1, 2002 5:06AM

that auto is real, that patch might be fake though. I've seen a seller sell nothing but peices of champion jerseys. I don't know if it's fake or he was just lucky to pull about 8 peices of a champion jersey.

Undertaker · May 1, 2002 5:08AM

if you look closely you will see that on the Kobe, the "Sports" is with a black background, the one you show is with a grey background, there might just be a difference.. besides, the patch on the card is very small, so it might just be real, and I don't think you can fake a patch like that by adding a piece of grey under sports

autobilia · May 1, 2002 5:10AM

Yes, but the tag doesn't extend pass the Sports. Look at the card again. That grey extends wayyyyyy pass the sports.

Undertaker · May 1, 2002 5:12AM

I know, but maybe that's the difference with the ones with black background, I don't know..
besides, how would you fake that?

airKobe08 · May 1, 2002 5:14AM

Yea that patch is probably fake. I hate to admit it, but auto you did a good job breaking it out. I saw that auction and thought it was real, but since you did the undercover work. Nice going even though I hate you

hahaha

The card also looks like its been trimmed. Look at the top and sides.

donniebaseball23 · May 1, 2002 5:23AM

i dont think its trimmed it has all the same features as a normal one on the sides and top

KoBe · May 1, 2002 6:21AM

also, the lakers jerseys changed from 2 yrs ago i think...used to have round necks now its more of a V..auto, not sure if that lakers u have is the old one or not, but that might be the reason for the sports thing

T1Mac · June 15, 2002 8:07AM

thats brutal or some good forging, lol
Id pay 8 dollars for it.... anyone contact the seller?

IversonMiles · June 15, 2002 8:11AM
