I've bought at least 10 authentic jerseys on ebay in the last year and a half. I actually was on looking for an authentic DeMarcus Ware. I found one but no way I was paying the seller $22 shipping. I came across an authentic, white #81 brand new with the tags with less than an hour on the auction. The price was still at the opening bid of $24.99 so I decided to "watch" the item. I said if it's under $30 bucks with a few minutes to go, I'd jump on it. Well with about 20 minutes to go, someone jumped on it and pushed the bid up to $31. I was like, ok, i'm out but I leave the page up. I come back almost 18 minutes later and hit refresh, and someone had bidded, and now the price was $35. Again, I saw cool, i'm out, $30 was my limit for this guy. Well, as the final seconds ticked off the clock, something took hold of my right hand and made me click, bid, 5,0,.,0,0. I hit refresh and auction over, I won. I have my new authentic jersey for $36+$10 shipping.

Swore I owuld never buy another guy's jersey who wasn't homegrown, like I did with the Keyshawn throwback I bought last year. Especially with Terrell, hopefully, we're not having a jersey burning funeral in Dallas.:eek::

While we're talking about jersey's, I'd like some input. My sister got me an old school #72 Ed 'Too Tall' Jones jersey, signed by Ed. My wife thinks it should be framed, my sister and I think it should be worn.

Thoughts?

i'm sure it's legit and the seller has good feedback. every jersey i've bought on ebay is legit. Now the Ware jersey I mentioned, the seller is in Korea. I'm highly suspicious of that jersey.

I wouldn't wear it if that signature means anything.

If you wear it you will eventually wash it and the signature will be gone. I wouldn't wear it if it were me.

I think you are a very lucky man. Don't wear it either.

Indeed it does. You have to wonder WHY something that retails for $250 or more is going for so rediculously cheap. I would never touch a jersey from ebay.

If the jersey is made in El Salvador you have 99% that is authentic if is made in Korea you have 60% but if was made somewhere else you bought a fake jersey. maybe you can find a cheap authentic jersey that probably will be deffective but its hard to notice. I bought Bobby Carpenter jersey to get it signed he signed it but the jersey is fake in the pictures looks like is authentic but is not so becareful when you buy on ebay if you want to learn more about authentic jerseysof all sports. game worn etc etc go to www.nextleveltalk.com there you will find who sells authentic jerseys and a lot more. If somone is interested I have A Demarcus Ware size 52 Blue jersey

I wouldn't wear it either. IF I can ever get my Roy Williams, Terrell Owens, Emmitt Smith or any other that I have signed, i'd be retiring and framing them.

Since we're on the subject..

lonestarjerseyguy is a reputable ebay vendor.

I've bought a couple jerseys from him and they're the real deal (made in El Salvador). You won't be getting any jerseys for 30 bucks from him, but you will pay far less than you would from any retail vendor. His selection has been a little lacking lately though.

If it's signed, definitely frame it...
