A key is to try and photomatch your game used whatever with photos from the game. That's what experienced game used collectors do. Look for matching wear, details, patch placement, etc.
If you ever visit the game used forum at gameuseduniverse.com, they are often analyzing photos and talking about photo matches. If you haven't visited, it's a good site with many experienced collectors, dealers and authenticators and much discussion. Last edited by drcy; 02-02-2014 at 12:43 PM.

Not that the NFL isn't careful and has a plan, but I've read that MLB has the best and most detail-oriented authenticating system. They literally have off duty police officers at the game who mark items as the come off the field, and the officers only mark down what they see with their own eyes. If an officer doesn't see the player take the jersey taken off his back, he won't mark it down 'game used.' Thus a genuine and later photo matched game used jersey may be listed in the MLB database as 'team issued.' The officer marks down what he sees, and doesn't speculate or take someone's word.
I've seen video where, between innings, the bases are handed directly to the police officer/MLB authenticator who is standing at the edge of the field. He then takes the bases, applies holograms and puts the specific info into the computer database right there. And, in defense of Steiner, this video was from a Yankees game where the bases were sold by Steiner. In short, the NFL and MLB are different leagues and don't have the exact same practices.

David, I was trying to do that with the Les Shy jersey Hunts auctioned yesterday. If I could have, I would have bid - a '67 or '68 game-used Dallas jersey would be a great addition to my nonexistent man-cave.

An NFL COA is considered reliable. The game ready balls are covertly marked before the game. If your COA is from NFL/PSA, then it means the ball was marked with PSA's synthetic DNA beforehand. As the Giants story shows us, nothing's ever 100% foolproof, but your ball will be forensically tagged as a game ball. It's not a situation where a fan in the stands can switch a ball with one he brought from Walmart.
