his own words when displaying the blurred out pic to mask the notch:
"The Magic shirt shows no indentication, and the third Chamberlain shows either no indentation or a very little one. (see graphic Wilt Chamberlain Front Comparison, last image) This post is also in response to the Magic Johnson shirt currently being offered by Heritage Auctions and hope that the provided image of Magic without the indentations in the numbering supports that opinion also.<-----"the PROVIDED image of Magic without the indentations.....(swaying the public into believing this with a low res blurry pic) so thus, he clearly states that the provided image of Magics is without indentations in the numbering supports that opinion also.<-----clearly states the Magic provided w/o indentation...which is false IMO the specs descriptions were altered to suit the piece Last edited by mickeymao34; 03-22-2016 at 02:15 AM.

Mike, with respect to Mears, the good they have done far outweighs the bad. Mistakes have been made by everyone and at all levels. I'm still in their corner.

I'm sure the guy that shelled out 18k for that Magic is forgiving like you are!

Myself, I would like to see authentications based on facts and NOT theories.

Mike, with all due respect. Even if your Magic theory is correct that is only one example. Mears are a respected company that has been around for years and has authenticated and sold too many numerous items to name.

David, There are MANY other examples I just used this one b/c I have been collecting Lakers game used jerseys since 92. And even if this is the only example I know of it is ENOUGH to question the companies authenticating. The Man himself posted in the Wilt thread justifying reasons why he deems the Magic piece offered up in a auction and selling for 18k as real. So either he posted lazy haphazard examples or plain out made in error, he should post and explain why he did indeed make an error. He certainly did post right away in defense of himself in Wilt thread. I'll let others come fourth with examples.

Since Mikey set me up so well with his last post I guess it is time I chime in. I have been following this post along with the Wilt/Magic Post. I myself contacted MEARS about the Wilt jersey because of so many issues with the jersey. I received pretty much the same response that was posted in thread by Troy.
That however was not the first time in the past several months I have contacted MEARS. I contacted them concerning this lot below that sold for $28K! #Lot #14: 1991-92 (post November 30th, 1991) Michael Jordan Chicago Bulls World Championship Season Game Worn Home Jersey w/ Sheri Berto Black Memorial Shoulder Band (MEARS A10) http://sports.mearsonlineauctions.co...entoryid=93740 As a Bulls fan and game worn jersey collector I realized right away something seemed off with this jersey. Once compared to game pics from 1991 and other gamers the issues piled up. 1) The "BULLS" on the front should be screen print, and not Heat pressed vinyl 2) overall spacing of "BULLS" is way too close- 3) space in between the middle of the "U" is far too narrow 4) space between where the "S" curves up and down and middle is too narrow 5) there are black triangle (Notches) on the top and bottom of the "S" in the game shots not present in offered jersey. 6) numbers are spaced too high up on shirt and too close to "BULLS" 7) on the "2" there is a large space of white mesh from where the number curves down to where the 2 diagonal portion comes down. These points are almost touching on jersey offered. Same problem where "2" curves up. 8). Middle portion of "3" comes out too far on offered jersey while on game shots it is much shorter. 9) overall red color of heat press is wrong. Offered jersey is more a fire engine red rather than a true red. Compare to game pics and side by side of another offered (signed jersey in the side by side pic below) game jersey that compares much better to actual game shots. My response from MEARS was that there were 41 home games that season and was I comparing to all games, lol. I challenged them to find any pic that even resembled their jersey and I never heard back. IMO this jersey was poorly customized from a blank jersey and has zero chance of being game worn let alone being a A10. Keep in mind this jersey sold for $28K!! There are a few others that have sold recently I'm having trouble matching up with photos.... I know every AH has things fall between the cracks and it is ultimately on the buyer to do their own research. With the internet today, it is very easy to RULE OUT a jersey as being game worn. In the end, pictures never lie. Jeff
