All,

How does this one look to you?

> 1993-1 tag looks like wrong material and may contain incorrect number of characters
> Extra large NOB
> Nameplate on back doesn't appear to match the rest of the jersey
> Lampson's letter provides an unusual red flag too -- he states that the wear on the front lettering is light to medium, but the name and number on back exhibit little to no wear?

Granted, this is not nearly as bad as the previous 1993 Ripkens we have seen in the past, but at the current bid price of $1,500, wouldn't a buyer want a little more security?

Let's hope the high bidder is a shill, because this one is a Pam Anderson jersey (surgically enhanced). There's a chance that this was a blank 1993 TI Orioles jersey. There's no chance that it's a game-used Ripken.
As the OP pointed out, the NOB is the wrong size, and the plate is too tight.

The high bidder got the jersey for $1,500 because he met the reserve price of $1,500. The second high bidder was in the $300's. That's a huge disparity that should say something. Doubtful that any shill bidding would have occurred here; just someone potentially taken for a ride.
