Joe Dimaggio Autographed Jersey: Forgery

[sammy]

Here is a Joe DiMaggio "autographed" jersey. It is a forgery.

The tag on the jersey tail came out in 2001, and it is the same M&N tag discussed here:

The main issue with this jersey, besides the bad forgery, is that Joe DiMaggio died in 1999. That is a minimum of 2 years before this jersey was even manufactured.

No response from seller concerning this issue.

For those who missed this beauty before eBay removed it, here are the photos from the auction, in case you see it again for sale.

Here's a real Joe Dimaggio autographed jersey and a 16X20 photo that I have in my collection for comparison. Before I got into game used items, my main focus was collecting Dimaggio, Mantle and Williams autographed memorabilia.

Remember Joe Dimaggio, Mickey Mantle and Ted Williams are the most forged autos in the autographed memorabilia business. Make sure you do your homework before you purchase any of their signed items and stick with companies like UDA, Pro Sports Services, Yankee Clipper Enterprises Inc.(Joe Dimaggio Estate)
