If you want a look at an NBA Commemorative Collection jersey being touted as game used when it is not, observe item 250652852599 (can anyone link me up?).
The NBA Commeorative Collection jerseys are the NBA equivalent of MLB Score Board jerseys...authentic, usually properly tagged and sized jerseys that were never issued to or worn by the player, but made for retail purposes. The close likeness causes less knowledgeable collectors and sellers to believe them to be game used items, when they are not.
In nearly all cases with the NBACC jerseys, a small detail or a variance in proper sizing usually is the tipoff. In this case, the NOB is without serafs, incorrect for any 1991-present Bulls gamer. The NOB lettering should employ serafs.
Again, I don't believe the seller is being dishonest...I just think he's not aware of this type of jersey being made close to 20 years ago.
BTW: The Jordan from the NBACC issuance is also road red, and also has the same NOB font problem.
