Guys

What are your opinions on this jersey? I suck with computer searching and I cant find any game worn jersey pictures of Ichiro during this period to match it. The jersey does look to be authentic mizuno, with tagging. Any help or opinions is appreciated. The seller isnt really too helpfull but he is open to offers, albeit he did shoot my offer of 450 down in a heartbeat.

I noticed a guy from Japan was very interested in the jersey and asked the seller a couple of questions. He claims to own several Blue Wave team jerseys and obviously thinks the Ichiro looks good enough to bid on it himself. While this might not be the strongest point ever, you'd think that a guy with several exemplars in his closet would know what a good one looks like.

With that being said, I'll bet the auction ends prematurely. If it did go the distance, what do you think? Over $10,000?

I don't think it would have went $10,000 plus it's only game issued. I'm sure not alot of people from here would have seen it if someone didn't out the auction. Cause it's not even in the right section.

"I obtained the jersey through a family friend who worked directly with the club"

Have you guys heard this story before? No LOA is what he told me but 100% authentic. Anyhow Im not so sure why the auction isnt in the game used section, maybe he just overlooked it. Looks like the guy has some awesome digital cameras for sale as well.

Heres a side-by-side comparison from an Ichiro jersey I found on display in a Japanese sports museum.
