I was sent this link asking my opinion. I hope noone on here is bidding on it thinking its a game used jersey
http://www.ebay.com/itm/MANNY-RAMIREZ-Tampa-Bay-Rays-Game-Used-Jersey-COA-/120893624717?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1c25d2518d

I imediately knew the seller, as he emailed me about this very jersey. At the time he emailed me he DIDNT have a team loa. He told me he got it at Rays fanfest, to which i informed him those Mannys issued.

Just looking at the jerseys wash tag you can tell its issued, but he claims to have a team loa stating its used. I emailed my contacts at the Rays asking if they issued any loas a during fanfest. They replied that 1 loa on team letterhead was sent out BUT it just stated that items were purchased from the Rays during fanfest. There were no specific items on the loa listed.

I emailed the seller asking to see a closeup, he said he'd see what he could do that was 4 days ago. I tried emailing and calling the store but with no luck.

I then looked at hiS other items and they all have loas. Weird since the Rays only sent him 1. Also notice anything missing from them? No signature at the bottom. These loas are copies with item specifics added by the seller.

THE MANNY IS NOT USED, NEITHER IS THE SHOPPACH. The Manny IS issued and the SHoppach is a player appearence.

The helmets are used but the coas are not legit.

Man thats a nice looking jersey! Oh wait im the seller :D

Thats my jersey. It was purchased at the fanfest and unfortunatly the Rays didnt issue any loas for those items. Its a legit jersey that shows light use.

Any other questions feel free to ask.

thanks cubbs1232 (and for the honest reply). Were these marketed as GU or are you basing on physical appearance?

The older logo stuff was sold as game used. Some showed a lot of use while others not so much.
