Stay Away From This Ebay Seller - Scam Artist

[tella27]

thesofasurfer on ebay sews numbers and nameplates onto blank team jerseys and tries to pass them off as being "Game Issued". Looks like he bought some of the blank Indians 0063 jerseys off ebay for $55 and added numbers and plates to them and now is asking over $300

If you look at these listings you'll see this guy is selling different sized jerseys of the same player

I know this guy is a fraud because I sold him the Butler jersey and he had it listed as getting it from Butler's neighbor - I'm not his neighbor and it has a letter from the Royals that was shipped with it after I bought it from the Royals. The guy is a scam artist - he is what makes eBay crap to buy from.
He has been blasted on so many other forums and wanted to make sure he didnt rip anyone off.

The guy just continues to list fakes - look at his Matthews helmet as being his game helmet - first off its the wrong face mask and 2nd he has the headset in his game helmets. Samething with his Tebow helmet. Sellers like this are killing our hobby.

Ill take everyone's word on this. I have also been looking at Steeler jerseys on e bay. It seems to me someone is buying jerseys and getting a seamstress to alter them. To make them look game used or issued. Ive also seen in auction a Casey Hampton gamer. It was a size 48. I dont think Casey ever wore a 48...

There's been numerous threads on this guy before, most notably this one:

I'd be careful what you say! He might end up sending an empty threat your way involving legal action like he did me for posting on that thread. Haha...

This guy is trash - if you look at the Butler jersey he has listed you'll see that the signature is faded and the wash tag he shows looks like it was washed. I was the original owner of the jersey and I still have pictures (I think) of the jersey with a crisp signature and tag. Looks like he washed it to make it look like it might have been worn - instead it just faded the signature. He also go the Glaus jersey from me. I can't say enough he is a dirt bag - I traded him for a Mauer genuine authentic so I could get it signed - he had it listed at brand new without tags. It was worn and washed many times with a sweat ring around the neck from being worn many times. He argued that the jersey was brand new and never been washed or worn...
