Seller is Steve Misturini and it looks earily familiar in many ways to one that Grey Flannel Sold in the Winter?

Does the Signature look right?

I would love to know the thoughts on this. I have a few items Jerome signed for me none of my autos look like that. Nor have I ever seen his signature look like that.

I picked up a Steelers retail that was already signed. Don't know anything about Bus autos, so I posted this on an autograph forum. Everyone that responded seemed to think it was legit.

Mulligans-it is the same jersey that Grey Flannel sold as a complete uni last year. I looked at the jersey closely and it has the same repairs etc.

This jersey recently sold on ebay a few weeks ago. It looks like a legit shirt with seemingly authentic repairs, but who knows.

We need to get the football threads back up with some new additions! I have a few nice new pieces to add in the next week.

Always buying 49ers game worn items and all 1994 49er GU items!

Seller:
Tremendous use showing on this fantastic specimen. Extensive team repairs just about everywhere. Extensive repairs on right shoulder down sleeve as seen in photos. Huge repair accross rear #3 going into number. Numerous hit marks.

GF:
The uniform shows light to moderate game-use with team repairs.

I'm still trying to figure out if it's the same Jersey....no GF COA, added signature...seems to have quite different descriptions although the pictures are tough to see for sure. I thought that the signature was questionable?

I was the winner when it just sold on Ebay but unfortunately I never received the item to check it out. Thankfully I received a full refund from paypal and want to help out a potential buyer if he is also about to be taken.

I don't think it's the same jersey. Look for example at the base of the V-neck.

I have added some photos of the Bus' auto I got in person in NJ three years ago for reference. The first photo is a throwback helmet he signed for me, the other is a pict if Hines Ward right before he signed the other side of the helmet, but you can see Jerome's sig in the photo prominently. Hope this helps!

Just look at the difference in the Russell Athletic logos. Clearly not the same size.

I had thought for sure it was the same Jersey until I noticed the 2 small flag style tags lined up differently to the number 7 on the other tag. Then I got to thinking that maybe the Jersey had been modified to look slightly different because it looked identical in so many other ways?

If it is not the same Jersey, I would recommend all to stay away from this Jersey and seller at all cost. The seller is a pro at adding Team repairs and fake use, adding player #'s to Pants, socks, wristbands etc. He has even become a Pro at adding his own autographs. Many of the Auction houses are familiar with his track record and there are many documented cases of proof to this affect.

As I said earlier, I purchased this item 2 weeks ago and The seller said that he received "confirmation of delivery" from USPS. The reason why I never received it is that it was never sent to me. Paypal has since learned that the corresponding USPS tracking # was purposely addressed and delivered to a Dunkin Donuts down the street. It was openened in front of the Postal Employee and the box contained an old pair of stained smelly sweat pants. The USPS and Pay Pal are presently investigating, but I'm sure nothing will ever be done.

I'm sure that the seller will read my post and shut down this Ebay account and just move on to another as he has done in the past. Its really unfortunate that there are already bids on the item.:(

This is the same Jersey that was sold by S. Misturini only a few months ago and has made it's way back to Ebay again.
