Julius Peppers game worn jersey question.

[Blitzmaster]

This jersey was on Ebay and I won it BUT I cannit style match the sleeves. I can't find any pictures of Peppers wearing this style jersey anywhere. It has a j.o.sports coa but I know this jersey originally sold through Historic auctions. any help would be appreciated

Looked it up by the number

http://www.ebay.com/itm/261223883182?ru=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fsch%2F i.html%3F_from%3DR40%26_sacat%3D0%26_nkw%3D2612238 83182%26_rdc%3D1

It appears he wore a shorter cut in the sleeves. All the pics I have just looked at. Interesting it came with a JO Sports COA. Maybe try contacting JO with your question. I know they get a bad rap on here but they have always answered questions regarding any item I have had doubts on that they authenticated.

[Blitzmaster]

yeah, just sent them an email.

after extensive searching, this is all I can find him wearing throught his Panthers days.

Out of curiosity what is the number on the COA hologram ?

Honestly, I believe this jersey was previously owned by a collector on here before it hit eBay.

I believe this is your jersey after doing a little research:

In My Opinion, To Me It Looks Like One Of The Jerseys
You Get From Nfl Auctions. Which Jo Has Been Know To Buy From,
And The Style Of Cut Is Different.
My Jarred Allen And Desean Jackson Where Like That When I Got Them From Jo, Same Size Player Wise But Different Sleeve Cut.

I have owned lots of Panthers jerseys from that era with team repairs acquired directly from the teams sale. The sewing on the repairs of the Peppers looks nothing like any of the repairs on any of the jerseys I have owned. It looks like a sloppy homemade job.

I did not see any up close pics from Blitzmaster so I did not comment on the repairs before.

Also if it was sourced from Historic Auctions I would be more than a little bothered. I believe they are no longer in business. Here is a link to an article where the owner admitted to doctoring jerseys.

Another link here is the indictment

I would be sending that jeresey back to the original seller and get your money back Blitzmaster.

Thank you everyone, Although I was the winner of the auction, I had never actually paid for it as I was unsure of its authenticity. figured it was too good of a deal when he agreed to my price of $750.00. Too bad as I have been looking for one for a while. I explained my concerns to the seller and he terminated the sale. Well see if he relists it or contacts J.O. sports.

It looks like this jersey is back up on eBay.

I'm so glad this forum is here.
I was really thinking about bidding on it until I read everyone's thoughts on it.

[RMoody]

Been back up for a while. I'm actually surprised it hasn't went, really low price. To the uniformed the older COAs from JO might not invoke fear. Even recently JO has IMHO done alot to regain my credibility, I respect and completely understand others will never buy again.

Personally, I'm staying as far away from that jersey as possible. It's gonna burn somebody, but a small amount given the price.

I must say, very honest of that seller on the listing he comes right out on the description and says event/practice.
