Hi, I was wondering if anyone could tell me whether these match the specifics of a Vince Carter game worn jersey, photos can be found here:

If it is a game jersey, I'm willing to pay $30 for a photo match. I think the stain under 5 should make it easy.

Thanks a lot!

After looking at known exemplars, I would say the jersey might be a Chinese knock-off, since the +4 tag isn't centered to the white box above it.

Is it me or does the size tag show a 52 in the frontal picture and a size 50 in the close up picture of the tag?

Wow, didn't even realize that. I bought the jersey so I'll see what ends up happening. The seller had told me she was given these jerseys to sell for a friend who has gone away and he had more Carter game worn jerseys.

Hey Dane, I know Legendary isn't the most respected auction house but here's one from them:

FWIW, I've found Legendary to be top notch in terms of autographs :)

Here's also a T-Mac jersey from the same year:

Yeah, I was going off Grey Flannel, whom I know also has their own problems, but they've been around a while, and the one they were selling came from the Raptors' EQ manager.

In my experience the go to about Vince Carter gamers would be Wayne Otto of Pro Am Sports/ gamewornuniforms.com he has a ton of Vince Cater game used stuff most if not all acquired direct from the Raptors. He can be tough to get ahold of but he has helped me in the past granted I was vet persistent lol.

That was the other site that I had looked at, but I forgot the name. They also had the centered tagging.

These are the examples I could find. It seems a lot from that year did not have centred tagging, unless of course they're all fake.

Mike, the jersey you bought is a 52+2. Did VC wear 52+2 in 99-00?

I think Vince wore a 50 + 4 in 99-2000

I contacted Wayne Otto who did help me, but I need to get the actual jersey (which I should at the end of the week) before he can really determine whether it is legitimate or not.

As for sizing, on his site he has the following VC jerseys from 1999-2000:

50+4
52+4
56+4

How do you know the jersey I bought is 52+2? I can't see the little tagging that shows the + haha.

As the Lady who sold me the jersey told me, and Wayne told me, Vince basically wore a new jersey every game during those years so theres a good chance his jersey sizes varied.

Holy cow a new jersey for every game. That would explain why his gamers have flooded the market and you can still pick them up on the cheap if you shop around.

Yep, the story I was given was that he would wear them and sign them and off they went to charity. Wayne told me that some went to charity (I'm guessing the signed ones were the charity ones) while many more were kept by the equipment manager which is where I'm guessing Wayne got some off his from.

Just asked the seller, I bought a 52+4, not sure where you got 52+2 from.

Oh, I saw a 52+2 on another site, and I thought that might be from the same batch you got yours. :) It's good the seller confirmed 52+4... but that still doesn't explain them sending you a 50+4 picture.

The seller has multiple Carter jerseys.

Got the jersey in today, got new, better pictures of more parts of it. Please ignore some of the black spots as those are scratches on my lens:

Now upping the "reward" to $50 for a photo match for this jersey :)
