Re: Ebay jerseys

I just bought my first REAL authentic jersey and now get the feeling the most of the stuff on eBay is counterfeit. I bought two "authentic" jersey's from eBay, both for b/w $50-$80. Everything was stitched on, including the embroidered Reebok logos and all the rest. The looked authentic, but now having a $300 jersey I can see the stitching is much tighter and the material seems a bit heavier. If you didn't have them side by side you might not really notice, but the stitching the in counterfeits does tend to come undone. The other thing I noticed is that the real jersey is made in Korea while the counterfeit eBay jerseys are made in China. I would actually be skeptical of any jerseys made in China. I bought a Mitchell and Ness off eBay made in China and called M&N directly and they confirmed they do not make products in China, only el Salvador, Korea, Mexico, but not China (or apparently the U.S. too often). In any case, while it might not be worth $200-250 dollars there is a difference between the real deal the stuff sold on eBay. Some dealers might be legit, but I'd say that it is probably pretty rare to find a jersey that isnt' counterfeit on eBay.
