Unfortunately it's more like 99%, which makes it tough when someone like me who does a bit of jersey collecting actually wants to sell something because you can't get a decent price due to 1) people being wary of eBay fakes, 2) fake crap driving down prices. And more recently the quality of the actual Reebok jerseys (really noticed it this year) has also declined to the point where it almost isn't even worth getting the real thing (except the Redskins 75th anniversary throwback jerseys are really quite nice if you can find them, which is next to impossible). Still, I'd never be caught dead in a fake. One man's lament I suppose.

For instance, I just went on eBay and typed in "Redskins Authentic Jersey" and there are three jerseys that might be legit. One is a Reggie Brooks Starter jersey that the guy has listed as "Westbrook" (and honestly I don't even know enough about Starter jerseys to make a call here), one is a Gus Frerotte Starter (above applies, but seriously, who would sell a fake Frerotte?), and one Lavar Arrington (not the one at auction, but the one for $59.95 (the detailed pics look pretty decent). Everything else is bogus, with maybe one exception for another Arrington but not enough pics to make a call. But, I digress (greatly).
