It's easy to spot a phony jersey. The only thing you have to do is look closely. What should you as a potential bidder be looking for to ensure authenticity?

#1) PLAYER:  DOES MITCHELL AND NESS PRODUCE A JERSEY WITH THIS PLAYER??

Mitchell and Ness has a roster of players they are licensed to produce. Example: There is no Mitchell and Ness OJ Simpson USC Trojans jersey.

#2) SIZE: MITCHELL NESS JERSEYS DO NOT COME IN A SIZE 58, EVER.

Size is a dead giveaway, 58 = FAKE. Always ask the seller the dimensions of the jersey.

#3) LETTERING : SCREEN PRINTED OR SEWN ON TACKLE TWILL.

Some have one style lettering, some have the other. The key is knowledge of which is appropriate for the player, team, and year.

#4) SELLER: ONLY lakeshow2 SELLS NWT REAL AUTHENTICS AT $24.99

LS2 is known by every serious M+N buyer, he has the best stock and awesome prices, what else can you say, no on els is even close...All hail Lakeshow2.

#5) PATCHES / LOGOS / TAGGING: CHECK THE DETAILS, CHECK THE DETAILS, CHECK THE DETAILS, POOR PICTURES ARE NEVER A GOOD SIGN OF QUALITY

#6) DO THE RESEARCH: MITCHELLANDNESS.COM, CHECK + COMPARE

#7) CHECK THE FEEDBACK LEFT BY PREVIOUS WINNERS

#8) SEE THE AUCTIONS OF pearl3147 THIS WEEK!!!!!!!
