He has a good feedback and it's from Hong Kong. I read jerseys are made in Hong Kong and then shipped to the NBA store or something like that so it seems real. Color looks right and stitching too with tags. Just want to make sure. My first jersey that I would buy from EBAY.

98% is really high. Look at the feedback remarks and see if hes sold jerseys previously.

Looks pretty legit. One of his negative effects was in Spanish I think, and then the one other negative feed back sad poor jersey quality...
BUYER BEWARE- Low Budget Jerseys- No Returns/Exchanges No Communication- No Good
Everyone else loved him.
Okay, thanks for the input.

EDIT: Nevermind, it's a legit swingman jersey. Not an authentic jersey though.
EEDIT #2: Just incase you aren't aware of the differences between a swingman jersey and an authentic jersey, I'll let you know. A swingman jersey is a high quality replica. It is made of mesh, has stitched on letters/numbers (one layer), has an adidas logo (or reebok/nike for older ones) on the shoulder, and is sized m/l/xl/xxl/etc.. An authentic jersey is exactly what the players wear on the court. Letters and numbers stitched on (multiple layers), and they are made of the highest quality materials. They are sized 44/48/52/56/etc.. they do not have an adidas or any other logo on the shoulder, only on the tags.
So this jersey you are looking at is in my opinion a legit product. It isn't however an authentic jersey like the players wear on the court. I'm not sure if you wanted an authentic jersey or if a swingman jersey is ok with you.

It's exactly what I was looking for. I just wanted to know if it was a real NBA product. All the jerseys I have are swingman so I don't mind. :banana:
Thanks everyone. I'm gonna bid on it.

30 dollars? :roll: Obviously fake
Nevermind, clearly mesh and a swingman. Still unusually cheap for a swingman.

I believe I have 51 authentics. 50 NBA, 1 NFL. I have some swingmans kicking around from when I was a kid, but I don't consider those part of the collection. I have recieved a few fakes over the years, but I gave them all away to people who don't care.

Looks fake to me. The NBA logo is off in certain areas. Authentically made products don't mess up on logos even by a thread. Look at real NBA logo and the space between the ball and Jerry West leg is off on the jersey.

My brother bought some authentic Rasheed Wallace and Tim Duncan jersey for 80.00 each from a store called Marshalls at lloyd center here in Portland. They were not swing man, they were NBA game worn quality which go for 170.00.
If you know where to go, those store buy jerseys that don't sell.

I think it's real for this reason: Who the hell makes a fake swingman jersey? :oldlol:

Man y'all are hating on swingman jerseys. I wear a jersey maybe once every two months so I don't want to spend big bucks. How much do authentics go for?

I'm not hating on swingmans, I just don't see a purpose in taking the time to create a fake one, it's already a replica. Usually fakes are made to look like the real deal, that's how you fetch the most money.

Sorry you are clueless. I'm comparing it to my authetic right now and it's the same lettering.

He's got a point there...
Fake replicas? Why? I guess I don't get it. :oldlol:
I see what you're saying. As long as it's not noticable by the average person, I'm fine.
Woah, that Cavaliers one is embarassing.

You're fine buying a second rate product? You realize that these products fall apart after you buy them and are made very poorly. You'll be the one noticing that it's fake when the stitching comes undone.

Like I said, I probably wear a jersey 4-5 times a year. It ain't that serious. You acting like I bought a fake lamborghini. :oldlol:
Dude having a heart attack. If it begins to get undone, I lost 40 bucks? :oldlol:
Someone put me on suicide alert.

yeah, for around 20 bucks, they are worth the money. the material and stitching is practically perfect.
its just an issue if you are really against wearing fakes, otherwise its money well spent
although, the cavs error still baffles me

Most likely fake. Probably bought it bulk at ECseller.com or Jersey101.com. The jerseys from those sites are really good fakes.

Pretty much. Now shoes on the other hand....
Fake Jordans? :no:
Those looks extremely fake that it's disturbing.
