Thanks for the help. Agreed - I feel 100% confident (as does my friend) that the nameplate is totally Red's. It's not a question of authenticity (at least not now - if he went to re-sell down the road, it could be, but that is not at all his intention. He's a die-hard Celtics fan.)
However, there were a couple of different nameplates SCP was auctioning, which were advertised as photomatches. Had this one been listed properly as not having the match, he likely would have bid more on one of the others instead of this one. Now they're all sold though, so it's his call on how to proceed.
So it's not about whether it's real or not - it's more the fact of not listing the item correctly, and then taking over a month to get back to a winning bidder about an item which wasn't described properly.
