Red Sox Great Jersey Legit?

[Smaaug]

Hi hoping to get some advice and help on the below item

https://www.ebay.com/itm/David-Ortiz...wAAOSwFNFf2tIw

This is the second similar jersey I’ve seen on eBay recently (def not the same one though). Two different sellers with identical descriptions and same misspellings so lots of red flags just seems like this would be a weird and very difficult item to forge. Would love to have to display but would appreciate any advice first.
Thanks all

Looks like someone used some talk-to-text software or something there, instead of typing out the names. I love the "No More Garcia Power"!

As for authenticity, I say the shirt is authentic. It's an eclectic group of people who have signed it - but the signatures all look good to me. The seller is in Cape Coral, FL, which is close to the Red Sox spring training home in Fort Myers.

My best guess is the veterans who signed this shirt did so at the Sox Fantasy Camp, which is held in Fort Myers each January. I've attended it many times and recognize the names on here, and the signatures look right. (There are some who have signed it that aren't even listed, like Butch Hobson and Lenny DiNardo). I'm pretty confident about that, since that would be the one occurrence when this multi-generational group would be together.

The remaining guys could've signed at spring training or other events - can't say for sure, but the signatures I can ID all look pretty good.

As for a second similar listing, I can't say since I didn't see it, but that's my thoughts on this one....

I like the Jeremy Renner listed instead of Jerry Remy. At least Renner has a Fenway Park connection with the movie "The Town.

I'm a big fan of Doug Merra belly.... I mean Doug was never in the greatest shape, but I wouldn't say he had a belly.

Thanks all for the advice. Ended up going for way more than I was willing to pay as the I was the underbidder on the previous jersey at about 150$ less
