Heritage Auction-Barry Sanders Game Worn Jersey

[mdallen22]

I just spoke with two gentleman from Heritage Auctions. I forget the first persons name but the second was a Tony.

They basically said they do not have any documentation as to what specific game this jersey was worn in. I told them i've looked through countless pictures and videos and come to the conclusion it is not the same as other jerseys worn during the 1992 season.

**(As i write this they called me back and say they apologize they will look into this further and will follow up with me for more information!)**

They agree this exact jersey has been sold two previous times by Heritage in the past (2006 & 2011), but made it a point to say both times it was purchased by a third party and not in house bidding, even though they realized it brought more money unframed (I though it was funny they even mentioned that; shill bidding?)

I said didn't someone have to do some type of research before accepting this jersey as a consignment, who was that person or persons and what conclusions did they come up with to suggest it was authentic? Tony said he did not know and that maybe Chris Ivy would know and that it might be best to email him.

Customer service was fantastic. They apologized countless times as question after question was left unanswered. I'm curious to see the outcome. I'll keep all posted!

I expect the worst but hope for the best! I'm very opened minded and understand different jerseys are worn during the year but like you said Steve, shouldn't the research be done already and presented for me? Why do i have to go digging?
