this is a letter from AN AUTHORIZED WEBSITE that me and my folks go thru....bout fakes
"The best way to know you are not buying a fake is to purchase only from authorized, legitimate retailers (like us). Here are a few "red flags" to watch out for fake jerseys:
The jersey is priced way below retail (for example a jersey that normally sells for $300 is only $150 or $200)
The jersey is being sold on the street (street vendor), out of a van, or in a store alongside other counterfeit items (like fake Gucci bags, Fendi bags, etc.)
The jersey is being auctioned on eBay and there are several of the same exact item for sale.
The retailer is not on the Mitchell & Ness Authorized Retailer List (here's a link:
http://www.mitchellandness.com/06authorized.htm).
The quality and colors are not quite right when compared to a real jersey.
The jersey is a player or team that Mitchell & Ness does not make (like Michael Jordan, O.J. Simpson) "
