Please Help - Autograph Identification
« on: Feb 25, 2012, 08:25: AM »
Hi everyone,

I desperately need help with autograph identification on a Manchester United soccer jersey. I may have been screwed over by the team itself!

First of all, I can't really call myself a soccer fan, nor am I familiar with soccer players or their autographs. However, I AM familiar with getting autographs from NBA players and the nuances of what makes a high grade autograph.

Please click on the links below for pictures of the jersey I'm referring to.  I got the jersey directly from Manchester United Football Club at a charity event.  The jersey came with the authentication card pictured.  From what I can tell, the autographs on the jersey do not match up with the players listed on the card.  When I got the jersey, I had no reason to doubt the authenticity because it came directly from MUFC.

I got the jersey for a good friend of mine who is getting married in May, and he's a HUGE soccer fan. His favorite team is Manchester United, and his favorite players are Rooney, Giggs, and JS Park.  I tried identifying their autographs on the jersey but can only find Rooney's.  I don't see Giggs' or Park's on there anywhere.  I did extensive research on their autographs, as well as other Manchester United player autographs, and I even found autographs of players that aren't listed on the card.  So I'm thinking I may have been screwed over by the team... the jersey cost $800 USD!!!

I need help verifying the autographs on the jersey. Can anyone please tell me whether Giggs or Park maybe put a short-hand autograph on here somewhere?  I really think I got screwed.  Please help!  Thanks!!

If you paid $800 for a jersey of any kind, I would say you got screwed.

you created an account just for that? this is a freestyle football forum where 90% of the members don't even care about football.

anyway what i would do is make one photo where you numerize (photoshop) the autographs, then make a list of what autographs you have identified already, and then ask people whether they recognize autographs that you have not identified or also tell you if you were mistaken.

That way it is much easier for people to help you.

Good luck
