All part of my project I'm working on with the kaepernick lettermans set. Couldn't believe I got it so cheap. Early on I thought I was getting shilled but very happy with the overall price. Would have went up to 85-90.

Merry Xmas to me.
Not bad, too bad it's not an authentic (stitched) jersey. Still a good price though.
Yea wish it was authentic but after searching for over a month this is all I could find. It will work though.
Nice pickup. Not too fond of the COA people.
I personally am not a fan of silk screen jerseys, but you got a pretty sweet deal, and GAI is at least a known company...Smile
What's wrong with the COA people? Are they credible?
hopefully youll get more options over time, but this is a great start, congrats

For an item like this, the COA is just a bonus, but for a high-end item, a COA from GAI is meaningless and not credible. Hopefully your purchased wasn't based on it coming with a COA.

GAI makes full commission if the item is certified, while they get a smaller cut if it fails.

PSA/DNA charges full commission whether the item passes or fails.

So as you can see, GAI makes more money by certifying an item, which is why you see rare signatures from Mickey Mantle, DiMaggio or Ted Williams often show up with a GAI COA and are very very likely to be fake.

Google search "GAI Fake" and other stuff and you'll find a lot of youtube videos and posts from various forums.
