How do I tell if an "authentic" NFL jersey is truly authentic?

If it doesn't cost an arm, a leg, and your first born, it probably is not authentic.

It will be very hard to verify the autentisity of such an object, you will probly need to take it to a professional of the baseball, he will probly need to check the leather and the seams to check wether it is from "back then". Then if that matches up, and the autograph looks valid, then he probly will give you a certificuit of authentisity

i would go to your local sports memorbilia store and see if they can compare it to a real signed ball or next time just dont buy it from a questionable place

An authentic is exactly like the pros wear but a replica you cant really tell the difference.  You could trick someone if they didnt really look close.  The price is much more expensive for the authentic but you cant tell the difference between the 2 jeresys.  They are jeresys either way and the replica would save you tons of money.

real jerserys usual come with a sticker on it saying it's the real thing or they put the supporter logo on the bottom of the jersey like rebok, nike, etc..

Take it to a sports and memorabilia appraiser.  If there's an auction house near you, they should have one.

I usually dry clean mine, it's normally less than $5.00 and they press it for you too, so it looks nice when you head out to the old ball game.\n\nThat is if you're talking about an authentic jersey, If you mean a game-used or game-worn, DO NOT WASH IT, it will lose all value.

Real hockey jerseys are machine washable (thank God).  All practice jerseys, any of your game worn jerseys, all totally fine for washer and dryer (if you're super finicky you could pull them out early and hang them to dry the rest of the way just to save wear and tear but... dude.  It's a *hockey* jersey.  Washing is probably the *least* of what's going to happen to it).\n\nIf it's a Gretzky jersey, keep it under glass and don't wash nothin'.\n\nAs far as cheap replica jerseys go, like you get on Ebay or whatever?  Those can get really messed up by machine washing, mostly because the appliques are glued on and the glue gets goofed up with the moisture and heat.  You could try handwashing.  I'd stick to cold water.\n\n I'm still not sure I'd dry clean them, though.  I mean, seriously.  Don't let a hockey player see you taking a jersey to a dry cleaner.  Make someone else do it.  Serious.  You'd never live it down.\n\n:p

You should be very careful not to give them any info until you contact their "sponsors" to see if they are real or not.\nThey have contact info on their website. Maybe you can try their local better business bureau, to see if they are real or not. Good luck!

You may find a t-shirt with the saying "Re-Building Since 1957/Detroit Lions",at a flea market,maybe the Salvation Army, or in a local Detroit trash can.Really why would you sport anything that said you were a Lions fan? You are better off wearing a Texans or Browns jersey...lol.You should just wear a Steelers Jersey,I do....Luv Ya Black n Gold.....

i think nowadays, all authentic clubs have a hologram sticker on the shaft... also, look closely at the shaft and club head... for any false wordings or anything... ohh, if u r provided with a garantee upon purchase, then its real.

If it is real there should be a serial number on the inside. Also like the other poster said if you bought it from a shaddy guy then its probably a fake. If it looks cheap, it is.
