RAY BOURQUE
!Bourque7a.jpg (23780 bytes)

This is a Ray Bourque Bruins jersey that has several problems. In the next several picture you will see some of them. The problems along with the ones I have photoed include fake wear, no inside wear and fake repairs. The jersey was not sewn on a professional machine as I will show you later.  The Photo above shows that the name plate is not centered on the number.

This is a photo of the inside neck of the Bourque jersey. Notice the Size tag has been cut out. This is a common occurrence in faked jerseys. Its done to hide the   fact that the jersey is the wrong size for the player.

This is a picture of the Bourque fight strap. It has a black mark on it. This is another area that people faking jerseys put black marks in. I have seen very few black marks on a fight strap of a real game worn jersey.

The above two pictures shows a repair on the back of the Bourque jersey. This is not a typical  team repair. It looks more like a custom crafted repair.

These last two pictures are of the inside stitching of the shoulder bears of the Bourque jersey. Notice the unprofessional sewing on these two.

Based on all the information I have included in the above photos and other physical evidence on the jersey not seen here it was my opinion that this was not a game worn Bourque jersey. Its a authentic replica altered in a attempt to make someone thinks its been game worn bye Bourque
