Someone Has a Fake
“. . . someone has a FAKE
The headline of a recent TMZ article reads:
“Two camps are claiming to be in possession of the REAL jersey worn by Michael Strahan in Super Bowl 42. . . which means someone has a FAKE.”
Michael Strahan, Pro Football Hall of Famer, who wore the jersey, claims the real thing is on display at his home.
But Goldin Auctions, one of the top sports memorabilia dealers in the country, which prides itself on trading in authentic items, claims it holds the real thing and plans on putting it up for auction to the highest bidder.
Strahan claims after his NY Giants beat the New England Patriots on Feb. 3, 2008, he gave his jersey to a friend and instructed that person to take it straight to Strahan’s hotel room for safekeeping.
But, Goldin Auctions is disputing that claim, insisting the REAL jersey ended up with a Giants equipment manager that day, who then passed it along to another person, who brought it to Goldin Auctions.
Without more information, we cannot be sure which one is right. But the one thing we can agree on is this, both jerseys cannot be real. One is authentic and the other is not. Or to put it in the words of TMZ, “someone has a FAKE.”
