@Watford Bros I feel it coming

[@lukeramage224]

Ellis you've probably heard this before, but I heard something recently that apparently Messi has 100s of player spec shirts made per game in order to give to the opposition, fans etc. So people who list their Messi shirts as match worn and received from a (for example) Girona player may not necessarily be the shirt he was wearing in that match and their one of the 100s of player spec Messi shirts made per game. I reckon this is why it's near on impossible to ever find a genuine match worn Messi shirt. Ellis your a legend appreciate the content hopefully you will get your money and your Aguero shirt back soon.

The point about the publicity being the sellers ulterior motive to scamming you is spot on. I'm 90% sure that is why the seller risked it. That being said I'm hopeful that you'll get your money back, I can't see the seller getting away with this.Makes you think how badly the seller is tarnishing his families name considering it is a generational business, but also makes you think whether this is a standard practice within their business🤔

[@MrUltrAdaman]

He succeeded in getting publicity… just maybe not the publicity he was hoping for

[@manc_revolution6101]

I’m not sure it was publicity…didn’t Ellis swap the match worn Aguero shirt and pay money as well? Think the guy just thought this is a major win and was intent on scamming from the start. There is no way someone who has sold /traded 1000’s of football memorabilia didn’t know that football shirt was worn in a match, he’s probably done the authenticity receipt himself.

[@ANEO13141015]

If you paid a portion of the payment to a company name via credit card you can use the evidence and raise a chargeback/section 75 claim regarding it being missold. You would get the money back it’s just the aguero shirt you’d loose out on :/ hope this might help 👍🏻

[@oufc90]

Yes this!! Under the Limitation Act 1980 you have 6 years from date of sale to raise a Section 75 claim with your bank.

[@Mcsherry95]

Honestly it was red flag city from the very start Ellis, I remember his "car broke down" and personally thought it was a weird situation from the offset, easy for me to say in hindsight though, hope you get sorted.

[@hauntedvoyager7806]

So sorry about this. I’m now officially scared to ever contemplate a match-worn shirt purchase.

[@NcWcN1]

Definitely. Out of my collection I only have three or four, tops. All sourced from the kit rooms. One of them was a spare from World Cup stock that never went past match-issue because the kit was not used at all (i.e. we played all of our matches in the home one). And it was a hand-me-down.

[@FloAndTheMachine]

Me too. I have one that was purchased straight from Michael Owen himself and matches up completely, both otherwise I wouldn’t go near one now

[@darylarmstrong79]

Can't believe the seller actively ignored your legitimate request of a refund and your aguero shirt. Hope everything sorts out soon

[@tommydonegan4317]

Hope the aguero shirt turns out to be fake and he gets a taste of his own medicine

[@ElliWB]

Aguero Shirt is fake too since the nameset wasnt used on matchworn shirts only on commercial ones. He has to open up his eyes so many Things are clear. Plus the super collector isn't known in the collector bubble. Nobody knows him. The biggest Argentina collectors don't know him. Poor Ellis but yeah

[@tommydonegan4317]

@@ElliWB so it was fake too😂

[@ElliWB]

Yeah and I can tell you why. The numbers of his Aguero shirt (made by deko graphics) have small lines an holes inside. The real ones (made in Argentina) have lines and printed dotes. Means on the real ones it was impossible to see the color of the stripes beneath. On Ellis pictures you can see the light blue color of the shirt through the dotted lines inside the number. Funny thing is that the so called super collector from the US was scammed with an argentina shirt :-D. With the difference that Ellis did not know it as well because he trusted a fucking COA

[@BasicCoverMan]

@@ElliWB Not true. The match it was worn in is on youtube, video named "Lionel Messi● Score A Hat-Trick Argentina vs Guatemala" and there's a clear view of Aguero shirt at 4:09. It's identical to the shirt Ellis handed over.

[@UKMusicCharts-UK]

I'd keep an eye out for your Aguero shirt too, don't want them selling it before you get a chance to get it back and of course a full refund, good luck with it all and at least you have lots of proof and have documented a lot of the transaction too, that will help a lot on your part.

[@cloudyuk]

Gutted to see this Ellis. It's getting worse trying to find genuine matchworn shirts, and I've even seen people creating their own COA's to try to back up the items they are selling. I hope you get the Aguero shirt and your money back, and I would go for the money you spent on the photo verification on top too.
