are they still in operation?  i thought the man shut them down

[Seabiscuit36]

you cant stop Steven
http://www.borntradejersey.cn/  They're using a Chinese host, so i'm guessing that makes ICE/Homeland's job a little harder.  God forbid Roger doesnt get his cut

I'm not sure if they're still active, site is.  twitter last updated in 2013 probably when ICE shut them down.   https://twitter.com/borntradejersey

I bought a white JB in the parking lot in 06' for $50 and it has the stitched numbers. Still wear it today. Got my Hopkins and Reggie throwbacks from born trade in 2010 and they both have stitched patches and are stil holding up well.

i have a reggie that's stitched which i got from a guy that works with me and used to sell sjirts/jerseys in the lots. holding up fine. also got a nice white dawkins jersey from him.

just have to know what you're buying and take care of them.

[ice grillin you]

Stitched numbers on those jerseys are blasephemous....you should all be ashamed

[smeags]

unless you have an acutal jersey from that era they're all phoney anyway.

My wallet isn't ashamed

M&N is 100 real....it's kinda the reason for their existence

[smeags]

they aren't original so unless, like you said, you're a jersey snob, it doesnt matter that much. to each his own.

[ice grillin you]

There's no such thing as original

They are either game worn, authentic or fraudulent ..the one you bought in 1989 at boscovs and the one M&N carry now both fall under authentic

[smeags]

  whatever.

hey, you wanna go pay $250 so you can cling to the "authentic" claim that's your business. sorry, i dont care that much and no grown man should.

[PhillyPhreak54]

I am the same...I won't buy replica's. I did that once when I moved here - a guy I work with had a China connection and I got a Dawk one and everything looks perfect except the front numbers are a smidge too small...and it drove me nuts.

I wouldn't mind paying for a real deal from M&N...you'd think being based in Philly they would have a wide variety of Eagles shtein

[SD]

I'm done with jerseys. Bought a shtein ton of hoodies over the past few years and I'm good.

[ice grillin you]

whatever.

I totally get that....m&n is outrageously priced....im just saying go hard or go home...get the real johnson or dont rock a jersey...a parking lot is no place to get fresh dipped

id even say rock an authentic midnight green before a fraud throwback...and no one on the planet hates the midnight more than me

[smeags]

i hear you and its hard to find a good replica but i have found three over the years. the only one i got in the parking lot was the celek jersey a couple years ago for $25.

dont get me wrong, i have seen the guys wearing the crap jerseys that look like a jets johnson that had the name changed. or the ones where the numbers are too small/big. thats farging embarrassing.

[Diomedes]

All fans look like farging idiots in jerseys. It's like dress up day for fourth graders.

Idiots.

Show some self respect and dress like a normal person.
