Yeah. If you are very well versed with how the authentic looks like then you may be able to spot the difference but like i mentioned earlier, i went out for a drink at night with my friends and i couldn't really tell the difference at first glance. I bought the authentic one from an authorized reseller so i can tell you, the feel of the material in the "graded" one feels quite similar to the authentic one.
What i am pointing out is that these "graded" jerseys are getting better and better in their method in duplicating. I fear that one day, they may even acquired the necessary skills to produce an exact copy of the authentic but at a much cheaper price as they are basically each piece is basically sold without "royalty"

Well, you can say the same for anything else right? If I were to say, collect LEGO or Coke cans, I believe any layman will not be able to tell the difference between an original and fake.
But a true collector can tell the difference.
I'm not worried.
To be honest, I've been listening to fears that 'someday' the fakers will make an exact authentic copy for years. But thankfully 'till this day it has never happened. (I'm guessing they could already have done so, but it became too expensive to produce anyway, lol

)
On a side note... they have Urawa Reds fake jersey too. Urgh. Say no to fakes + WE ARE REDS.
