It's 99% fake, and you wouldn't believe how good the fakes can be.

I've ordered soccer jerseys off of ebay, knowing that at $30 a pop the odds of them being authentic were pretty low, but decided I'd be OK with fakes at that price. They came, and I was amazed. The exact same tags as authentics with holograms, holograms actually on the jersies identical to the real ones, tags inside matched the real ones perfectly. The only way you could tell they were fake was to hold them up to the real version of the same thing and notice the fabric was a bit different.

So pretty much expect fake. Even if it looks good, it's probably fake. Don't pay more than you would for a good knockoff.
