Peyton Manning Jerseys (GF) & (VA)

[beantown]

I was wondering what other forum members thought of these two Peyton Manning jerseys up for auction in Vintage Authentics and Grey Flannel. What caught my attention was the neck tags...until these two jerseys, I have never seen the year and the size on two seperate tags, usually just one...any thoughts?

Although I am not a jersey authenticator, I can say that I believe I am an expert on a few jerseys/players...and Manning happens to be one of them. I have a 2006 Peyton gamer that I KNOW is authentic. First, the size he wore on my gamer was a 52...not 50. Secondly, the year/size swatch was one piece...not two.

I personally would NEVER touch a Peyton gamer without provenance from Peyton, Peyback Foundation, Polian, etc. I mean never.

DoctorLoomis,

I do not know about 2006 Manning jerseys, as I do not have one. I do how ever own a 2004 Manning that came from the Peyback Foundation, that was used vs the Jags. The size is 50 +4". Photo's attached. If you are a member you can go into the jersey data base and see more on this jersey, and many others.

HI Roger...yes you are correct in that he wore 50 up until 2006. Then we see the 52's come into play. However, I have never ever seen a legit gamer with a two piece neck swatch.

Roger....also since you have the PeyBack provenance you are obviously good as gold.
