Re: 1994 NY Jets Marvin Jones game worn throwback jersey
Jetsfan,
I will tell you this, I don't know about that particular jersey. But I noticed the Rainbow LOA. I bought an early 80's Eric Dickerson SMU game worn jersey from one of their auctions in the early 90's. The jersey was very nice and I have since sold it. I made a very nice return on it, but it is one of those pieces you kind of wish you held onto after the fact. Just interesting because I have seen very few of their letters still floating around.

Scott...I know the source where Rainbow was getting their Jets stuff back then and it's iron clad...the guy gave me a tour of their practice facility by Hofstra and he knew all players, coaches, and office people...he traded them electronics and appliances for all sorts of Jets items
can't remember how I got hooked up with him, and it's been many years since we've spoken...but he was a great sourceComment

Lund and Jetsfan,
This is a perfect example where most collectors will see a Rainbow LOA and walk away without doing a little research possibly missing the boat on a great piece. I agree that they had some quality items in their auctions and in hindsight wished I got more of it. Good luck on the Jets jersey as it is hard to let some things go. Just look at it as a precursor to better things to come.

It's a tough one to let go for sure Scott and as it looks right now somebody is going to get a real steal.Comment

Jetsfan,
Couple hours to go. Hopefully that baby will go at the end. Good luck!

Re: 1994 NY Jets Marvin Jones game worn throwback jersey
I think I pay (literally) for my disdain towards auction houses. This is a good example as I believe this jersey would have commanded a better price in a major auction house. They could have crayoned up a nice Lampson LOA for it and charged a buyer a cool 20% buyers fee. I lost on this jersey but it I don't consider it a sale so much as I do a trade as I was looking to recoup funds for a sweet early 80's Jets piece I scored recently so all is good. Hopefully the winner was a Jets fan but either way he got a fair deal and a sweet jeresey. I was contemplating listing a green 1994 Jets throwback on e-Bay but I think that plan is out the window lol.Comment

Re: 1994 NY Jets Marvin Jones game worn throwback jersey
I know you are not a Shadetree fan JM but I think you're selling Jones way short. The numbers between him and Clifton are very similar with Marvin having 1200 + career tackles (a little shy of Clifton's 1450+) but Marvin had twice as many sacks. They both played 10+ season with only the Jets. And remember Marvin missed an entire season due to that freak accident in training camp. Both were great Jets LB's and put up impressive numbers...too bad neither experienced a tremendous amount of team success.Comment
