So I stumbled across two interesting listings on ebay that I could use some help with.
First is a 1985 Cleveland Browns Game Used Frank Minnifield jersey.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320324898642&ru=http%3A%2F%2Fshop.ebay.com%3A80%2F%3F_from%3DR4 0%26_trksid%3Dm38%26_nkw%3D320324898642%26_fvi%3D1
The jersey appears to match the style worn in 1985 as I have style matched it to Minnifield's 1986 Topps card which the pic likely came from the 1985 season.

The jersey is missing the the sand knit tagging but has the wash instructions with Berlin, Wisconsin on it. I am also a little concerned by the seller's lack of feedback. Anybody have any thoughts?
The second jersey is from the same seller but is a Carl Hairston jersey which is listed as a 1984 but appears to be from 1985 given the style.

I was able to match the style to the 1985 Browns and this one appears to have the tagging intact but shows little wear for a physical lineman like Hairston. My thinking is that it is at least game issued based on the wear without inspecting it personally. As always, any insights are greatly appreciated. Thanks.
