Where are the best places to try and find pictures of the games? I have tried getty images and there is lots there but I had no luck matching this jersey.

I believe a lot of people try ioffer.com for video of older games. I believe there is a thread on here if you search for videos that has a couple different options. I don't recall any free sites though.

Here is what Pat said. Very kind of him to reply so quickly. Unfortunately he doesn't offer a photo matching service but he was able to help date it a bit better.

"Having reviewed the photos from GUU (and also reviewing the information and photos provided as part of the original eBay listing), there are a couple of things that I can add that might narrow your search:
· Wilson tail tagging style indicates year of issue as 1989;
· Placement of NFL Shield patch on neckband indicates (subsequent) use in 1992 and/or ’93 (patch first used in 1991, but placed below neckband for this year only);
· Maybe just a result of angles of available photos, but I don’t see the Wilson “W” sleeve logo which should be present on the left sleeve, centered just below the striping (from 1989-’92; on both sleeves in ’93 front of center)

Hope this information helps in your search."

If you look very closely you can see a tiny bit of white on the left sleeve under the 7 and stripes I believe this to be the Wilson "W", it seems the sleeve is draped a bit over the table so it is kinda hard to see. I will post better photos of the whole jersey once I get it.

I know this might seem like a stretch to try to see it. But you can clearly see a tiny bit of white which I believe to be the very edge of the "W"

Re: Need a Broncos (Elway) early 90's expert

So according to the info I have gathered this jersey basically has to be from the 1992 season. "W" is on the left sleeve and NFL logo is on the neck band. Which places it in 1992.

Now I just need some help where I can find the most amount of photos from the 1992 season.

Please any help at all will be very very appreciated.

Start with establishing that the jersey is the type and style he would have worn. I would start by looking photos showing him wearing that type/style of jersey.

Despite the religion of photo matching, not all authentic jerseys, not all stains, will be perfectly photo matchable. For example, if a stain came in the fourth quarter, it won't show up in a third quarter photo.

Re: Need a Broncos (Elway) early 90's expert

Of course photo matching would be great and that should of course be looked into. But for practical purposes, the jersey does come with apparently reasonable paperwork, and you can at least establish on your own that the jersey is the kind & style & tagged as worn by Elway.

Assuming it is legitimate (and I can only go by they several pieces of seemingly reputable LOA's) it is 100% from the 1992 season. Here is 1991-1993 you can see that in 1991 the NFL logo was below the neck line. In 1992 its the same jersey style, and in 1993 the "W" in the front not the side and it is on both sleeves.

1991


1992


1993

Bumping the $50 finders fee to $75 Must be indisputable photo match. Preferable a picture I can print and frame with the jersey.

Thanks!
