need gameused NFL tagging help!

[JJKANDLAK]

Have a local party offering me an alleged gameused jersey of a former "star" player of the Colts from mid-1990's

What does everyone think of the tag? Is it from a gameused or team -issued or is it some sort of authentic replica? Any and all help is greatly appreciated!!!! Thanks Jim

Well-made replica. Several examples on ebay. Here's one with the retail hang tag still attached.

The real deal should look something like this.

Correct. That style of Wilson tag, as well as one with a PRO LINE tag,werenever used on Wilson-made gamers/game-issued.

To clarify: JJKANDLAK's photo is the wrong Wilson tag. The Prestige Teams tag in BrianK's photo is the correct one.

FWIW: The Packers never wore Wilson in the 1990s (or many other decades).

A big "thank you" to Brian and Dave for their help!!!! I had a local trying to sell me a Jim Harbaugh Colts jersey as "gameused." Jersey had several autos, which looked legit but I was leery of its game use.

You just never know..I picked up a gameused Colts helmet at a consignment shop recently. Had a LOA from the team. There are some bargains out there but also a lot of phonys!!!
