Hi everyone! Another new member to the forums, from Scotland over in the United Kingdom. Been reading the forums daily for around 8 months now and have recently been made a member! It's great to know there are loads more people like me, lol!
I am a huge Dallas Cowboys fan and have been collecting game used gear for a few years now. I have a game used helmet and 6 games used jerseys including 2 uniforms from the 2009 playoffs. Have 2 practice jerseys too. Turns out a few of my contacts over in the States are GUU forum members! Small world!
I will get some photos of my collection on the forum once I have finished photomatching them. I thought phototmatching was just a picture of the player wearing your jersey in a game you know it was used in. Since discovering GUU I became enlightened to a whole new world of staining, damage, team repairs, loose threads, mesh and stitching patterns etc! I have now lost hours of my life, but I love it! The pride of ownership went throught the roof when I properly photomatched my first gamer! Happy days!
One of the jerseys (which I got at a great price from Brad at Shafrancollectibles towards the end of last year) is a 2010 Dallas Cowboys Danny McCray game used jersey. It had been team-laundered prior to me purchasing it so there is little staining evident, but the jersey has around 15+ team repairs, significant wear and was perhaps was used all season, so I thought a photomatch would be easy. Danny McCray was just a rookie special teamer in 2010 so was very seldom photographed or filmed close-up. I have trawled Google Images and Getty and spent hours watching 2010 Cowboys games on NFL Game-Pass praying for a clear screenshot of McCray with little success. I have a grainy 600x400 photo from Google which is ok, but with such damage to the jersey I would like a crystal clear photo.
So yesterday I somehow stumbled across www.apimages.com and there are 2 or 3 perfect photos on there but obviously the previews are small and heavily watermarked. Does anyone have a contact that could help me with AP Images? Any help would be much appreciated!
