So I recently picked up this jersey and I think I have the closest thing to a photo match I can get on this one as it looks to have been laundered and doesn't have many hit marks.
The set 1 was sold with an auto by American Memorabilia: http://www.americanmemorabilia.com/Auctions/AuctionItem?AuctionId=62050&t=&p=0
Here is a loose thread on the back nameplate:

Here is a photo from the game at the Broncos 10/6/1997:

If you zoom in you can see the loose nameplate threads on the bottom right corner:

Here is the set 2 stamping:

Here are marks on the lower back tail:

Stains on the back collar:

Hit mark practically on the left armpit:

I'm obviously pretty certain it is game issued, but the laundering has made it incredibly tough to photo match. I'm wondering if anyone has any better ideas to get a better match to help with game used provenance.
Thanks for any help!
