Re: Show Me your NFL stuff

Roger, you have an amazing collection, I'm a little disappointed that you haven't shown individual close ups of the Eddie George Oilers jersey yet.

Re: Show Me your NFL stuff

Great work everyone, let's keep it going. Interesting stuff from everybody. It's nice to see these pieces that are locked up in collections, as compared to so many questionable jerseys we see sold over and over.

Here's a 1996 Edgar Bennett Packers jersey. Bennett was a dependable running back for the Pack in the mid-'90s; a great blocker and receiver. Not super-speedy, but a solid runner (1,000 rusher in '95) who excelled in bad weather. This jersey is hammered, with well over a dozen repairs and with Honolulu blue impact marks from the last game it was worn, at the Lions.

These are my other 2 '70s Redskins receivers- '71 Boyd Dowler, '72 Roy Jefferson.

Titan,
I have 2 jersey you might like, the 1997 George and a 2000 Kearse. The George I have photo matched to the Cowboys game 11/27/97. It alo appears the he wore it on 9/7/97 vs the Dolphins. The Wilson "W" is different but you can actually where it was removed. It has a lot of use & repairs mostly on the sleeves & shoulders. The jeresy is tagged 96 and is a size 42.

The Kearse was worn vs the Bengals 12/10/00, vs the Cowboys 12/25/00 and in the NFC championship game vs the Ravens 1/7/01. It came from the NFL and the papersork says worn vs the Ravens. I have photo matches to the other games. It is a size 44.

If you want pictures of anything else on these jerseys
just ask.

Guy,
The Bennett is a good jersey, real nice use.

Two more nice ones. Since Dowler only played one year for the Redskins would you say that all the 71 jersey should be Rawlings?

Hey Roger,

1971 was the last season the Redskins went with a warm weather/cold weather jersey rotation. The warm weather jerseys were the Sand Knit air mesh, and the cold were the Rawlings Durene. Starting in 1972 they used Sand Knit mesh exlcusively.

Gridman,
The Snell jersey is as good as it gets. The Namath look great also. Any more pictures of those, tagging ect, would be appreciated. I have been looking for a good Riggins for years. You have a great Jets collection.
jdr,
A fantastic Redskin uniform. How rare is that to have the pants also.
cohibasmoker,
I really like that jersey also.

Attached is L. C. Greenwoods Pro Bowl jersey. It was used 1-29-79. I obtained this directly from Greenwood and have his letter stating that he sold it to me. I figured I would never have a opportunity to buy one of his Steeler gamer so this was the next best thing considering it came to me direct. It has good use on it for a Pro Bowl jersey.


I am really impressed at the quality of the older jerseys that members have. Several of these are as significate as any in the hobby.

It might be interesting to give a cutoff date and have the members list for their top 5 or 10 from each decade shown here.

Roger

Roger, Your collection is impressive...You have an excellent eye for quality. Please drop me your email address when you have an opportunity.

I have to add my 2003 Ray Lewis to this thread. It is one of my best jerseys. This jersey I have photo matched to the following games:
11/16/2003 vs Dolphins
11/23/2003 vs Seahawks (the game where the left shoulder marks first appear)
11/30/2003 vs 49ers
12/7/2003 vs Bengals
1/3/2004 vs Titans (AFC playoffs)
The photo attached is from the Bengal game.

Re: Show Me your NFL stuff

Cool thread...purchased several items from the nephew of the 49'ers equipment manager during the 50's and 60's. Among the items that pertain to this thread is a 61 coaches jacket and a 68 Wilson F2000 lid. I had never seen this type of jacket before and was having difficulty with any type of photo match but while going through programs from the 1961 season one program, 12/10/61 vs. the Packers shows the coaches wearing this exact jacket. Other lids Niners 57-58 F2000 RP, 54-55 Wilson, 60-61 Riddell TK-5, Chargers 68 Riddell TK-2, 70's Willie Harper and Earl Cooper S.B XIX shirts.

What a great Munoz Jersey !!

Re: Show Me your NFL stuff

Bigklu18,

I looked for a good Munoz for years, I really like it. I am trying to match it to game tapes. I think it way used in '85.

The Willie Harper, Nebraska player, is one I would like to see picures of. Nice stuff.

Here are a couple of Mike Rozier's, since were talking Nebraska. Both are hammered with multple game use, I have both photo matched.

Re: Show Me your NFL stuff

Roger...speaking of Nebraska remeber Tyrese Knox. I think he went for 450 w/6 TD's his senior year against my High School. Nebraska must have seen his Mike Rozier like performances against us every year. Regardless if a Tittle or not your Giants jersey is very sweet. In the spirit of Kevin Green and his generosity by giving back to the old timers don't let Greene know you have one of his gamers he'll probably want it back to raise more $$$ for the old timers. Will attempt to post a couple of more pics. Barry

Re: Show Me your NFL stuff

Had no idea he was from Nebraska. A very underrated, under appreciated and undersize linebacker who played with great passion and integrity who deserved a seaon like 1981. True Niner fans will never forget Willie Harper. Was pleasantly suprised to see it surface. I imagine there are not many of these floating around.

Re: Show Me your NFL stuff

Kevin Greene has became a good friend over the years. I have restored several cars for him, he is a Dodge Charger collector.

He gave me 2 of the 5 jerseys I have of his, and a helmet. He did not have a Ram jersey in his own collection. The last time he was up he was looking at my '90 Ram jersey. I showed him the photo matches I had to 3 games, you could see the repairs to the right shoulder and chest. He told me if I ever wanted to sell it let him know. His birthday is July 31. I gave him the jersey for his birthday this last year. It was one of my most prized possessions, photo's attached. He is really a good guy, I hope he makes it in the HOF.

Re: Show Me your NFL stuff

WOW! Excellent story on Greene Roger. That's an amazing jersey and to give it away for his birthday is awesome.

Love those Rozier jerseys, especially the Oilers jersey. Those jerseys are fire.

Re: Show Me your NFL stuff

Roger,

Please stop posting pictures of that Ray-Ray jersey. I get jealous every time I see it.
