Help! Trying to purchase my first game used jersey
I'm trying to purchase my first game used piece. It is a Calvin Jackson jersey from the 1996 season. I could only find one pic of him wearing it and it wasn't a good one. Any feedback would be appreciated! I thought I found a few before but they turned out not to be. So i'm trying to make sure this one is the real deal.

Re: Help! Trying to purchase my first game used jersey
Jim Yackel is one of the most respected dealers in the game. He is one of a very select few that you can pretty much take his word on it, but also kudos to you for trying to do some research also. I'm no expert on Dolphins jerseys and cannot comment beyond the preceding info.

I agree with Dan. If it's from Jim's Jerseys, you shouldn't be concerned. Enjoy the jersey!!!

Have purchased plenty of jerseys from Jim. Should have no problem with the purchase.

Thanks guys for all your help! I just got back on his website this evening and purchased it. My first game used jersey! I feel like my child was just born! I warned my wife that this is going to be an expensive obsession! Hopefully game used collecting doesn't cause marital problems!

Not if you're married to the right lady, it doesn't!

Welcome aboard, Jason. And just let me give this word of advice: always keep some cash stashed somewhere, because when the right piece pops up, you don't want to be left scrounging for the dough while somebody else snatches up the piece you want!

Thanks for the advice Jags Fan! I've got a good lady who loves football too! So it shouldn't be a problem.

Re: Help! Trying to purchase my first game used jersey
I have been doing some research on the jersey finding out which games they used the aqua jerseys in. The Dolphins wore more white than aqua in 1996, as they do every year. I found they wore those jerseys against the Cardinals and the Eagles. I'm pretty sure they reused those for those 2 games. I found a few more photos too while searching!
