I picked up this Joey Jones USFL jersey on Ebay yesterday. Jones was a star at Alabama and is now the head coach at South Alabama. The guy who sold it to me bought it at a thrift store for $10! After a ton of research I am all but certain its a gamer. The lettering on his name is in line with what the Stallions used in 1985. I have struggled to find pictures of the Stallions wearing the Red Jerseys in 85 but I did manage to find a video of a preseason game where they wore the red jerseys and a picture from a game against San Antonio that I think has to be from the 85 season. The jersey has been hemmed and that resulted in the Russell tag being removed. I was able to find a Joe Cribbs stallions game jersey where the same alteration had been made. So the lack of a tag didn't bother me as much. Can any of you spot any flaws in this being an actual game used jersey?
I even dropped Coach Jones an email and he said it passed the eye test.
Was able to pick up a Brett Marshall Game Used spring training hat from 2013...Brett is from my very small town in S.E. Texas, I've known him since he was in t-ball and he played ball with my brother all the way through high school so it's really cool seeing someone you've known for so long finally get a shot at the pro level...he's now with the Cubs so hoping to pick up some new items this year

I agree, it had to be from 1985. The font does not match their 1983 or 1984 jerseys but does match my 1985 white Stallions jersey. I was interested in this one but could not find any footage or pictures where the Stallions wore red jerseys with a wide mesh like this one in 1985. Could find pictures from 1985 where they wore narrow red mesh jerseys. I thought it was a team issued jersey at the least and possibly game worn but could not find a game where they wore this style. There were games from 1985 I just couldn't find any pictures or footage of.
I'm late in posting this from awhile back; a bat I was really happy to acquire as I had only seen a couple of other post-season Jeter HR bats previously in the marketplace - the Mr. November bat and the Jeffrey Maier bat, at least that I am aware of anyway....
He hit home runs in Game 1 and 2 of the 2002 ALDS with this bat, the 10th and 11th of 20 career post-season home runs. And also the letter signed by Jeter is unusual in that it spells out the details of the specific games, dates, innings and pitchers the home runs were hit off with the bat.
