David Patten 2004 game used jersey (Patriots LOA)
One of my favorite Patriots highlights is the David Patten touchdown on the out and up in SB XXXVI, heck of a catch. This jersey is from the 2004 season, a Patriots championship season. The jersey is made by Reebok and is a size 44. Open sleeves are present on the jersey. Some scuffing is present on the jersey.

On a side note, does anyone know how to just have previously attached images show up automatically like on the old forum settings? I like the visual display of having images already present instead of having to click on the images.

unless the in-line images are enabled, the only way is to link an image from a hosting service...


( Just in case I made the photo relevant to the thread )

OK! Never mind... Looks like all in-line images are turned off...

Wes Welker 2007 game used jersey
The 2007 season was Welker's first season with the Patriots. He was acquired from the Dolphins in the offseason and finished the 2007 season leading the league in receptions for the first time (2007, 2009, 2011) with 112 receptions. Season long totals would be 112 catches for 1175 yards and 8 TDs, he also still had some return duties that year. He last wore this jersey on 10/28 against the Redskins (9 rec 89 yards, 1 TD) week 8, but I believe he started wearing the jersey week 5. These are Welker's stats from week 5 to 8 (all blue jersey games)

week 5 10/7/2007 vs. CLE 4 rec 19 yards
week 6 10/14/2007 @DAL 11 rec 124 yards 2 TDs this was the "the real #81... get your popcorn ready" game
week 7 10/21/2007 @MIA 9 rec 138 yards 2 TDs
week 8 10/28/2007 vs. WAS 9 rec 89 yards 1 TD

totals 33 rec 370 yards 5 TDs

Welker wore a different blue jersey in weeks 1 (@NYJ) and 2 (SD). In the Miami game in week 7, Welker has a hole in his left shoulder (grey area, near the shoulder number 8) that has been repaired. Yellow helmet marks/filed paint are still present on the jersey as well as brown marks on the front numbers from the football. Some turf burn/helmet marks are present on the right shoulder area.

Julian Edelman 2013 Salute to Service Game used jersey NFL Auction PSA/DNA COA

I've been searching for this jersey for a while, and earlier in the year was finally able to pick it up. It was last worn 11/24/2013 in a SNF home game against Peyton Manning's Broncos. The Pats trailed 24-0 at halftime before storming back with 31 straight unanswered points taking the lead before the Broncos tied it to force overtime. Ultimately the Patriots would prevail. In this game Jules had 9 catches for 110 yards and 2 TDs. 2013 was Edelman's breakout year (105 rec, 1,056 yards, 6 rec TDs).

I believe the jersey is a size 38 (PSA/DNA covers up the second digit), which I have seen for Nike Edelman jerseys. 2013 was the last year that Edelman wore sleeves, before switching to open arm holes in the 2014 season. There are a couple of team repairs present and it is in an unwashed state following the Broncos game. I believe Edelman started wearing this jersey during the Tampa regular season game until the Denver game.

9/22 Tampa Bay 7 rec 44 yards, 2 punt ret 29 yards
