I have been looking for a legit gamer for so long. Very nice piece but past my bidding range.

People pay absurd ridiculous prices for items from Patriots Pro Shop. Almost as bad as NFL Auctions.

For the collectors that don't care enough to educate themselves, this is a great crutch to have. It comes directly from the team which guarantees no hanky business...

I know very little about football jerseys and they way teams handle them but this just stood out to me:

"1999 Drew Bledsoe #11 Game Worn Royal New England Patriots Jersey
Official New England Patriots ProShop Game Worn Gear"

".....it’s your chance to own a genuine team issued New England Patriots jersey taken directly from team storage."

They pull a jersey out of a closet after 18 years slap a sticker on it, give it a COA and advertise a team issued item as game used. Basically they don't know that it was game used and they are covering their butts by saying that it is team issued while advertising it as game worn. Team issued is better than nothing but don't advertise it as game used too.

Again I know next to nothing about football jerseys but more than one NFL team has been caught faking game used jerseys and selling them or giving them to the player. Thank you MLB for your Authentication program. Flawed as it may be its still way better than anything else out there.

Maybe some day they will find Brady's two missing jerseys in that closet.

Jersey appears to be game used. Sounds like the wording might be part of a template.

Photomatches for jersey repair on the front by the left of the number 11... unless they got extremely creative with their alternative sewing maching... I agree that the wording is likely just part of the template as I noticed that as well. Looks like a great jersey.

Nice find AK Saint. I also matched some of the loose threads on the right shoulder logo patch. I did a glance through his game photos from 1999 on getty and photomatched this jersey to atleast 4 home games. Very nice jersey indeed.
