Re: AMI Dan Marino

Can someone put those photos side by side so we can see the striping on the left sleeve?

And what about the white border in the shoulder numbers?

Re: AMI Dan Marino

great photo. Am I wrong or does the AMI jersey have no white border between the teal and orange on the shoulder numbers and the game photo does.

I don't know how to compose a side by side comparison- can anyone help?

Also, the sleeve striping on the AMI jersey is perfectly alternating where on the game photo the orange seems to be hugging the teal right above it.

Just my opinion, but I think you might have proven that the marino sold by AMI is not the one in the game photo because of the numbers and striping of the left sleeve...

Could it be a backup jersey?

Spacing between the stripes is the same. Keep in mind that Marino is wearing the jersey with pads. In other words the jerseys is stretched as opposed to photo of just jersey. Striping is identical. Again, that does not confirm that it is the same jersey....but it confirms that photo is identical match. I think if Catello verifies equipment manager identified in AMI Coa then highly probable that the jersey is authentic. I have a contact who will attempt to verify info with Catello next week.

Re: AMI Dan Marino

The stripes do not match up with the game photo, plain as day. Style match only. Probably an "extra" jersey, I don't think the final price was too unreasonable. Would have gone for a lot more with a definite match.

Re: AMI Dan Marino

Guess what I found....ain my collection....a game photo of Dan in the 94 TB jersey. The AMI jersey is an exact match with the photo. I am still investigating the equipment manager but Lund....the jersey is an exact match. You can search film all day long....jersey is photo match.

Re: AMI Dan Marino

Even the distance between the numerals on the sleeve and the start of the stripes appears dead on....

Re: AMI Dan Marino

Pete,

I tried to send you a PM but your account was not accepting them? You can send me one if you'd like. An "Ultimate" Marino to me would be an unwashed Photomatched jersey with a Letter from Pat Catello (A must!)

Re: AMI Dan Marino

Hi Everyone,

I have been following this story, and figured I would share my insight. I had seen the Marino Throwback jersey in AMI and was so excited. As many of you may know, I have been seaching for the ultimate Marino, and had thought that I had finally found my shirt. The fact that AMI had it and it was not even advertised properly left me a little hesitant, but I thought I may be able to get lucky! I was prepared to go to the extreme to get this shirt, which if genuine could land in the 20K range. That being said, I started to research. I knew the only source to confirm the authenticity 100% would be to get in touch with Pat Catello, as he certainly is the Miami Dolphin supreme authenticator.I have since been in contact with people in the Dolphins and can confirm that the throwbacks were worn in 2 games only, 9/18 vs Jets (in MIAMI) and 9/25 vs Vikings (In MINN.), and that both of these jerseys were in fact owned by Mr. Catello, completely unwashed and PHOTOMATCHED to a tee! In fact the one worn vs. Minnesota has been put on display in the Miami Dolphins current Hall of fame in the stadium by Pat as he is going to be placing his entire collection in the new Dolphins Hall of Fame which will be lodged in the stadium when construction is finished. One of this forums users has posted a photo of Pat with this shirt. This has all been confirmed by Pat, and he has a radio show on Monday nights in which he allows equiptment and collectible questions. I will be calling in this week and hopefully will get to talk to him personally. Needless to say I have been deflated! However, just another sad story in the current state of this hobby and these auction houses! But one thing is for sure, this board is awsome!

Re: AMI Dan Marino

Check this photo out. It is a photo of Marino with Pat Catello (Dolphins equipment manager in 80's). Looks like 94TB jersey.....same as AMI jersey. AMI jersey is looking solid.

Re: AMI Dan Marino

lund6771,

In post #51, you inquired whether I am a dealer or collector. I will answer your question with a question of my own. What does that have to do with the Marino jersey or this thread?

You have been complaining about this jersey for two weeks but have yet to provide evidence backing your claim. It sounds like you have not even viewed the evidence yourself at this point. How fair is that to any Seller?

How can a Seller agree to remove an item without being supplied with supporting evidence that the item is not as advertised? Furthemore, how can they be expected to remove the item if you do not contact them with your concerns? Surely you nor anyone else in this Forum can really expect a Seller to automatically remove a documented jersey from an auction or sale based on posts in this Forum that do not provide any concrete evidence that a jersey was not worn. And even if you did contact the Seller, don't you think that it would be wise to first have the evidence in hand?

I am not trying to beat you to death on this issue, I am just trying to make a point about fairness. If the jersey is not game worn as you claim, then do the right thing and gather the evidence and present it to the Seller. If I were buying or selling an item that wasn't what I thought that it was, I would hope that the good neighbors in this Forum would bring it to my attention. I would also hope that everyone in this Forum would want to be treated that way if they were in a similar circumstance.

Re: AMI Dan Marino

dukes...I'm not really sure where and how our opinions vary...

in the 84 pic you provided, if you cut half of the sleeves off then it would look like the Vikings game pic...

there is only ONE orange stripe in the Vikings pic...

videos will be coming soon
